I was wondering if anyone has experience driving the TRD Pro stock tires (Good Year Kevlar reinforced M + S 265/70R16) in snow and if they are good enough. I am considering buying a separate set of snow tires if need be. I don't plan on modding tires or lifting the truck so this size is pretty much what I'm sticking with.
I live in Portland, OR so we don't get a ton of snow in the city but for sure we get ice here and there and I would like to occasionally go up to the mountain where there could be a ton of snow. Fortunately we have another mountain snow capable SUV I can take up onto the mountain so I don't absolutely need to take my Taco. The most important need would be getting by in the city in inclement weather. Can I just get by with the stock tires by dumping some sand bags in the back and throwing it in 4WD when needed? What are your thoughts?
