I kid you not stay away from snow with these things. I have them on my 97' Dakota that is my purpose built wheelin truck. I love the tires in rocks and on the trail I air down to about 8-9psi and dont have to worry about sticks or stumps. However it never fails I struggle in the snow.
As for on road, they are loud but acceptable for me. Turning isnt the greatest but its not a nascar tire its a super swamper! My overall rating of this tire would be a near perfect if I could get some snow performance out of them. Otherwise ill give them a total score of an 8.

There is nothing negative I can say about these tires. This is my 2nd set, first set was 35/12.5/15 on K1500. They worked GREAT on almost everything, but I dont do any heavy mudding. Mostly trips to either the snow (snow skiing/boarding) or trips to the dunes (quading / camping). My current set is on a K2500HD Duramax towing over 15k. The only suitable size I could find was the typical 35/12.5/16 (315/75R16). These tires have worked great and last longer than any other 4x4 tire I have owned, including the popular BFG AT. And these Toyo's outperformed all other MT tires I have owned hands down. Both on the street, and off-road in the wet/snow/icy climates and in the very soft Sand. BUT, my newer tires did not work as well in the sand as my older 35/13.50's, due to increased stiffness of the sidewall and narrower design. All in all, I would be EXTREMELY elated if Toyo were to build this tire in a 35/14.5/R16 size (365/65R16) but alas they do not, and the company has no plans for releasing this size tire in the M/T as of yet, SO, I have to shop for another tire, hence the reason I have been reading these reviews and might end up buying some Nitto's instead (aarg). I have run everything from Desert Duellers, to BFG AT & MT, Pro comp MT, Dick Cepek MT (older style), even some older Winston Fun & Muds, and NONE of them come close to the overall performance of these Toyo's. Dang, why cant they make them a bit wider....aarg...

These tires are on a 85 Chevy plow truck and they work great in deep snow, really deep slush and even well in moderate mud. I've driven through over 2 feet of snow on the road with these tires and through over a 1ft of slush without a problem at all. But, the tread on these tires are as hard as a rock and they give you hardly and ice traction what so ever. The side lugs are too agressive causing for the truck in 4 wheel to want to dig into the shoulder of the road when you are out on nonseasonal roads during the winter. I have read that in lighter load and wider sizes that this tire actually performs pretty well. Just I know that I will be buying some different snow tires in the next few years. Michigan.

These are much better than the Pro Comp Exterrains that I had on my 8" lifted ZR2 before!
They are more highway-friendly, & do better off-road, too!
I recommend them for their performance & looks, but feel that they could be priced lower to compete better with other tires in their class.
BTW- they WILL gum-up & become slicks, if you put them in deep silted mud. But, Boggers aren't highway friendly! Alas!

My company put these on our work vehicles (canyons in Utah mountains). They will dig themselves out of loose and packed snow (great, actually) but less than adequate on slippery roads where realistically I spend most of my time. Weigh where you need the traction most before assuming these are what you need if winter driving is your primary road condition. I would prefer a general AT/S over these based on the fact that most of my need involves slippery roads with the occasional need for off-road traction when pulling off the road into snow and some mud. This review is based on my personal driving; if yours involves more digging off-road, they may be the tire for you.

I also had a balancing problem with these tires, I bought because they were different but they needed balancing three times in the first week and they still make everything on my center councle bounce around to the point that i cant carry spare change in the truck. The wear of the tire is great but they dont bite they slide every where on packed snow. They seemed to get noiseer as the tread wears

I was totally disappointed in these tires. After everything I read I thought they'd be great - they sucked in the mud, were loud on the street, wore quickly, and got very poor traction on wet pavement. I've used much better tires at much cheaper prices.
