On my second set of AT3s. Fantastic tires.
Pēc kāda laika varēju uzlikt Michelin. Tas gan daudz braukājot pa piesnigušiem bezceliem ārpus Rīgas. Kopš tā laika ne ar ko citu nebraucu
The OE Goodyear Wrangers on my 2022 TRD Off-Read were finally due for replacement, so over the weekend, my Tacoma got some new shoes…265/75R16 Toyo Open Country A/TIII. I went with SL load rated because I don’t really need anything more, and they are only 4 lbs. heavier than the OE Goodyears.
I debated for a while between these, Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT, but ultimately decided on the Toyos based on the number of complaints about balancing issues with the Falkens, and the look of the Toyo vs. the Cooper.
After a weekend of doing a fair bit of driving, I’m quite happy with them. I’m running the stock TRD Off-Road suspension, stock wheels, with mudguards, and there is zero rubbing. The mudguards seemed to be the wildcard regarding rubbing, and I couldn’t find a solid answer…so for those wondering, there you go. Around town and on the highway, there is slightly more road noise than with the OE Goodyear Wranglers, but it is probably something that only those paying attention to it would really notice.
I’m still playing around with air pressures to find what works best. The tire shop had them at 36 psi, which warmed up to 39 psi when I got home, and was way too harsh. People seemed to recommend 30-35 psi for 265/75R16 tires on the Tacoma, so I split the difference, and aired them down to 33 psi, which warms up to 35/36 psi. After driving around with them like that all weekend, it’s much better…there’s a bit more road noise at 33 psi when they are cold, but once they warm up past 34 psi they quiet down. So we’ll see how that goes, but I am curious what tire pressures others are running.
But yeah, initial impressions are very good.
I purchased 3 year old Michelin Artic Alpine tires for my 2016 Nissan Rogue for $400 on Nissan rims with tire pressure sensors. Retail prob $1500.00. Winter tires are smart and nessasary for safe driving in Manitoba.
I had an AWD Charger as a company vehicle for a couple of years and it had been equipped with a newly released All-Weather tire that Michelin had come up with (utilizes sunflowers in the make up). They were really impressive all the way down to -5*F.
Still got those tires, no issues.
I usually just buy the relevant Michelin, and it costs more, but they feel good for a long time.
Go with Michelin CrossClimate2. They are excellent winter and excellent summers. I didn't think it was possible, but they are great tires. In the winter they are as good as any great winter only tire. I have them on my Santa Fe.
I have the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons on my 22s. They work ok, also a bit noisier. Not 100% in the snow, but get the job done.
Those Toyos are loud as hell above ~45mph.
