I currently have Toyo Open Country MTs on my pick-up during the summer. While hauling hay they are the least squirmy tire I have tried. One strong tire. They have good steering response and surprisingly I did not see a reduction in fuel mileage as compared to the ATs I had before. That's the good.
The bad. They are terrible on light snow and ice. I don't know about deep snow since I want to live to see it. I have dedicated snow tires that I put on for winter. Kelly Safari TSRs. I am not hauling heavy loads then so don't know how the snow tires would handle heavy loads. Maybe if I had the Toyos siped they would be better.
Right now my favorite winter tire is the Firsestone Destination MT that I had siped. This is on a half ton suburban. The only time I have been stuck with these is when I got high centered in a snow drift. I don't know how well they will do hauling however.
