snowflake rated tires with raised white letters?

I'm down to the end of the wear marks on my stock tires and will be back in CO for the winter, so I'm looking for some new tires. I've run Blizzaks in past winters, but they burn up on dry pavement, so unless you're changing your wheels out when it's dry, they end up only lasting a season and are therefore very expensive.

Wanting snowflake rated A/T tires. the Falkens look good, but I prefer raised white letters. Not seeing many out there. Anyone know of some good snowflake rated A/T tires with raised white letters?

The Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S is snowflaked with outlined white letters (not solid white).

I had those. Didn't like how they drove and got a couple flats pretty early on.

I endorse this message (albeit on a Jeep).

compared to snow tires, no, none of the A/T tires will be

for a A/T tire they're good

One of our rescue trucks on new-ish KO2s had to be sidelined on Sunday due to uncontrolled spins and fishtailing in the snow. The others on Duratracs were fine.

Another choice, white outline, not solid white. May be my next set.

I'm on my 2nd set of KO2s and I do not like the grip on packed snow. They just don't grip at all. Same can be said for Duratrac's when the initial sipes wear down around 25k miles. I'm looking into new tires. Maybe the Falken Wildpeak AT3 or the Toyo Open Country AT3.

Check out the Toyo website. You can get these tires in OWL. Just noticed that today.
