    I have General Grabber AT2s on my Sequoia. Good snow traction, but terrible wear. I have maybe 25k on them and they'll make it through the winter but not much more. Thinking of going with the Michelin Defender LTX m/s next go round.

    Cooper AT3, less winter oriented but likely pretty good
    Cooper ATP, ??? How do these compare?
    Cooper WSC, has anyone used these? Less of an AT design but studdable and winter design

    Thoughts? Will likely go with the Falken.
    I've been content with my cooper at3s in winter driving so far. The ATP are similar but a hair more aggressive. Pretty sure they are discount tire only. Hopefully falken did full depth siping on the at3ws. The old wild peaks effectively became slicks at 1/2 tread.

    They apparently did full depth siping on the at3w

    Really? I hear them all the time. Family members and friends run them often.

    I have 12k on the Cooper ATWs we put on our 4Runner just before Thanksgiving last year. Best AT tire in the snow I've used and the quietest on road. Others were BFGs and General Grabber AT2s. The difference is most noticeable on packed stuff.

    What size did you put on your 4runner?

    265/70/17. Non-Limited 5th Gens come with 17" wheels. Limiteds have 20s, which I would have ditched immediately if we went that route.

    Got it, mine is a 4th Gen limited with 18's.

    Went with the Cooper WSC which is a true winter tire, vs AT all season.

    Will report back.

    White letters out look good for about 10-15k miles IME before they start to get shitty. If you have a really clean truck and will not be in any situations where the sidewalls may get scuffed or damaged it could work I suppose.


    Between the tires and new wheel bearing it's too damn quiet in my ride now, can hear every squeak and rattle in the interior.

    Great timing on this thread for me also. Bought a used Xterra in the spring with new Firestone Destination M/Ts. The tires look cool, but haven't had them in any gnarly winter conditions yet and I'm thinking they're going to be a real liability as soon as shit gets packed down... Thanks for the discussion! Time to reallocate some ski funding.

    Funny how I was convinced one way, then started really looking at pics. Maybe white letters are old school...

    I guess It'll be like ordering at a restaurant sometimes, I won't know until the words come out of my mouth at the time

    Truck Tire Time



    Getting dark as I'm leaving the shop, but the tundra looks tough! Looks like a different truck. Thanks for the advice

    Bought a set of Nokian Rotiiva at tires for my 4th generation 4Runner this week. Two trips to hood in all conditions and so far very impressed. They're quiet and smooth on dry pavement, and much better than the half worn studded toyos I ran the last few years. They're also surprisingly inexpensive compared to other brands. $600 mounted and balanced. 265/70/17

    New Wild Peak A/T3W's on the LC. Quieter than expected on road coming from an A/T 'light" tire.

    If you can deal with the noise, you're really going to like them in the snow. They are very good.

    30 day return policy. Can always get something different if I don't like them.

    The DT guy side they will get quieter after ~1k miles. Not sure I buy into that. But I didn't find them noisy either.

    So other than the OP I didn't see much talk of the Yokahoma Geolander A/T. It's the second best rated tire on tirerack.com and gets great reviews for snow: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey....jsp?type=ORAT

    Any personal experience?

    For a mud tire in snow and ice, I've had the best luck with Cooper STTs siped. I've had them on multiple vehicles. My experience with AT tires is Cooper AT3>Toyo>BFG ATs on mud, snow, ice whatever. I will say I've gotten the most wear out of the BFGs but I'd rather have better traction than buy tires less frequently. Whites in unless it's a cool older truck.
