Tires Toyo or YOKOHAMA
I just put a set of Toyo AT3 on my truck. Feels like I'm driving on Velcro compared to the KO2's. Those tires were great on the trails, but felt like I was gonna end up in someone's front yard in the rain.
Yokohama ice guard on my WRX. Does well in slush. Real good in deep snow. Wet roads very good. Dry pavement and temps above 45F, not so great.
Toyo GSI-6. Blockier pattern does well in heavy snow and is still good on ice and slush, but a shorter life.
PS: Dont go for Falken again. I replaced mine with Yokohoma Advans and they are pretty good.
I have the all season version of these and they're great in the rain. If I'm going uphill or accelerating hard I get a little bit of wheel spin on stock wheels.
I recommend Continental winter contact, General altimax arctic 12 or Toyo observe gsi-6. Top 3 winter tires in my opinion for reliability, tread wear, noise and cost.
Cheap tires are easily damaged plus they don't hold as much air pressure get the best tire you possibly can the Yokohama is actually a really heavy-duty good tire you need a really good heavy duty tire.
Junkyard tires for a pizza delivery beater, at 10 bucks each you can't beat it
Yokohama's for the car you care about
We have Yokohama Avid Ascend's and they are wearing like a pigs nose. Probably 30K on them now and they are rated at either 70 or 80K life. I easily see us getting 70K from them. 41 psi and proper rotation.
Whatever you do, don't buy Toyo tires. They do not go well with the Sonic....worst traction of any tire I've ever had on a car in my 45 years of driving.
