Tires OEM Toyota or Maxxis
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.
If you want something that’ll stretch closer to 15 to 20k km, the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 has held up way better for me as my last set went just under 17k km before chunking.
Since switching to Maxxis DoubleDown, I've had no problems at all.
If you want as much choice of casing and compound as possible go Maxxis - DHRII or Dissector. Dissector is faster rolling and perfect for dry loose rocky.
For proper DH right now the most loved combo is Maxxis Assegai front / Minion DHR II rear, both in DH casing + MaxxGrip.
DHR II in the back, Assegai in the front is pretty good.
Can be quality of tyre as well also your driving style. If tyre have soft compound it will go down quicker. I went trough set in 6 months. Maxxis premitra 5. Good grip but my god, they disappeared day by day.
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.
Yes the size choice is criminal and the OEM trailer tires even worse. Come on Toyota.
I had these exact tires on an Acura TL. I wouldn't recommend them, they were not great in the winter. They were also really loud on the highway and they wore really quick.
