Hybrid off road and snow tire

[LandCruiser]

Any of the legit off road tires perform decently enough in snow and ice that I don't have to swap out for Blizzaks in the winter? Plus aforementioned Blizzaks are almost bald, so I'm looking for a change.

I drive in the mountains and on roads where chains are strongly recommended with great success with Blizzaks.

My local 'yota dealer suggested Duratracs, but they don't seem to look like they can cut it.

Honestly I find the duratracs to be great because if conditions are that bad for driving I’m just sitting in traffic anyway.

Duratracs are FANTASTIC snow tires, and great off road. Ran several sets for about 250k miles on my work truck in ND, CO and WY winter roads

Cooper ATW. But you'll have to mail order if you don't live in the northern states. Think only Canada and some northern USA states have them at tire shops.

I love my BFG KO2's. I just put another set on my '16. I had the Duratrac's. They are great new, and are overall great in deep snow. However, on packed snow, especially after about 22,000 miles and all the sipes wear off, they are horrible. I strongly recommend the KO2's. They are Severe Service Rated as well, just like the Duratrac's

I had the KOs, they sucked on ice and hills, looks like they improved on the KO2s?

All tires are going to suck on ice unless you have dedicated snow tires and/or studs. But yes, they are a huge improvement over the original KO's

General Grabber AT2 have the mountain snow flake symbol designating them as a winter tire. I have them on my truck but no real snow this year so I don't have any winter driving feedback with them yet.

+1 for duratracs in snow. Haven't seen much ice fwiw. I grew up in the mountains and avoid those conditions on trips if possible. Rain traction has been pretty good as well. Only downside I've experienced is balancing.

+1 for the Duratracs

Yesterday night I was driving through snow storm from Aspen to Colorado Springs (took I-70 to RT 24 through Buena Vista). I have Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Not even one slip/slide, felt very secure/stable.

Yokohama G105. Have it on my AWD car and have had no real issue will all kinds of Tahoe snow.

The Cooper ATW looks good as well, I might try it our next.

Moving this to the Wheels and Tires section so more people can see it.

+1 for the Cooper AT/W's... I've been really happy with mine so far. 30k+ miles and still have really good snow grip... and they've worn evenly and stayed balanced so far.
