    Any see the Bills Game? I live a half mile away. 15" snow 2 days ago and 17" during the game. 8-12 tonight tomorrow.Storm? this weekend too. Wife MDX needed a pull. All season Grabber. Mine 08 tacoma graber at2. NO problem pull like no snow. But they don't stay round and are LOUD,vibration,highway.So I have a limited 18 coming. Mostly highway driving 95%. Stick with the stock? Upgrade? Like the fact that the truck can be counted on to go no matter the snow depth.Had KO2 at one time. Really lousy highway but not quite as bad as the at2.
    Thanks, Bruce

    Michelin LTX AT2. Not gonna be quite as good in the snow as the more aggressive ATs but it'll be much better on the highway.

    Agreed, I ran these in both VA during their ice winters and in Colorado in the dry powder. Handled both environments exceptionally well and have good highway manners.

    I run Blizzak DM-V2 dedicated snow tires in the winter. They’d be great at what you’re looking for.

    2nd. Swapping to snows in the winter (especially living in buffalo... that's like 6 months a year) is your best bet.

    Living in Lancaster, NY the best tires you can buy for the snow are the ones you can afford. Don't go to aggressive .
    On a side note...the best possible, most AWESOME thing that happened this weekend in the NFL is that the Patriots lost !
    BILLS MAFIA.......
