Owner reviews for tires

From personal experience - go for Bridgestone Turanza 6i.

Goodride padangos yra biudžetinės continental brando padangos. Važinėta ne viena sezona viskas su jomis gerai

Bridgestone Blizzak. On par with the x-ice and cheaper.

Has great luck with the Michelin x-ice. They last forever, and they offer good ice grip even though they have no studs.

Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires

The first number is the width in millimeters, and the second is the sidewall height as a percentage of that width. So a 235/45 has a 106 mm sidewall. If you drop to 235/30, that shrinks to about 71 mm. The rims will handle it fine since the width stays close, but it’ll affect your speedometer and gearing.

When your original 45s show 120 km/h, the 30s will actually be doing around 109 km/h. The annoying part is your odometer will climb roughly 11% faster than the real distance you’re covering.

Edit: smaller sidewalls also mean less grip and a harsher ride. The contact patch shrinks a bit, so while you’ll lose traction, you might enjoy how much easier it is to kick the rear loose if that’s your thing.

Ryobi sells a portable tire inflator. I keep mine in the car. I also keep a roll of super duty tape. If you get a flat in the middle of nowhere, you can tape up along tread and across the tire, inflate tire, and drive up to 50 miles. I drive in the mohave desert often and I feel much better knowing it is available. Even a newer car can get a flat.

I have wildpeaks on my rav. They are great aside from they wear down fast. Just put Toyo open country’s on and so far after about 1k miles I like them the best.

I had the same issue, replaced them as soon as I could. They seem to be famous for the edge line which is same like yours.

Note to self to never buy Nokian, those things are toast.
