    I live in Ontario Canada.

    We get steady snow usually from end of November to the end of April..

    Your absolutely right though.. There is nothing like a dedicated snow tire....

    These are the ones from last year, I used them about 2 months... We had a crappy winter last year

    These tires are awsome, I only had 2wd on the Sierra and they worked excellent..

    I ran the Bridgestone Blizzaks last year and was quite impressed. I had them mounted on a set of Toyota steelies on my 2016 TRD Offroad. I went with the narrower 245/75/16 size on mine. We get quite a mix of snow/freezing rain through our winters here but can get significant snowfall as well. Once in 4WD with the Blizzaks on she seemed unstoppable in deeper snow.

    Hey fellas!

    I'm a new member here. Got myself a 2017 dblcb sport. My first truck in life.

    I just today put on a set of Bridgestone Blizzak DM V2. I also opted for a 245/75 tire on a set of 2007 Tacoma 16" rims. Got em used with TPMS (that does work for 3rd gen in case peeps want to know!!!) for very little $$$. To clarify on the TPMS...I am running the factory TPMS units from 2007 with a 3rd Gen truck and there is NO issue. Pretty cool and saved me some bucks. Cheers to Toyota for having tech that works and for not changing it a decade later.

    I will put up some pics soon. My 3rd gen looks funny with the old rims. Will see how the tire holds up. I live in BC,Canada and the winters have been brutal the last couple years.

    Cheers
