What tires should I go with?

Time to replace the stockers on my 2001 4Runner. Wondering what would be a good replacement tire for the upcoming ski season. Sometimes I am driving in 16" of snow. Want to keep the peacefullness of the 4runner. No crazy road noise.
thanks

Is this your first post? If so, welcome to the forum!

As far as tires, there are a lot of good choices out there. I currently have Bridgestone Dueler AT's in 265/70/16 and really like them alot. I have only had my truck since this summer, so I can't really say how they perform in the snow yet. I am really happy with their performance so far, on-road, off-road, dry and wet conditions, I like them alot. Toyo also makes a good AT tire, but I don't know the model name. Probably the most popular tire around here is the BFG All Terrain. Many forum members have them and swear by them.

That's my $.02. Good Luck!

I agree with Ryan,
I've run Bridgestone ATs and HTs and have had a cheap set of sidewinders (mich atx knock offs). I have a set of BFG AT KOs on now, they have a real aggessive tread very good wet and snow traction(tirerack) and are very quit for an AT tire(personal exp.) a friend put a set on his GMC truck and commented to me that they handled better and were quiter then his goodyear all season passenger tires. A guy at work has a set on his explorer with 60k on the tires and they look almost new. He drives 120 miles round trip to work all interstate at 65-70 MPH, he said weather(rain/sleet/snow) is not a factor with the BFG tires. Cost wise I paid $111.00 Mounted and balanced 31x10.5x15 on sale.
Goodluck
