Tires Toyo or Goodyear
The Toyo OpenCountry AT3 on a Honda Element were my favorite. Superior snow, mud, rain, and pavement performance.
I’ve had the Toyo at tires and prefer the Toyo’s. I’ve driven lots of off road trails with toyos, driven cross country towing another truck behind me through blizzards and they were great.
Even if there's only an inch or two of snow (or more likely icy slush) down on the pavement, you'll notice a difference in traction between all season and proper winter tires.
The only *truly* green tire I know of is the Goodyear Electric Drive 2, which is built to complement electric cars and is made of renewable organic materials -- yet has excellent handling, noise, rolling resistance, tread life etc. characteristics.
I was pleasantly surprised when my Toyo ATIII in 285/75r17 C load arrived. It has a 3 ply sidewall. I was expecting it to be 2.
Ich fahre schon seit Jahrzehnten mit Goodyear Vector All Seasons und damit in der ganzen Zeit nur ein einziges Mal ein Problem, als ich in einer Schneewehe feststeckte und der Reifen nicht greifen konnte. Ein echter Winterreifen hätte das höchstwahrscheinlich funktioniert. Aber solche Schneewehen gibt es ja schon lange nicht mehr. Mehrverbrauch oder schwammiges Fahrgefühl etc konnte ich nie feststellen. Ich würde mal behaupten, wenn man normal fährt, also so einer ist, der ständig an die Grenzen geht, merkt man keinen Unterschied.
Mine was the same way with those tires. I have the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2’s now and it helped a bunch. Quieter, smoother ride, grippier, slippage off the line is no longer an issue, and any loss of efficiency is negligible.
Cc2 will last way longer than any other competitor. Goodyear weather ready is great for first 20k miles then it will become trash.
I have the Toyo Open Country A/T III EVs. They're noisy and they twist under hard acceleration. I feel like they're pretty stiff too. I don't hate them but I won't buy them again.
I have two sets of these on a pair of 2013,2015 Ford Fusions. 225-50-17.
One tire got a sidewall bubble at a couple months old. Walmart refused to help because I didn't have them install the tires but I suspect they would have come up with other reasons like road hazard to avoid a warranty claim. I was able to talk to Goodyear and have one of their company stores inspect. The cause was a crack at the inner liner splice and air migration into the carcass. They refunded me my purchase price.
A tire on my other car had the same problem in almost the exact same spot also less than a year old. Same result.
Tires are currently 2-3 years old and they have weathering and sidewall cracking. (Parked outside in Michigan). Multiple tires are developing something that looks like a heat ring to varying degrees.
