Nokian does make a kick-ass snow tire though called the Hako-somethingorother.

Ok, same opinion exactly (as written above), its good to know that tires can be better, cause they're the only tires I've used on the 4Runner. I just wasn't impressed with them in the snow- thought the tire width was the factor though (31x10.5 R15)/ Wish you could buy a 32x9.5 from the big name brands.
