I went a bit cheaper and bought Cooper endeavor plus tires for my 19” wheels. I’m pleasantly surprised with how good they’ve been. They are very quiet, I haven’t noticed any change in range, and they performed well in the snow this past week in upstate NY while on a trip.
Hot take, but the TOYO ectensa tires have been great for me the past year I've had them on, granted we don't get much snow or freezing roads where I live. But for 600 out the door I have them a shot and the grip is great without wearing too quick
I've been riding Toyo Open Country AT3's on my taco for 4 years and they do great in the snow/ice.
Got some new Toyo Open Country.A/T 3s for the new truck. Way better look and seem to perform well in the snow and ice so far.
If you want something cheaper but still sticky, the Toyo R1R also comes in 205/45/16 and works great for spirited street driving.
The Toyo would be your best bet since the Bridgestone are being discontinued but if you find a set, they'll be a better price than the Toyo.
I have Toyo gsi-6 studless winter tires on my fwd car. It makes driving in snow fun. With predictable braking and handling.
I sized up and really liked that decision. I’m mid though on my cooper discoverer rugged trek. Good wear, lowish noise for a “m/t” (basically at), good not great on dirt, rain performance has been decent, breaking is good, but the snow performance has been just ok.
2019 F150 2wd on 2.5 level. 1st pic is 33inch tires and the second is 35/12.5/20 toyo mt’s. Not really digging this set up. $500 mistake.
