Tires Toyo or Barum
Currently running Sl toyo at3s, but likely going to switch to Cooper Road and Trail A/T has i have seen some good things about those tires.
Currently on Toyo Celsius 2, on a AWD and it does well for urban winters. I did drive through a blizzard and it was fine, but back of mine was wondering...Halfway through it's lifespan and zero issues.
Idk bout your year, but I have 305s on my 2014, Toyo proxes 888r, hook like hell
I've preferred the Toyo GSI-6 HP on my "sporty" AWD sedan for road feel and spirited driving. This isn't an issue I've had with the Toyo since getting them 2 winters ago.
Years ago they cross-threaded several of my bolts with an air wrench. Recently I tried them again however as they had better pricing than any other shop in town. Got a great deal on some Toyos. They did good work - no issues since.
My favourites are actually a Toyo that incorporates walnut shells into the rubber. I know it sounds ridiculous but having compared and tried a few, including the blizzaks, they were noticeably better in all winter conditions than anything else. For context, mine were put on a Sonata and I called them squid pelts because of the grip they provided.
I've run the Toyo GSi 6 HP for a while and it's been really good, I would prefer maybe a bit more ice traction at intersections polished by idiots flooring it and turning it into a skating rink.
I got just under 30k before changing. There was still maybe 5k of tread left to the wear bars on the worst one but I was going on a long trip and wanted new tires for it.
I really don't think these tires are great for either mileage or handling. In fact, the only thing they seemed good for is a comfortable, somewhat quiet ride.
I have them on my 5.0 whipple and they do not grip the road. I live in south Florida andvin the rain my truck is all over the place. They look great and im sure they are good off road but definitely not on the hot payment with a little HP behind them.
Those Toyos are loud as hell above ~45mph.
