Tires Toyo or BRIDGESTONE
I have the Toyos at3 EV and love them
I've got Blizzaks on my 19 here in Southwestern Ontario. They've been great so far! We are getting hammered this winter too!
If you want to increase traction you need to get top tier quality such as blizzak ws90 or michelin ice-x
Get the Toyo AT3's. I just got mine after extensive research. Falken wildpeaks are too heavy and BFG KO3's don't perform as well as the Toyo AT3's. You'll get 50k miles out of them. I've had BFG KO3s before and the Toyos are better. I drive year round in my Toyos and they're grippy, quiet and don't lose very much mpg. Had the Micheling Mud and snow tires and they didn't perform nearly as well as the Toyo AT3's.
If you end up choosing real winters then Blizzaks or X-Ice genuinely transform the car as I ran Blizzaks on my old RWD coupe when I lived near Ann Arbor and it went from borderline undriveable to genuinely confident on unplowed roads.
The best AT tires I've ever had for severe cold and ice were the Toyo Open Country AT3. They feel like they have a softer compound than the KO2 or Falken's I've had. I'm in Nebraska so we get plenty of cold and ice.
Major tire recalls in 2025 involved Continental, Nitto, and Toyo for tread detachment/production issues, affecting many truck/SUV tires like Nitto Crosstek 2, Toyo Open Country, and Continental TerrainContact/Grabberlines.
I put Toyo AT3’s on last winter after a near miss wreck on the highway and while they are better than stock performance wise i feel I would get better performance out of a dedicated snow tire and summer tire. I went with the toyos because they are the lightest on the market and still went from 27mpg average to 23.5mpg average to me that’s not worth what I gained in good looks.
We had blizzaks on wife’s jeep. Did not like them.
Our new 2025 CRV needed 4 new tires at only 9k miles. All 4 tires were cupped and fraying despite looking new. Felt and sounded like I was driving a helicopter.
