Tires Toyo or Falken
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.
In California I use Falken Sincera.Cheaper than some and just fine for NorCal.
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 have a 2013 sport, live in Michigan and just put Falken Aklimates. An all weather snow stamped tire. Just had my first snow rip in them today and they hook up nice. A little louder than my previous tires (tiger paws).
I had the Toyos on a different truck. Liked them a lot.
If I'm reading this date code correctly, these Toyos are approaching 6 years old. This makes sense as they are pretty noisy, could stand to be grippier and the rubber just does not feel very pliable. So I need to ditch these for some new all-seasons.
They suck on the gas powered 90 as well. Replaced mine at 12K.
If it comes with the oem Falken tires get rid of them immediately as they will wear out very quickly.
