Tires Toyo or Kumho
If you want something cheaper but still sticky, the Toyo R1R also comes in 205/45/16 and works great for spirited street driving.
I have kumho WinterCraft ice Wi32 on my own Id.4. They were affordable compared to Nokia or Continental and performed excellently in Tekiikan Maailma\u2019s winter tire test (Nokia got 8,9 and Kumho 8,4).
The Toyo would be your best bet since the Bridgestone are being discontinued but if you find a set, they'll be a better price than the Toyo.
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.
Just replaced the stock Kuhmo Majesty TA91s (Boston area) on my new/used 2024 Kona Limited with CC2s- 19" tires are expensive as hell but it was well worth it. I noticed the difference immediately.
Now, here is the weak link for the CCX-70- and CX-90: The factory tires (Toyo Open Country A51 on our CX-70) are highway touring tread, only 8/32" tread depth brand new, and a very tame and dry pavement oriented tread pattern designed for quiet ride. We live in the midwest and I am kicking around swapping out the tires, but therein lies another constraint, at least on our model: It has 19" rims and factory installed Toyo's are 265/55R19 size (109V load rating). That is an oddball/rare tire size.
Kumhos are decent tires for smooth town driving. Not the top notch, but pretty decent.
Toyos kinda suck, especially after some wear.
With stock Toyo tires = shit.
