Tires Toyo or Barum
I went with a set of 5 Toyo Open Country AT3 in 265/75/16 which have better snow performance were much cheaper at $185/tire.
Hot take, but the TOYO ectensa tires have been great for me the past year I've had them on, granted we don't get much snow or freezing roads where I live. But for 600 out the door I have them a shot and the grip is great without wearing too quick
I've been riding Toyo Open Country AT3's on my taco for 4 years and they do great in the snow/ice.
Got some new Toyo Open Country.A/T 3s for the new truck. Way better look and seem to perform well in the snow and ice so far.
If you want something cheaper but still sticky, the Toyo R1R also comes in 205/45/16 and works great for spirited street driving.
The Toyo would be your best bet since the Bridgestone are being discontinued but if you find a set, they'll be a better price than the Toyo.
If I'm reading this date code correctly, these Toyos are approaching 6 years old. This makes sense as they are pretty noisy, could stand to be grippier and the rubber just does not feel very pliable. So I need to ditch these for some new all-seasons.
I like the Toyo T1R , but damn it's an oooold design now...toyo really need to update it.
Toyos kinda suck, especially after some wear.
With stock Toyo tires = shit.
