Unless they have updated those Wranglers I wouldn’t be interested. That’s what came on my Tacoma and after several pucker moments I swapped them out the first winter. From my experience the tread would easily get packed with snow and cause them to lose traction frequently.

To be fair, Goodyear has been selling that Wrangler brand for a long time, so I have no idea if these are are the exact same. They were the kevlar Wranglers that came on the 2017 TRD Pro Tacomas.

They look like Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT tires in the 275/60R20 size.

Concur on the Wranglers, not a great winter tire and I also had multiple issues with punctures that I have not had with other tires. Swapped to BFG's and never looked back.

Soon they will have Kuhmos and Douglas tires. Need to up the margins for investors.

Goodyear Wranglers are the Natty Light of AT tires.

Agree. Years ago I ran them on my Suburban. Terrible in snow, and after about 15k mile wet traction went to crap. I switched to Michelin ATs and that’s all I have run ever since.

Can’t go wrong with most Michelins. I went with the Toyo Open Country AT3 and have been very happy with them.

Most of the time Snow means "snow road 50 people packed down before you". Aside from snow tires, a good all season / all weather siped tires is best (without using a snow tire). AT's are ok, MT's are terrible.

The only time a AT/MT tire wins is "fresh" snow that hasn't been packed solid.
