Tires Toyo or BRIDGESTONE
I have a Corolla Cross and use Bridgestone Blizzak. Absolutely unstoppable in deep snow! Been recommending and using Bridgestone Blizzak tires for as long as I can remember. There’s not a better winter tire on the market.
I put TOYO Observe G3-Ice on my Tacoma last winter. I live in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the country and they were great.
Toyo Observes have the best traction on snow and ice of any non-studded tire. They're impregnated with crushed walnut shells, which act as mini studs. As a result they're noisy on dry pavement. But if traction is your top priority they can't be beat.
On our cars we have had the Blizzak WS60/70/80 and Blizzak DM-V2 for 20 years. The Blizzaks have been awesome but want to test the Hakkas to see if they are better than the Blizzaks.
I've used Blizzaks for a long time and they are great. I keep going back because they work great.
The Blizzak we have are 9 years old, but they are still in a good condition. We drive about 10k km/yr. So I guess the extra price you pay for top brand winter tires is for durability. I know there’s also comfort and noise level difference between good and less-good tires, but again I don’t feel any difference.
I run Blizzaks on my XC70 in the winter, and it's a utter MONSTER in the snow. I've embarrassed 4WD vehicles with good tires on snowy forest roads. I went into the mountains early season last year with just the all-seasons on after a minor snow event (a couple inches, plows had been through) and skidded slightly off a plowed gravel road onto a soft shoulder. Never would have happened with the Blizzaks, I'd just been lazy and hadn't put them on yet - they got put on later that afternoon. I don't notice much of a gas mileage hit that the winter fuel blend doesn't mostly account for anyway.
I ran an F Toyo MT in the same size on a '17 Duramax SRW. My camper is MUCH heavier than your popup so my tire life was in the 30k km range. I wouldnt say the Toyos held up much better than the tires that are 1/3rs the price, but they are a durable and refined product. Ive burned through a half dozen sets of Toyo MT and never had an issue with them.
horrible in slush, snow, rain or gravel....will replace mine asap
Turanza for 1 car, Dueler HT IIs for another. Ang ingay pareho sa highway rinig mo talaga ugong sa highway parang may sirang bearing.
