Tires MICHELIN or Toyo

I’ve had absolutely zero issues running Toyo ATIIs year round and I know plenty of people who haven’t had issues with Duratracs or KO3s either.

Western Canadian skier here. I run Studded Toyos on my outback every winter, it’s amazing!

I got them installed a few weeks. Noticeably quieter and the performance in wet conditions is really amazing.

The Toyo snow tires on my car have been awesome. I kinda used them all season because the grip was just too fun. Somehow have lasted nearly 30k miles with a third of the tread left too, and I drive my WRX spirited on curvy roads a lot.

Snow tires make a car with decent grip in the snow into great grip in the snow. Especially in the slushy slop.

The only downside with the Toyos for me is slightly worse handling on highways...they like to wander. But everywhere else they're better, esp off-road. Never hear them slipping on anything. Quiet vs Pirellis. Same or maybe slightly better efficiency than Pirellis too, if you get SL rather than LT. It'll be a little worse with the LT.

I've had the Toyo's for a week and really like them so far. Efficiency is equivalent to stock 20's, and they are more aggressive.

Places here on the coast don't require it by law but if your driving daily on highways and in the city I would highly consider getting some on steel rims ...Michelin xice are the way to go ... Next best tire to something with studs. And regardless of snow they perform much better in the rain as well as lower temps anything below 7.

I had 255/85/16 toyo m/ts and they handled great in a snow storm that dumped unexpectedly. Im definitely getting them again. They look great too and aren't that loud

I like the Toyo T1R , but damn it's an oooold design now...toyo really need to update it.

I have Michelin X-Ice and I didn’t like them last year. Would not recommend.
