HI, I'm new to the form.
Have a 2018 Tacoma off Road version with all terrain tires.
Are these tires acceptable for snowy winter driving?
Will I have better traction with 4 snows tires?

I had 2 sets of tires/rims for my '09. The BF Goodrich AT Ko2 was my 3 season tire and has the mountain/snowflake symbol on it. They were ok in snow, but I also had the stock rims which had Nokian snows on them. They not only ruled the snow, but also the wet slush which is always present around northern NY for 4 months. The main drag was the TPMS light (which I eventually took care of with a piece of electricians tape for 4 months out of the year. I wish you lived in Northern NY. I give you the Nokians.
 
Depending where you live invest in snow tires - I run Blizzaks during the winter on my factory rims as my Nittos were garbage the second the roads got cold and snowy

*have them mounted on a separate set of rims with their own tpms sensors

Thanks for your reply, I think I'll invest in some snows then.

And you can reprogram your tpms sensors with the ATEQ quickset tool— got mine for approx $100 (tirerack) and it’s nice to have the light work properly with each set change.

warmfuzzies, I don't know if you're still hanging around here but isn't that tool used just to turn off the light? It has nothing to do with reprogramming it correct?

It reprograms — I have two different sets of tpms sensors in my two tire sets.

The tool stores the tpms codes for winter + summer and it reprograms the truck to accept whatever set you install.

It works since I can read all the pressure values
