: Toyo Open Country M/T in the snow?

So its time to get some new tires, I love the look of the Toyo M/T's and was wondering how they perform in the snow. I'm not going to be going a lot of snow driving, just a few trips to Tahoe over the next few months, are they good enough for the snow? Thanks, Daniel

Sure thing. I went through some pretty thick stuff last winter with mine. I did get "almost" stuck once, but the snow was almost up to my doors when I opened them to check. With my 6" lift and 37's, that was alot of snow!! :D

I pulled a ton of people out, and had good luck going everywhere. I'll buy them again if they hold up mileage wise.

yeah, i love the tread pattern, they look sick. The reason I ask, I will be going to tahoe and when it snows they require chains or 4wd/snow tires. They arent considered snow tires are they?

all mud tires are usually good in the snow its the the ice you have to worry about. mud tires often lack surface area and sipes in the tread which give you traction on the slick stuff.

Toyos have some siping.Not like an A/T,but some.most mud tires have none.

Do the M/T's have a M&S rating on the sidewall?
