Pair of snow tires???
Up here they recommend all four.


We're supposed to get 4" to 8" of snow tonight. As long as I can "blast"
my way out the driveway with my old SUV, I'm happy. If it is more than
8", though, I'll have to call the plow guy.

Do you have part-time 4WD on that Toyota? If so, does it do the job in
the snow?


My 2013 Highlander is the last model year of the 2nd generation.
It has full time all wheel drive and I've never even felt it slip in the snow...considering the crappy Toyo Open Country all season tires it came with. Mileage on the vehicle (which will be two years old at the end of the month) is 19400 kilometers...approx 12000 miles.
I thought I read that the new 2014 and 2015 Highlanders have a four wheel drive similar to the RAV4...that is..front wheel drive until they start slipping and then the rear wheels kick in. Could be wrong on that.


I'll have to check that out if I get serious.
