Plus 2 on the Toyo's from Les Schwab.
I run the Toyo M/T on my Tacoma and the Wife's 4-Runner. Talked to a guy who had over 50,000 miles on his Toyo's and they still had lots of life in them.

Be sure to have 2 sets of rims for your switch-season tires. Those one-rim-set changeovers wreck tires faster than the road.

Mastercraft is a tire line made by Cooper. I had a set of Avengers on my wife's 4WD Honda CR-V. Got about 60,000 miles out of them and the only complaint was they were a little noisy.

Bridgestone Duellers in the summer and studded Hankook iPike RW11's in the winter on my 97 F250HD.
Wife runs the Blizzaks on her RX350 in the winter and she loves how they handle in the snow and ice.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

We run blizzaks year round. Yes, they wear out quicker but in the long run it's cheaper than a spare set of wheels/tires.
I'd highly advise against Hancooks. We've had two pairs that suffered bulged sidewalls. Put over 120k on several sets of Blizzaks and never a sidewall problem.

You won't be disappointed with the traction, ride & wear

Yokohama Geolanders. Great tires without the huge price tag. Ratings and reviews are very favorable and my truck and my son's truck have worn them for several years with great results. I think he has 40K on his now and they started showing wear at about 30K. I'm pretty sure he has another 15-20K left on them. Great in snow, ice, and mud if you get the off-road traction models. Mine are the highway tread and they are about due to be replaced in the next few weeks (before elk season) and will be replaced with the Geolander Traction model. Mine have been fine on highway, snow, okay on ice and mud. A set of LT245-75-16's runs about $600 at Tire Rack or America's Tire plus mounting (add shipping if you go through Tire Rack).
