Tires Toyo or OEM Volkswagen
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.
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 did get one used and it seemed to hold up just ok until I ran over a small branch at 35 mph. The thread peeled from the tire body from the inner area outwards, slowly leaking air.
MFD date of 2014 for my Toyos on my G. I think they aren’t bad, for the price
Even expensive tires can be cheap sometimes depending on how they were manufactured. I got a soft tire once and it wore the treads down super fast on just one tire. I rotated them multiple times and it was always the same tire wearing down.
It was a Toyo Geomancer, the tires were fine and looked nice but that one tire was definitely defective.
I'm not sure if it's luck or they just suck, but within 6k miles of owning my mazda, I've had 2 toyo tires with sidewall problems. I never had any issues on my Michelins
