    Alright, here's my background statement. Bought a stock pair of 2015 4runner wheels/tires and the tires SUCK on the snow here in CO. I'm literally sliding everywhere!!! Can't take it. Need new tires that don't suck! 265/70/17. Below are some photos and prices of what I am looking at. Give me your opinion, thanks in advance!

    Judging by the tires and the prices posted he doesn't have the funds for k02s. My experiences with the cooper at3 were very good. I had them on a jeep xj though. Never had any problems from them and always got me where i needed to go in the snow.

    I bought the truck with those Hankooks and they actually kinda kicked ass I can't even lie... nothing compared to my current MTRs, and I don't drive in snow, but in the mud/lose rock they surprised me quite a bit by not totally sucking. I don't do business with Cooper after some issues between my roommate and them i'd rather not get into.

    Good luck on your tire hunt OP :thumbsup:

    Edit: Was gonna say "inb4KO2BroSpam" but i'm too late

    How you use the truck is the important part. Buy tires for 80% of your normal driving.

    If it's lots of snow on pavement, buy a real winter tire. Nokian, Blizzak, Michelin Ice, etc. Put them on the old wheels and drive safe.

    Save your fancy new wheels for non-snow tires.

    Off pavement a lot, even in snow, and something else is in order.

    Do not buy a tire on looks and price alone. It's your only contact with the road. #Gripmatters.

    I gotcha, but here in CO it's snow one day, sunny slosh the next. No predicting what we will get, the rockies make their own weather. We get the most snowfall in March! I want something all around badass that will be good in snow, rain, regular pavement, etc.

    Doesn't exist. There are summer tires, winter tires and 3 season tires.

    Pick the right ones for your driving conditions, even if it means having 2 sets.
