Tires Toyo or Pirelli
Never leave home w/o snows in the winter. Pirelli winter sottozero.
If you’re looking for a great off-road, snow tire that’s also good on pavement and doesn’t hum like crazy might I recommend the Toyo open country AT 3.
I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.
By contrast, the Toyo Celsius has not only been tested in the winter, but it even performed well on ice. (Well, at least as well on ice as a non-winter tire can possibly do.)
Best tire I've ran so far is pirelli night dragons super sticky tire in wet and dry. About same as stockers for lifespan have 15k on my night dragons installed on a road glide and almost due. Actually getting more mileage than the factory Dunlop's they got replaced at 3/32" at 14k
I run Pirelli Sottozero runflats every Winter, mostly highway driving, very happy with them.
I have Perilli Sottozero IIs on my clubman JCW. They’ve been good to me.
So I went ahead and purchased a set of Pirelli P Zero. What I am concerned about is that when I asked about the DOT date, the guy at the tire shop told me that the tires were made in the 24th week of 2016.
I just replaced the OEM tires on my 2019 @ 44k miles. The Toyos would have never gotten me through the first snow.
I was originally looking at the new Toyo Observe GSi6 for my winter tires to replace my 6 yo Blizzak DMV2. After further research, I found that the GSi6 tested at or near the bottom of winter tires. Very disappointing for a new tire IMO.
