If you plan on driving in snow and ice, the M55 Open Countrys are HORRIBLE tires. They don't wear well. I owned them on my F150 and got rid of them. They are too hard of a tire unless you like wasting a lot of money on hype or very expensive name brands...

Arent you in Arizona, what do you know about snow and ice? :chuckle:

Funny how folks have complete opposite opinions.   Ive staked my life many times on these tires and I wont hesitate to do so in the future.  From Methow Winters to Colville Reservation roads and North Idaho roads, and now to the Yakima Basalt and routine trips on the firing center which often eats tires like candy. I commute 50 miles everyday now in the ice belt. Toss in a roadtrip to Utah, Eastern ORegon or Montana, WTH.  I drive in some serious crap. lol    It must just be my driving skills.  :)



I am, but I didn't drive on plowed, sanded roads with salt on them... :chuckle: Still wouldn't own a one of them. :tup:
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Spent a few winters building 20+ cell towers all over Montana in the mountains. M55s never missed a beat and wouldn’t trade them for anything else besides chains. My  :twocents:

Another vote for Falken AT3w.
My LT falkens ride smooth and quiet, grip is fantastic, no signs of chunking on Basalt.
They balance with very little weight.
Recent reviews on BFG ATs scares me away from those.
Only downside is they’re heavy.
If you frequent the Toyota forums, you’ll see most threads talk about how a tire looks.
Buy for function.
Great pricing at Tire Rack.
