First Snow Storm in My new Tacoma

So you only bought four? I agree with you though. A good set set of tires can make all the difference.

 

I have yet to use my duratracs in the heavier/ powde snow yet. But in the dirt and mud they are beastly. Kinda disappointed of their performance in the wet/ rainy conditions of Washington weather.

 

That's what I did on my 2015, they took the Rugged Fails off before I took delivery and they credited full price of those towards the tires I bought.

 

Nahhhhh like another poster said. .. "prerunner problems!"

AND

Rugged Fails FTL!

 

yup i got a good set of snows on my sr5 and its a tank

 

Snow and ice is uncommon here. Rain/mud is about all I have to deal with routinely. Next set of tires I buy will be for these conditions. Running bad tires in the rain is just dumb as a post. It's beginning to look like if I keep these Ragged Fails much longer I might be dumb as a post. We'll see. I guess I could put the RFs on a trailer or something. I just don't know.

 

Going in a straight line, yes, but once you start twist and turning, up hills, and down hills, 2WD/RWD will blow. Even with chains, even with snow tires, and weight.

Enter the mountains, and it's a whole different story.
