I’m from Texas (Houston), driving to Colorado from Christmas to New years for skiing. Curious what make and type of tires I should get for one week of driving up there. I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra 2 wheel drive. Thanks in advance for all opinions.

The top-rated winter tires (the term “snow tire” is now considered archaic, as the new-technology winter tires are effective on ice as well as on snow) are Michelin X-Ice tires. There are 2 or 3 different models within that line, and not every model X-Ice is made in every size. You will likely ha…
