By contrast, the Toyo Celsius has not only been tested in the winter, but it even performed well on ice. (Well, at least as well on ice as a non-winter tire can possibly do.)
I’d love to try a bunch of different ones, but I’ve liked the Toyo GSI-6, had a nice sized tire to fit a 19” OZ wheel set I picked up
Toyo RA-1 - I bought a set of these to run on wet days or when there is real threat of rain. On a dry day, especially with full tread, they don't live up to the other three tires up there. But on a cooler day, especially a slightly wet or wet one, these tires can move. I also find them the easiest of these four to recover from a slide
I did, I upgraded to the Toyo Tire Open Country III A/T. Looking forward to winter ❄️
I'm pretty impressed so far, they are very quiet for an AT tire and they look cool on a Grandma SUV. MPG difference is effectively zero.
I'm running Toyo tires Proxes ST3. Such a much smoother ride than the stocks. Super grippy as well. Wet performance is also great.
I recommend Toyo tires, Bridgestone and Michelin. We usually go with toyo but all of the 3 have served us well
I ended up getting the Toyo Open Country ATIII tires as recommended by some of the posters below, and my tire shop! These seem to last longer than some of other options I was looking at, and don't need rotation as frequently. They're also rated as all-season tires, which is a nice plus for New England.
So far I've driven them offroad quite a bit in VT on the NE BDR, some trails in NH, and out on the beach at the Cape Cod National seashore. They've handled it all very well.
As far as road manners go, they are nice and quiet, but of course they are a slightly louder than highway tires. nothing obnoxious. They've also done just fine with grip on wet asphalt, and are fine on dry asphalt as well. I don't think they are as responsive as the HT tires were for steering on the road, but they track nice and straight.
I can't input on the stretch, I am running the proxes 4 , I'm running a 19x8.5 with a 215-35 so my stretch is not close to what yours will be but I can tell you these tires are super loud with tons of road noise.
Whatever you do, don't buy Toyo tires. They do not go well with the Sonic....worst traction of any tire I've ever had on a car in my 45 years of driving.
