LOVE Duratracs in New England. Fantastic all around tire, but know what you're getting into. By that I mean it's an aggressive tread, so it's going to make noise and it will have increased rolling resistance compared to a highway terrain.
I have the Duratrac tires on my work trucks, which are not tacomas. They do well in the mud and snow. They get really loud on the road though, in my opinion.
I got her **\*\*Goodyear Winter Commander Studded Tires\*\***. Now I still cringe and cry and ask to get off the ride. And there are finger print marks in the dash from my death grip. But that being said, even in the crazy conditions we have had, come ice or snow or other Winnipeg Drivers, she has yet to find a situation where the tires break loose under hard breaking.

I've never regretted buying the best tires I can afford. Often Michelin and Goodyear, but sometimes others too.
Michelin X-Ice if you can afford them, otherwise I swear by the Goodyear Nordics as the best affordable option and even what I prefer myself over the X-Ice.
I had Duratracs on my Tacomas when I lived in the Denver area. They were reliable on and off road and handled well in all conditions. They were a little noisy when they wore down, but what 33's arent'?
I've had a 2019 Tiguan S as a dealer loaner for six days and counting, while my 2017 Tiguan SEL is being worked on. Giti brand tires (wtf) aren't too noisy.
I also have now learned that GITI does have an y factory warrantly with their tires..they dont stand behind them. Now I now its not THEIR fault or fault of dealer but my wifes 2018 passat new to use 4500 miles ago had a belt let go in a brand new less that 4500 miles and has a bulge dealer say giti has no warrantly of any kind so its all out dime. I will definately change these out when they wear out.
My experience with Goodyear is that they are trash.
