Tire Recommendations! I'm lost

Hey I have a 1990 Ext. Cab Pickup with the stock 15" yota rims and I'm lookin for some new tires. Most of my driving on the highway (depressing) but I want some that will do well on some moderate trails and offroading and in the snow.
Thanks

Do what I do some times have 2 sets of wheels .When I had a long commute via Interstate I ran a strictly highway tread about 9 months out of the year.

Come snow season I ran a good Snow tread just to get out of my driveway (Glacier)

That might work for you for sure it helped me out.

well its up to you really...

i really like they handcook AT-M tires ever since my friend got these and they are a high mileage low road noise tire that preforms better than any all terrain tire ive seen.
handcook AT-M 31x10.5 for $145.

people have had these tires for years and will say there the only AT tires you should get there a good value and have been tried and tested over and over again.
bfg AT 31x10.5 $137.

I have no idea what the stock size is (I never really took the time to look) but if it's a 235/75/15 then take a look at Treadwright tires. Yes I do tell lots of folks about them but I really like the product. Take a look at the ATG in that size or the Crawler M/T (although I think the Crawler may be more than you want as far as tread goes). The ATG looks good, has had good reviews, is only 61$ a per tire and I know for a fact that Treadwright tires wear like iron.

For something a little larger the 30/9.50/15 Puma looks pretty good, in fact I'd probably go with the Puma if it was me.
