Tires Toyo or Maxxis
It seems like every time I go riding it rains here in Sweden, so its pretty unavoidable! I just wear a rain jacket and decent pants for all of my riding and fear most every root or bare rock encounter (which is constant on MTB trails).
Yung maxxis pinalit ko sa stock dunlop ng fazzio ko mas makapit pa. Hehe.. naalala ko ilan beses muntik sumemplang sa dunlop pero sa maxxis makapit na makapit.
I like my Toyo AT3s. Just went to Pennsylvania for a project and they handled the snow and ice pretty well. It felt like I was driving in the rain with them but they had enough bite to slow me down and keep me in control on all the hills and inclined roads over there.
I had Maxxis winter tires on my Kia. Near impossible to get stuck in deep snow. Wear was really good but just used in the winter. Had them for 7 years with no flats or dry rot. They did tend to wander on the highway though.
Maxxis razr AT. Just as good if not better than wild peaks and about 10lbs lighter per tire(265/70 17)
I got some Toyo Extensa HP II’s for the summer/fall/spring from the former, delivered to my doorstep. I then got the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 at Costco and got them installed at location. I’m pretty happy with both tires.
I was going for something more aggressive and got the Toyo AT3 EV tires that get so much attention in this sub. They’re louder than the Michelins but not howlers like a lot of aggressive treads. Efficiency may have dropped by 0.1 mi/kWh. I’ve driven 2k miles on them so they’re pretty well settled in. I haven’t had any winter conditions to test them on yet but they’re triple-peak rated.
The only complaint i have for it is that the stock toyo tires are not “optimal” for extreme winter weather; they will still get the job done.
Anyways, I mounted the tires in my wheels and right away on the tire balancer two they wobbled bad. I balanced them but they’re shit tires. The vibrate, have a very “hollow” pop type noise when hitting bumps, and overall a bit squirrelly on the road.
Have Toyo at3 on my 2024 3500 Silverado srw. Previously had Goodyear duratracs. The only upside to these at3 is the quietness of them. They are worse than the Goodyears in every other category. I’m in Saskatchewan Canada… combination of highway pavement miles, gravel road driving. Found them to be the least favourite tire I have ever ran in the winter. They currently have 37000km / 23000M and I’d guess they are at 25% tread left. Won’t be getting another set.
