New Tires; any suggestions?
Need to get new tires for my 1989 Toyota pick up truck 4x4 V6.
I have had Goodyear All Terrain tires on there for a little more than a decade but pretty sure I can do better. They have always skid in the rain.
I want to feel more glued to the ground.
Open to any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

I never expected the Goodyear tires to skid as much as they did in the rain.
Thanks

You can look into getting a set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's, unless that's what you currently have. The treads have lots of siping for improved grip on low-traction terrain like wet roads, snow, and ice. There are many positive reviews on the Duratrac's to back this up.
With their relatively large tread blocks, the Duratrac's are on the more aggressive side of all-terrain tires, being more like a half-mud, half-all-terrain tire except they're designed to last longer on the road than full-fledged mud tires.
I run a set of Duratrac's on my '86 Hilux/Pickup 4x4. They're still new with only a few hundred miles on them, but they've been fantastic for me both on and off the road; they handled mud better than I expected on my last wheeling trip. I haven't gotten a chance to try the tires in the rain yet though, let alone snow or ice (I live in north Texas, so snowy/icy roads are rare here). They ride smoothly but are a bit noisier on the road than other all-terrain tires.
