2 that I can think of are Pro Comp all terrains and BFG all terrains. Both are rated as a "studless snow tire." However, with tires that wide and the light weight of these pickups, you still might have some slippage on hard packed snow. How deep and wet of snow are you expecting to encounter?

I just got GOOD YEAR DURATRAC'S in that size last week , right before a snow storm , they eat the snow like nothing. if this helps , i found out that PennDot uses them on their smaller trucks.

I just bought a set of the BFG A/T TA's-ish tires for the wife's 4runner....look fantastic....did alot of research and am very happy and confident with the purchase.

PS..5% discount in February....look for a thread started by JUNKERS88 listing the discount code

EDIT.....BOOOOOOOOO!!!!! that size is no longer available

Work fantastic and cheaper than BFG's

Came up an icy snow covered grade near Death valley (yes it snows there) where we had to pass by a stuck camper coming down the hill by driving up high on the bank above it just before this picture was taken:



Plowed through hood deep, untracked snow:



Or if you have some decent mud terrain tires, sipe the tread blocks to improve the snow/ice traction:

This is what I was stuck in. Close to 2 feet, with 4 foot drifts. Not normal for here, the most we are suppose to get around here is 8" to10" Thanks, Dean
