I ended up getting the Toyo OPGO2+ Tire. I had to go down to an 18" rim from 20". Ptretty pricey but I think that I will be happy to have a good winter tire sperate from a Summer tire instead of an all season.
The tire is a 255/55R18 to get close match to the overall diameter of the original tire. Winter has not hit yet in Alberta Canada but I am looking forward to the first snow storm to test it out. I have noticed that there is more cab noise from tire howling but that is because it is on dry pavement. The rubber on these tires is actually very soft, which is good for clod weather.
Hope this helps.
