I highly recommend Bridgestone Blizzaks. I put those on my stock steelies and bought a nicer set of aftermarket wheels with all season tires for Spring through Fall.
I cannot recommend the Cooper Discoverer AT3s enough.
I have a set that has just over 70k on them (will be replacing within a month or so), and I have put them through everything.
I have driven back and forth across the country multiple times and gone rock crawling in Moab and Death Valley (among several other places).
They have always performed well in all weather conditions and have negligible road noise.
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro
Built like a MT, rated like an AT. Good in all conditions.
When we bought our Limited, the dealer put the AT3 sports on it. They did just fine in rain and snow, a few trips from NM to CA and forest service roads in CO. We got about 60k out of them. I have the defenders on the vehicle now and am happy with them as well.
I got theCooper AT3’s for my 2012 4runner and loved them, drove more than 50k (and counting). They give a deep tread and were a game changer (vs Dunlops) especially in any rain or snow. All it took was one sleet/snow to feel the difference. I’ve also driven cross country four times with the Coopers and never noticed any issues with noise or mpg.
We got Bridgestone Weatherpeaks instead. Not a full snow tire like the Blizzaks, but good snow performance for an all seasons set of tires.
I am a big fan of the EnduraMax tire, it's on my Tucson AWD in North Dakota which gets wild climate swings throughout the year and brutal winter conditions, and has performed very well... I like it better than the Firestones WeatherGrips (had on my pickup, was OK but very noisy, switched to Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 and have been very pleased) or the Goodyear Weatherguard which in my opinion is a decent All-weather tire but hardly worth the GoodYear brand premium price.
Just get Blizzaks, by far the best bang for your buck winter tire, they will need to be swapped for your regular tires every year, but they are awesome in anything this state will throw at you. I have used them for years through several iterations on multiple vehicles.
They replaced it with a Bridgestone SureDrive Touring.
Starfire tires are a budget brand of tire made by Cooper. They're typically using Cooper's older, less advanced rubber compounds, some of which are absolutely terrifying in wet conditions and tend to be OK to good in the dry. They typically have a short tread life.
