    Might be a dangerous question - I know there are lots of opinions out there. Wrecked a rear tire on my 2015 and decided to replace all four need 225 70R17 tires.

    Need something that’s good for highway driving with some gravel roads thrown in. Live in the snow zone so something good in bad weather is important.

    What do you suggest?

    I run general grabber atx, they would fit your needs nicely imo. Not really here to debate tires, mostly curious as to why you chose that particular size.

    The original tire size for a TRD Sport is 265/65-17. Did you really want to go with a different size? You can go with a different size, but you want to do that carefully.

    Michelin Defender ltx m/s is what i went with. I live in New England and deal with a variety of snow and wet weather. they have great traction in the wet. the tire compound is something Michelin came out with about two years ago. that's fairly recent in a developmental timescale.

    It truly is THE tire for trucks that aren’t fashion statements. It’s a no-nonsense on and light off road tire that has a very utilitarian look.

    There is a reason that they are so ubiquitous on trucks that actually get used as trucks and not #insta models.

    Normally I’m a fan of walked wildpeak but they might be a little too aggressive for what you described. Another good option is hankook dynapro atm. It’s still an AT tire but the tread is a bit less aggressive. They have really good tread life too. I think they came out with a new version of the tire but I haven’t seen it in person.
