Tires Toyo or Achilles
The Toyo snow tires on my car have been awesome. I kinda used them all season because the grip was just too fun. Somehow have lasted nearly 30k miles with a third of the tread left too, and I drive my WRX spirited on curvy roads a lot.
Snow tires make a car with decent grip in the snow into great grip in the snow. Especially in the slushy slop.
The only downside with the Toyos for me is slightly worse handling on highways...they like to wander. But everywhere else they're better, esp off-road. Never hear them slipping on anything. Quiet vs Pirellis. Same or maybe slightly better efficiency than Pirellis too, if you get SL rather than LT. It'll be a little worse with the LT.
I've had the Toyo's for a week and really like them so far. Efficiency is equivalent to stock 20's, and they are more aggressive.
I had 255/85/16 toyo m/ts and they handled great in a snow storm that dumped unexpectedly. Im definitely getting them again. They look great too and aren't that loud
I had the Toyos on a different truck. Liked them a lot.
I would lean towards Toyo OC AT3 EV (SL). There is more user data available for it, showing equal or nearly equal efficiency result compared to factory Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus.
Recently bought a used Subaru Crosstrek for my daughter, and CarMax clearly had put new tires on them — specifically, Achilles SportTouring A/S.
I know nothing about this brand or model, so I can’t say what their wet or snow performance might be (or any other parameters, for that matter).
open country are great in the snow and do okay off-road. as has been said they're not the greatest in the rain.
Have Toyo at3 on my 2024 3500 Silverado srw. Previously had Goodyear duratracs. The only upside to these at3 is the quietness of them. They are worse than the Goodyears in every other category. I’m in Saskatchewan Canada… combination of highway pavement miles, gravel road driving. Found them to be the least favourite tire I have ever ran in the winter. They currently have 37000km / 23000M and I’d guess they are at 25% tread left. Won’t be getting another set.
I have a 2023 CX-5 Turbo, and was thrilled to replace those Toyos at 28k miles. Those Toyos suck on anything other than dry pavement.
