Great on road tire but, if he got stuck with the Toyo at2 (an all terrain tire), he will be stuck while using the Michelin LTX M/S (not a true all terrain, mostly a street use tire).
I know you say you dont like the Toyo's but, look at their AT3 offering. I put close to 55,000 on my Tacoma since 2020, with their at3, no complaints. Looking at replacing them now too. Also look into the Cooper Discoverer line, I have those on my Sierra 2500 and they have been great.
I have heard good things about the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 as well, they are 3 peak mountain snow rated too (great winter traction).
Good luck in your choice. Ski
They’re noisy, and get louder as they continue to wear. They’re not a comfortable tire, I feel every little bump.
They have worn incredibly fast even though I rotate them every year. And I’ve been stuck twice with them in the span of a year. I’ve never been stuck before lol.
These toyos are junk, I’ll never buy them again.
