I just put four Nokian WRG3 on my Tundra. Several trips planned for up north this winter. They are surprisingly inexpensive. I ordered them from

You should avoid all season tires and you should avoid all terrrain tires that get the mountain snowflake symbol solely by virtue of their tread void ratio. They might be OK in deep snow, but fall far short of the traction offered by genuine winter tires like the Nokian or Blizzak.
Ran Nokian WRG3 tires for 52,000 miles on a CRV. Many winter trips to Stowe VT in all conditions. Fabulous tires.
