Care to cite reasons why this would be the case? AFAIK they are not even "severe duty" snowflake rated and do not have a tread compound that is conducive to snow use.
To the OP, this has been covered many times, do a search and you will see that there are many opinions (including the one above) about the best tire for snow. I would personally look for an AT tire with a snowflake rating such as the Goodyear Silent Armor, Wrangler Duratrac, etc. The snowflake doesn't make you invincible, but it is a place to start when selecting.
You could always go with a set of dedicated snow tires like the Blizzaks for winter and have a different set for summer too, but that may be pricy.

BFG--Oh yeah
I second that motion, fourwd! BFG's are great tires--love their Mud T/A's for the more serious stuff, too. Wear well, not too noisy, great traction. :frog:

Ill agree with this one too. Not sure about your specific truck, but I absolutely loved them when I had a set.
Also a huge fan of the Cooper Discovery tires. Hooked up great all winter, hardly needed 4wd.

depending on how aggressive looking a tire you like/want, (guessing not real aggressive ) i suggest revo2's, http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/101107-ultimate-snowy-performance-test.html or firestone destination at http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/85751-firestone-dest-update.html or GYSA http://www.toyota-4runner.org/perfo...just-ordered-gy-wrangler-silent-armors-3.html

If you want a true all season tire I would suggest Michelin LTX MS2s. I put them on my 4Runner this year and they have been great. We haven't gotten too much snow here in WI yet this year so I can't give a great snow review but they have been exceptional on the roads for me.
If you want an all terrain tire, I would suggest the same as when 4Beast had to say. Look for tires with the snowflake symbol, e.g. GY Silent Armor, GY Duratec, Kumho SAT KL61, etc...

If, by chance, you're interested in something a little more accurate than an owner enthusiasm index, you could consult the Consumer Reports test track results. Good way ensure a nice bang for the buck, too.
Some top scorers:
A/T:
Kuhmo Road Venture KL78
Nexian Roadian ATll
All Season:
Continental CrossContact LX20
Nokian WR G2 Sport Utility

People choose tires for many reasons. This poster, however, specifically alluded to snow and ice traction which are measurable properties. As it turns out, somebody made the measurements.

Lots of variables, yes, and real world performance can diverge, but which do you think is more likely to correlate to real winter performance : A tire that performs well on test track snow and ice, or one that receives the highest number of "awesome" votes on facebook.
A large, random sample of tire owners might be able to tap into the wisdom of crowds, but nothing like that exists.
