vs
Tires Nexen or OEM Toyota
Reviews
Fwd with snow tires in the winter isnt a bad option. You can't win every battle but itl do for 99% if the driving. I live in northern WI and we drive all over the place with Prius' and snow tires no problem.
Pros: not a bad option
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Used to do this and more, regularly, in a 4wd Tundra with Blizzaks. Was unstoppable.
Pros: was unstoppable
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
if you can, stick to the Nexens - best price to quality ratio I've used thus far. :) Great Korean company.
Pros: best price to quality
For the Nexen, I had a set of Nexen Roadian AT tires and they worked well for me.
Pros: worked well
Great SUV/CUV tire if you don't deal with snow... And Nexen has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry that includes a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer.
Pros: great warranty, good tire
Cons: not for snow
I recently went from FWD Toyota with good tires too AWD Subaru with good tires and there is no comparison. With my FWD in the snow I would regularly lose traction in corners at very low speed, sub 5 mph going around city streets. I could not start driving on a hill if there was snow or ice.
Pros: good tires, no comparison
Cons: lose traction in corners
Vehicle:
Toyota
24 sport 6mt with the stock nfera au7. It does fine, but the tires definitely leave a lot to be desired in the snow. I dont feel unsafe, but im not totally confident in the tires either.
Pros: does fine
Cons: not totally confident
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Yes the size choice is criminal and the OEM trailer tires even worse. Come on Toyota.
Cons: OEM trailer tires worse
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Those are the wrong wheels and it's got some bullshit Nexen tires on it.
Cons: wrong wheels, bullshit tires
They're Nexen. Had an inspection done this year and found out they're already down to 2mm, and I noticed recently they all have shallow, small cracks all over the edges. I put about 47,000 km on them over the last 28 months. They're almost 3 years old, how are they already in such shit condition? I'm getting winter tires next week but do I really need to replace my all seasons so soon? How are they cracking already?
Pros: 47,000 km lifespan
Cons: cracks on edges, shallow tread
Mileage: 47000 km
