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’ve had the Toyo at tires and prefer the Toyo’s. I’ve driven lots of off road trails with toyos, driven cross country towing another truck behind me through blizzards and they were great.
I was pleasantly surprised when my Toyo ATIII in 285/75r17 C load arrived. It has a 3 ply sidewall. I was expecting it to be 2.
Have Toyo at3s on my truck and absolutely love them. Bfgs and falkens are too heavy
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.
Once I let a tire place talk me into buying Toyos instead of Michelins. Immediate regret as I drove away as the sidewalls were way too soft.
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.
