    I had a ford focus, front wheel drive. I just had the two blizzaks on the front. I never even came close to getting stuck in snow/ice with those things. They were awesome:D

    Years ago when we only put snows on the drive wheels of cars and trucks, I only put snows on the fronts of our SAAB. It was awsome going in snow.....but during one storm while driving down a hill, a car looked like it was pulling out of the drive in front of me. I hit the brakes pretty hard and started spinning like a top. After the spinning stopped I found myself point back up hill. I care fully drove back to the tire dealer and had two put on the back. When I just had them on the rear of my truck, it was amazing how much braking and turning I missed when I finally smartened up. I am glad that everyone puts them on all four wheels now.

    I have Yokohama G072s for a dedicated winter set. Very happy with them, and they were not expensive at all.

    My summers are Hankook Dynapro ATMs and have the mountain/snowflake symbol but I doubt they would even compare to any dedicated snow tire.

    I have had several sets of AT tires that were ever bit as good in snow as snow tires...good mud tires make good deep snow tires. But, like you, I still changed to dedicated winter tires because of hard pack and icing conditons after a snow fall or two once the frost set in and everything was frozen underneath.

    You must have low miles to still have those!

    My '11 has just under 90k and I just put its 3rd set of tires on!

    I am shocked :humble:....the OEM Rugged trails on my 2015 Taco are just an all season tire for me. I commend you on your driving expertise. The tread depth is the same as all seasons and for me they perform no better in winter. I change over to Altimax when the real snow begins. I don't even think they are a real AT tire.

    OP, I see you're from Quebec,

    I ordered Hankook Ipike RW11 with studs from a store in Quebec. Best prices and their shipping was only $25 to Calgary. https://pmctire.com/en/

    Arrived in a week. I have Altimax studded tires on our van. Can't wait to throw these bad boys on the Tundra.

    doesn't help with braking, which is one of the main reasons for snows.

    I have michelin x Ice3 on my car, they work great. Not sure if they make them for trucks too though.

    and damn you got a decent amount of snow already for October.
