Tires Toyo or Falken
I have Toyo gsi-6 studless winter tires on my fwd car. It makes driving in snow fun. With predictable braking and handling.
I have a 25 TRD Sport, went with P285/70/17 Toyo Open Country with Methods. The stock Wheels and Tires were 67lbs the new setup is 72lbs only a 5lb increase, I noticed zero change in mpg, life average 21.7.
285/70R18 Falken Wildpeak R/T01 tires measuring 34” on Discount Tire’s website, clear with no front, rear or UCA rubbing or contact on stock suspension and wheels.
I use the Falken RT660+ on my NC during Race Season/Non Winter.
Really fun grippy tires, and are only $180 a tire in a 225/45/17 last I checked. They will drive in the rain just fine as long as there is not standing water (puddles) as well.
I daily on them and autocross on them during the warmer months
For that New England -> Montana winter highway run, the Falken Wildpeak AT3W is honestly the safest all-terrain you can throw on a Tacoma without going full snow tire. They bite way better on packed snow/ice than KO3s and stay stable at highway speeds.
Wildpeak AT4Ws, 255/85r16s, never go back. True 33s, no modifications needed to the truck at all. They are beasts in the snow and ice, I wouldn't even worry about having true snow tires with them honestly. They have crushed two Northern Michigan winters in a row now.
I like my Toyo AT3s. Just went to Pennsylvania for a project and they handled the snow and ice pretty well. It felt like I was driving in the rain with them but they had enough bite to slow me down and keep me in control on all the hills and inclined roads over there.
If your ’25 RAV4 XLE Premium came with Toyo A39s, I’d honestly switch them sooner rather than later the hydroplaning complaints are real, especially once they wear in
Toyo & Nitto Tire Recall Alert
If you’re running Toyo or Nitto tires, take a minute to check your setup—there’s an official recall that could affect your safety.
An isolated issue in the belt manufacturing process may cause the tread or belt to separate while driving. This can lead to reduced control and increase the risk of a crash.
Obviously a puncture, but the Falkens are hot garbage even when new.
