I recently purchased a set of 4 Toyo Celsius 2 tires for my 2019 Kia Optima. After living with them for a couple of days, they're good but they have a couple of weird quirks.
Pros: Pretty quiet, great snow/ice traction, soaks up bumps great.
Cons: The compound feels unnervingly soft, to the point it feels like it's running on low pressure (it's not). As a result, I feel like dry handling takes a big hit. I can't speak much for MPG but because of how soft the tires are, there seems to be a lot of rolling resistance.
Toyo open country ct are a super durable tire. I've got 60k on my set now and about to replace. Never lost much tire pressure and I've got 3 deck screws in 2 of them that I cut off rather than plug. Couldn't be happier, great grip and look 275/70/r18
I like the Toyo AT-2or3 good and grippy in slop, hardly any road noise that I've noticed on the highway.
I don’t think I’ll run a different tire on my crosstrek again
Falken, Toyo, Uniroyal etc are all good midrange. Don't skimp.
So for I like them more than the ko2s. They seem more quite over the ko2s. I think they are a thicker ply tire than the ko2s and can support more weight as well. I get about 20mpg hwy at 79mph.
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.
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.)
I can't input on the stretch, I am running the proxes 4 , I'm running a 19x8.5 with a 215-35 so my stretch is not close to what yours will be but I can tell you these tires are super loud with tons of road noise.
When I had my e46 it was wearing a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paws. In the course of the next 30k miles (almost exclusively highway miles), they all warped one by one and had to be replaced. I don't remember exactly how old the tires were but the last one was around 4 years old when it went, and each tire still had a decent amount of tread left in every case. I will never buy Uniroyal tires as long as I live.
