Hi all, I am looking to outfit my 2015 Venza with winter rubber (mandatory here in Quebec as of Dec 1st). I have been spending way too much time looking at tires and trying to find a good deal.
I am going with 17 inch steel wheels and tires in 245/65/17 or 235/65/17. I was looking at Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S Light truck tires...and got to thinking, is there any reason I shouldnt consider them? I realize they are not exactly intended for a Venza, and I was ideally looking at passenger car tires.. but the ratings on these seem excellent for snow and ice and the price doesnt hurt either at 150$ a tire plus a 70$ mail in rebate. I thought that all terrain tires typically would fare poorly in ice or snow, but the reviews and ratings state otherwise... first off.. no i will not be taking the venza offroading or anything close to that.. so i dont need LT tires. Just looking for opinions. Thanks!
