Tires OEM Toyota or Giti
Reviews
I have a 2022 Rav4 hybrid, and it is AWD. I live in Alberta near the mountains, and my hybrid handles the snow great. I also have snow tires on my vehicle. It is a 31 km drive from my house to work, down city streets and on a highway that may not be cleared, and I have had no issues since owning this vehicle. \n \nI have great gas mileage in the winter and summer months.
Pros: handles the snow great
Vehicle:
Toyota
My AWD gen5 Prius is surprisingly capable in the ice and snow with the stock all season tires. I live in northern Indiana and just drove home through a blizzard last week. Was able to cruise comfortably at 40mph in pretty much the worst conditions.
Pros: capable in ice and snow
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
On my second RAV4 hybrid, both have performed adequately with winter tires with a few inches of snow on un-plowed roads in New England. The winter tires are the key however as others have said.
Pros: performed adequately
Vehicle:
Toyota
Fast forward to my 1st of 3 Ravs with much better snow tires and it was a much better ride. So, Ravs are very decent in snow, no\nIssue\u2026 BUT get good snow tires and I\u2019d stay away from winter rated all-seasons tires if you have to drive in regular snowy areas.
Pros: much better ride
Cons: stay away all-seasons
Vehicle:
Toyota
So glad I have snow tires. They make my Prius feel like a hummer.
Pros: Prius feels like hummer
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Can u at least get brand new china tyres like Giti or tourador instead of second hand tyres?
Ive heard of laufenn but im more familiar with Giti as you see there stuff rebranded in the US as GT Radial and Dextero which are popular in discount tire and walmart. They’re a good budget tire but dont expect 50k out of them. I find most budget tires feel just as good as the more expensive stuff with their longevity being the main drawback
Pros: good budget tire
Cons: longevity being drawback
Changed to them a few months ago, the wear and tear of these tyres are poorer than the common brands such as Bridgestones, foresee it lasting about 1 year compared to 2-3 years with common brands tyres. My road usage is around 12000-13000 km per year.
Cons: poor wear and tear, short lifespan
Mileage: 12000 km
My rear giti S2 tyre burst in BKE while driving on the fast lane. It was probably already around 35000-40000KMs. I managed to filter left and get to the road shoulder without damaging my rims. It doesn't take well extreme hot weather.
Cons: burst, poor in hot weather
Mileage: 35000 km
The OEM tires are trash (I have the smaller ???? wheels for improved ride quality).
Cons: poor quality, trash
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
