Tires Toyo or Nexen
I have the AT3 in 35x11.5 on my 2dr and like them. Good wet, good dry, good snow, etc etc. No negatives to me.
I had these tires on my Audi S5 and they were great in the winter. They have a decent speed rating for a winter tire as well.
Toyo AT3 265/70R18 P load. They're incredibly light.
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.
Nexen is good and reasonably priced.
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.
About 8,000 miles ago, bought a set of their 30,000 mile rated tires. My wife asked me to look at her front tires because they looked "worn out" to which I said "What!" The front tires look like they have gone almost 25,000 worth of wear. She only drives locally and her job is less than a mile away. I've never seen tires wear down so much from so little driving but I guess that's what you get from buying at a Mom and Pop discount place.
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
