Tires OEM Toyota or PHANTOM
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
I've driven my 2012 Camry for about 60k miles and the only maintenance I've needed routine. Tires/brakes/oil/etc...
Pros: routine maintenance only
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Mileage: 96560 km
Yeah holes in the tyres generally aren\u2019t great for holding pressure! That tyre is a long way past dead, it needs changing ASAP, i personally wouldn\u2019t trust it for driving at any speed.
Cons: tyre past dead
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
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
I got a 2006 Toyota Solara in June for $4250. 81k miles, one owner. I got new tires and had to change the downpipe/catalytic converter because it had a hole after driving for 2 months.
Pros: low mileage, one owner
Cons: hole in downpipe/converter
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 130357 km
Sure, for about 12k miles.
Pros: last 12k miles
Mileage: 19312 km
Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.
Pros: may wear well (hard rubber)
Cons: poor traction, not safe, avoid cheap
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
They're Chinese junk. They sorta work, but have 20% less traction and 50% less lifetime.
Pros: sorta work
Cons: less traction, less lifetime
