I use studded cooper m&s snow tires on my gmc 2500 to plow. They work great. I’ve had them in 30+ inches of snow and had no issues.

 

I don't know how good they are but they are 200.00 cheaper than some of the other brands and I will only run them in the winter. I just ordered from Walmart.com 4 Travelstar ecopath A/T all terrain 10 ply LT24575R17 for my F-250. They were 439.72 , I hope I like them when they come in because I'm tired of spending over 800.00 every time I need tires and I have 2 trucks.

 

treadwright AT or MT with kedge grip.

 

Falken Wildpeak At3W. They have the 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. For my tire size, they are $153 ea at Walmart

 

Got the falken wildpeak at3's last yr and no complaints thus far, mud or snow. I get off road a bit with my job and they pulled me outta a mudhole i drove into in a field before i realized i did it, and did it just nicely without even spinning. The little road snow i got to drive them in they worked great. Wear and road handling and noise seem real good so far. A bit cheaper than the coopers and bridgestones i looked at.

My company delivers the containers to Falken's NJ Distribution Center and I can get them at employee prices. My first set was an HT LT rated for 60K miles and were gone at 75K...

My current set of AT3W started out om my 2005 and I managed to keep them [extra set of wheels] and transferred them to my 2011 after wearing out the tires that were on it.. They have over 35K and still have enough tread for most of the winter...

 

I wont buy Firestone tires. years ago we had issues with short life of that brand of tire.
maybe it has changed for the better but I will not take that chance.

 

I use General Grabber Arctics, the
pMetric size 245/75/16's on my Tacoma.

 

I’m also a big fan of studded tires. I have an extra set of rims for the Sonata, Forester and the Chevy 2500, and run studded Coopers on all three.

Last year in deer season, the state forest roads in the Sproul got 4-6 inches of snow, and the traffic running on them iced up everything. There were several 4WD trucks slid off and stuck....I never spun a tire with the studs on the Forester.

 

Cooper Discoverer AT 3 for me on my Avalanche, very good mileage and a good ride. As far as studded tires, I have not bothered with them for decades, I run the AT 3 Coopers all year long, no changing tires in the winter and spring for me.

I had Cooper AT3 on both my Wrangler and 3/4 ton truck. I found them to be terrible in the snow, terrible mileage life and worse than awful in the mud. When I went to get them off the truck I told the salesman to not try and sell me the AT3s. She told me they quit selling them.

 

Hankook Winter I pikes have been great to us.

I have run these tires for several years now. First set was on a Patriot and they lasted the 6 years we owned it. Never had issues or got stuck. Put a set on my Highlander when I bought it last year and again have had no issues. My commute is through several snow belts in PA and NY and I have not had any issues.

 

I bought a set of Pirelli All Terrain Plus that are snow rated.Just got them this summer so can’t say how they handle snow but look great.
Slightly more aggressive tread and sidewalks than the At3’s but still smooth on road. The thing i didn’t like the previous version of the coopers was than once the tires got down to 4/32 or so they got real slick even just damp roads. Not sure if the version is better.

Blizzak give amazing traction due to a soft rubber compound. They don't have the life of some others but the traction is woth a bit less life.
