Tires Toyo or Nokia
I drove it last weekend in a Prius with three-peak mountain snowflake all weather tires (Nokian WRG-5). Like other all-weather tires, they're good in anything down to about -15°C and start to get skittish below that as the rubber hardens.
I did the same but went with a nokian tire. Love that tire. nokian is amazing. My ride improved and road noise was reduced.
I picked up a set of aftermarket rims and snow tires from Tire Rack and have been loving them for mountain trips and Local winter road travel.
I chose the WRG5 for my mom due to superior winter performance vs the CC2 and everything I have heard is that the CC2 is one of the louder tires-
I've been riding Toyo Open Country AT3's on my taco for 4 years and they do great in the snow/ice.
Got some new Toyo Open Country.A/T 3s for the new truck. Way better look and seem to perform well in the snow and ice so far.
For a Helsinki \u2192 Ruka trip in January, go straight for top-tier Nordic studless winters Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Michelin X-Ice Snow. Both are built exactly for the kind of icy, packed-snow highways you\u2019ll hit up north, and they handle EV weight really well. The R5 has slightly better ice grip, the X-Ice is a bit quieter and longer lasting.
I run Toyo 35x12.50s ATs on my f150. They’re pretty nice for winter and I don’t hear them at all. I had Falken M/Ts on my Tacoma and wasn’t a fan of them.
I'll never buy Nokian again. Lasted me less than two winters (stored properly during the summers) before kal tire refused to put them on due to cracking in the sidewalls. Absolute garbage.
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.
