I tried Toyo snow and ice once and they were probably the best snow & ice tires I’ve ever had.
I put TOYO Observe G3-Ice on my Tacoma last winter. I live in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the country and they were great.
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.
The OEM Toyo A36 tires on my car started cracking badly at just 39,600 miles. After driving just 12 miles on the new Pirellis, here’s my honest take:
They are NOT any quieter than the Toyos.
I’m hearing pretty much the same road noise I had with the OEMs.
I am currently running the Toyo AT3’s, only complaint I have is they kinda suck in the rain and need rebalancing every 5k miles
Don’t run the Proxes R. My PCA chapter has seen tread delamination issues with this tire on a number of cars at recent events. There’s something wrong with them that Toyo needs to fix.
