Default NEED tires HELP

I have the Dueler Revo's on my 02 tundra now because of the reviews I read.
Have 45,xxx on them and they were good tires.
Spend 80% of time on the road but have snow to deal with.
The revos were good in the snow, on wet roads, quiet.

What I did not like was I needed to lock in on wet grass, and somtimes in my drive with snow. I tried weight in back and no help. Felt stupid locking in for wet grass so I could turn around on a lane.

What tires would be suggested that would be great on the road, great for snow covered road, work well on wet roads? And tell WHY!!

I know I want it all.

I have been scaning posts and see the toyo and Nittro and Michelins come up. Like the fact people are getting 70,xxx plus miles on Michelins, but worried about the traction for the off road I do in the fall and winter.

Thanks for your help,
Tim

I used to run Yokohama Geolander HTS G051 on my 1997 4runner that I just traded for an 06 Sequoia and I was very happy with them. Not as aggressive as the Revos and the Yokos are rated as All Seasons.

I drove mostly in town and on the highway with limited if any offroading. They rode well on the highway smooth and quiet and did very well in rain and snow. I am not an offroader but do experience some heavy snow at times driving in Cleveland and the Western New York snow belt. I drove these tires on unplowed roads with 2 feet of snow on them and they did the job just fine of course I was in 4x4 mode. Also handled puddles at highway speeds well with no hydroplaning.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Will need to look them up.
I do get in some mud now and than so may need more lug.

Any one tried kelly tires? Saw a set on a truck and they looked good.

I have seen the Firestone Destination and like how they look.
Any experience with them? Snow? Mud? Highway?
