Owner reviews for tires

Buy Kuhmo AT51 road venture. You won't regret it. Even in deep snow.

I live in mountains with lots of snow. No problem whatsoever.

Oh and the tires are very quiet.

Michelin Pilot Alpin 5

Toyo Open Country are the only tires I have run for the last 20+years. Across three 4Runners. Close to 500k miles between my ‘98 SR5, ‘05Limited and 2020 ORP. I live in Washington and do quite a bit more off roading than it sounds like you do. The Open County Toyo line has been fantastic off-road, but I love them because they are so quiet and comfortable on the highway for such a capable tire.

CO driver, have about 500mi on a set of Cooper Road and Trails, very happy so far

Dealt with the same dilemma, went with the Michelin’s in the same size. Only about 500 miles in with them so I can’t vouch for snow, but they have been phenomenal on-road, in wet weather, and on the light trails/dirt roads I frequent for larping. Definitely a world of difference compared to the stock Dunlops and the KO2s I had on my Jeep, which I hated because they were so heavy and notorious for sliding in anything but dry conditions.

I commute to DIA from the Springs a LOT, and I have the AT3s. Great tire, lightweight enough to preserve MPGs, but still does well in snow. Plus they still look pretty good. Had them 20k miles now and they're still in great shape.

i have been running the Quatrac Pro on my WRX for a couple years now and they're awesome. The Vredesteins are very competent--excellent traction both wet and dry, quiet, and rated for high performance. Good wear, too

The Pirellis, at this pressure, are quite smooth and free rolling. But the weight is never forgotten, and getting to speed takes effort. The reflective sides are bright and clear, and lend a bit of comfort to riding in low-light mornings/evenings.

Thus far, no punctures. At 1500km, though, the rear's showing its wear (front looks nice still) and flattened off at the centre of the tread.

Traction-wise, I've had no concerns. Both: rain/shine they've given me no pause or worry. Riding on various surfaces: asphalt, concrete, gravel, dirt, packed limestone - they seem to just work well.

I have a set of Cooper 225/60/18 snow tires that grip really well, but I don't like the way they drive. The skinniness makes turning feel loose, and it feels like the car is going to flip (though it definitely isn't).

At first I thought they were decent but now at 20k miles they don't grip nearly as well, even with my AWD. I turned off traction control the other day and with a damp road (not raining) I did a 4 wheel burnout up to about 50 mph.
