Toyo Observes have the best traction on snow and ice of any non-studded tire. They're impregnated with crushed walnut shells, which act as mini studs. As a result they're noisy on dry pavement. But if traction is your top priority they can't be beat.
I got new shoes as well over the weekend. I have the sports package and went with 255/60r19 Toyo Open Country AT3.
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.
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.
I thought they must be crap but after looking into them, they are very well-reviewed. A traction A temp, UHP (ultra-high performance) rated. I like them. You could pay $400/tire for a premium brand but they won't be 4 times better or last 4 times longer.
Have Toyo at3s on my truck and absolutely love them. Bfgs and falkens are too heavy
Just bought a set of 35x12.50R20 Toyo AT3’s so I guess we will see how they hold up as far as longevity goes!
Even expensive tires can be cheap sometimes depending on how they were manufactured. I got a soft tire once and it wore the treads down super fast on just one tire. I rotated them multiple times and it was always the same tire wearing down.
It was a Toyo Geomancer, the tires were fine and looked nice but that one tire was definitely defective.
I'm not sure if it's luck or they just suck, but within 6k miles of owning my mazda, I've had 2 toyo tires with sidewall problems. I never had any issues on my Michelins
