All terrains for snow use?

I used to run dedicated winter tires on all of my previous vehicles.
With the Tacoma, I decided on a set of 265-75-16 Duratrac's. In winter conditions, they put other "all season" / all-terrain tires to shame (i've run BFG AT, Toyo Open Country, etc.). They don't work like a dedicated set of winters,.. but are decent enough if you aren't driving like a moron.
If you have any questions about the Duratrac, fire me a PM.

 

If you can afford them the Michelin LTX M/S's wear like iron and will get you top mileage.....56k on the set surrounding my Ridgelines wheels and they have seen NH & Maine winters...Still plenty of miles left in them BUT since they summered in Florida the "Cracking" has started and will need replacement by spring

I just purchased General Grabber AT2's and would like them to perform as stated in reviews; I am out as the storms start and do "Snow wheel" ..


One tire I see left out of this list are the Nitto Terra Grapplers; they are quietly popular up here in New England and used on the FJ's to Tacomas with great results....they have the snow flake symbol and are available in most sizes within a couple of days instead of months...

I rave on these and would have owned a set if not for a great TW deal on these Generals.....

Last item, I TOTALLY agree with Driver habits HELPING in bad weather and airing down for SNOW helps ...My GeoTracs pulled me through the last 4 winters without a hic-up BUT did cut down on my "Fun time" wheeling....shoveling SUCKS !!!

 

of course, but they have done well in the snow as well ( with no studs)

Thanks for the input guys! These tires sound interesting. At this point I'm planning on pulling the trigger on some Goodyears tomorrow afternoon.

 

Duratracs!!!
