vs
Tires OEM Toyota or VITOUR
Reviews
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
We have Vitour Galaxy tires on our car. They are affordable and work very good. We have a 1979 230 and the stock size there would be 175SR14. The closest I could find with white stripes was the Vitour tires in 185/80-14. They are a little bit taller than the stock size and fill out the wheel opening a little bit more, but I like how it looks and drives.
Pros: affordable, work very good, good looks, good drive
Yea. Also. 17+. Has hill assist for getting rolling uphill which is a nice option.\n\nOtherwise. It’s good as long as you keep up on the maintenance.. I bought a 15’ with 120k miles and did all the major recent work when I got it and it’s a great car\n\nHandles well in the rain even on those stock tires n wheels. Good. OG 86 car…
Pros: handles well in rain, good maintenance
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 120000 km
They look better than my Vitours I bought in may... 90 minutes of track day time and 7 asphalt autocross events.
Cons: poor durability
I came across the Vitour Galaxy R1s — they’re V-rated, which is cool, but I’m not sure if they’re DOT approved. From what I can tell, they’re made by a South African brand (possibly China-owned) and seem to be geared toward drift/race use.
Just wondering if anyone’s actually run these? How’s the grip and overall quality? I’m aiming for a tire that can handle daily driving and still be fun in the corners without dropping $500+ on Avons CR6ZZ
Pros: V-rated tire
Cons: DOT approval uncertain
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
Meh. Stones until they're proven. The regular P1's were a bunch of hype, which I was looking forward to, then they didn't deliver.
Cons: didn't deliver, just hype
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
Vitours are terrible cold and don't work well if your car doesn't generate enough heat.
Cons: terrible cold
