All weather tires, best ones....

Financing tires and rims for winter .. I want all weather tires & TRD rims. I am up in Canada. What are some decent tire treads i should be looking into? I am making the call tomorrow on lunch break. Preferably aggressive treads.. Dunlops any good????

 

There is no such thing as ALL weather tires...more like Summer or Winter...it's like going to a chinese restaurant that serves Pizza...you know it's gonna suck...

Good Winter tires for the money are Winterclaw or cooper discovery or General Altimax...

 

Falken Wildpeak AT3W are a year round/all season all-terrain. Mine have been great.

 

In Canada we can buy "all weather" & "all season" tires along with the regular, "winter" and "summer" tire. Confusing, probably lol ... I want the best of both worlds so to speak

 

If you don’t want studded snow tires and just want one set for the whole year, then perhaps consider BFG KO2’s, they are M+S and Mtn ❄️ rated, are great off-road and onroad mostly, but they don’t like ice much. Maybe consider 255/85/16’s- they have better traction on snow than wide tires (see the report quoted on post #14 here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tire-size-on-a-stock-suspension.516240/)

 

I live in Calgary, grew up in Quebec, always had a set of summers on aftermarket wheel and another set of studded tires on stock wheels..there is a reason it's the law in certain provinces to put winter tires on...even the best All weather or All season tire will still be worst than the cheapest Winter tire...it all comes down to your driving and how much you value your life...at the end the cost is the same...

 

Go with Duratrac's if you want the best performance on snow and ice. Coopers ST Maxx are good too.

 

Michelin LTX AT2

 

Studded for sure- I don’t mess with bare rubber on ice anymore, either!

 

Duratracs

 

Thanks for the info guys!

 

What about tires like the Nokian AW or Toyo Celcius? I see more and more coming out with all weather/variable condition types...granted, none available in a size that would be appropriate for our trucks.

 

May be okay for someone living near a place that has the occasional slushy snow fall but I would not drive with these here in Canada for 4-6 Months in up to -40 temperatures....

 

That's freaking nuts...

 

Duratracs are awesome all around tires. Rated well for snow too.

 

2nd this. Ran them on my 13 Tundra while in Montana for 3 years. Performed well.

 

Alot of people around here run duratracs as dedicated winter tires... I will be running my ko2s through the winter...

 

Duratracs are $300/tire CDN up here lol... Whats wrong with running some Kumho Road Venture AT51. $149/tire CDN at 265/70/17 and great reviews on Tirerack.com for winter use (its an all-weather tire).

 

thats absurd

how much are the Kbro2?

 

$278 for 265/70/17 for C-rated

I am in the exact same position as OP... trying to figure out what to do without going broke. I like the Grabber AT2 but only comes in white lettering which I am not a fan of.
