Tires OEM Toyota or IRONMAN

I have a 2022 Rav4 hybrid, and it is AWD. I live in Alberta near the mountains, and my hybrid handles the snow great. I also have snow tires on my vehicle. It is a 31 km drive from my house to work, down city streets and on a highway that may not be cleared, and I have had no issues since owning this vehicle. \n \nI have great gas mileage in the winter and summer months.

My AWD gen5 Prius is surprisingly capable in the ice and snow with the stock all season tires. I live in northern Indiana and just drove home through a blizzard last week. Was able to cruise comfortably at 40mph in pretty much the worst conditions.

On my second RAV4 hybrid, both have performed adequately with winter tires with a few inches of snow on un-plowed roads in New England. The winter tires are the key however as others have said.

Fast forward to my 1st of 3 Ravs with much better snow tires and it was a much better ride. So, Ravs are very decent in snow, no\nIssue\u2026 BUT get good snow tires and I\u2019d stay away from winter rated all-seasons tires if you have to drive in regular snowy areas.

So glad I have snow tires. They make my Prius feel like a hummer.

An ultra-high-performance all-season tire, the iMove Gen 3 A/S from Ironman is designed for use on sport and performance-oriented coupes and sedans. Built with large shoulders that improve cornering and handling, the iMove Gen 3 A/S features an all-season rubber compound that allows for solid traction in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions.

Money forced my hand a couple summers back and I had to put new front tires on my Grand Marquis at the time. Had to go cheap and bought Ironman iMove all seasons. After a few months the only positives on the ledger were that a) they had tread and b) oddly, they balanced out unbelievably well. 80 MPH on the highway, smooth as glass. Ride and handling quality deteriorated quickly from new and they got loud in a hurry.

I got a 2006 Toyota Solara in June for $4250. 81k miles, one owner. I got new tires and had to change the downpipe/catalytic converter because it had a hole after driving for 2 months.

The OEM tires are trash (I have the smaller ???? wheels for improved ride quality).

Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
