Tires Toyo or Firestone
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.
I'm currently running Firehawk Indy 500 Performance tires as all seasons and they do well enough in small amounts of snow
I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.
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.
Put these on my Tundra recently. Tire looks great but def a bit noisier than the Firestones.
I have these on my RAM 1500 and they spin on wet pavement even with care on the throttle.
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.
