Tires Hankook or Firestone

I have Winterforce UV2 tires for my SUV and they are great. Been through some crazy snow in them without issue.

I’m a fan of hankook dynapro. Quiet on the highway, but has enough tread to function in the mud.

Another set of tires I would recommend that is almost never mentioned is Firestone Destination A/Ts. It has always been my go to truck tire. Although I haven't put them on my Tacoma yet, they did great on our '01 Sierra, '05 Ranger, and my uncle's '16 Silverado.

Nexen, riken (made by Michelins), Hankook are all budget friendly made by good brands.

I have Firestone Destination LE2s, and I haven't had much trouble driving in the snow with them. To be fair I haven't ever had snow tires, so I don't have much to compare to. If you have experience driving in the snow already, and drive slow you should be fine.

I previously had the OEM, Pirelli Scorpion tires which I liked. The Firestone Destination LE3 tires seems to be equivalent to them..

The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 is an all-weather tire with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Not only that, but it is an exceptionally good tire, with not only excellent snow and ice traction, but excellent dry and wet too.

There are Hankook RS4s, and then there are all other tires that cost more, need to be replaced more often, and are slightly faster. Best bang for the buck tire, I'm on my fifth set.

I've had quiet winter tires, to winter tires that roared (Firestone Winterforce)

I worked for Firestone installing tires for a while, and those tires are pretty bad. I guess all budget tires are probably the same, but I wouldn't want those on my car. The number of recalls that went out on those was crazy, almost weekly. They also wear pretty damn fast, and don't grip for shit.
