Tires Toyo or Cooper
I've preferred the Toyo GSI-6 HP on my "sporty" AWD sedan for road feel and spirited driving. This isn't an issue I've had with the Toyo since getting them 2 winters ago.
Years ago they cross-threaded several of my bolts with an air wrench. Recently I tried them again however as they had better pricing than any other shop in town. Got a great deal on some Toyos. They did good work - no issues since.
My favourites are actually a Toyo that incorporates walnut shells into the rubber. I know it sounds ridiculous but having compared and tried a few, including the blizzaks, they were noticeably better in all winter conditions than anything else. For context, mine were put on a Sonata and I called them squid pelts because of the grip they provided.
I've run the Toyo GSi 6 HP for a while and it's been really good, I would prefer maybe a bit more ice traction at intersections polished by idiots flooring it and turning it into a skating rink.
Just got some 285/75r16 toyo at3's installed and they look and feel great. It's a 2023 tacoma trail edition so i wasn't sure how they would fit with the trail having the miniscule lift and the different rin offset but I just had it out wheeling and the only rubbing i had was 2 little spots on the front mudflaps only when half turned. I took a heat gun and pushed them in and that eliminated the rubbing entirely. Im really loving the look and feel (im not sure if its just me but it feels more planted to the ground). The fuel mileage went up to 15.4L/100 on the highway which isnt the worst and there is more road noise too but coming from my dodge dakota its still 1000x's better.
I have toyo at3 in that size on my 4th gen and there is zero rubbing. The only problem I have with 285 is they are super wide and the spare does not look good sagging under the truck. It fits it just doesn't look good at all.
I got 4 cooper endeavor tires for my Subaru Crosstrek for $660 installed with alignment a couple weeks ago. They’re all seasons and my friends who know what they’re talking about all said they are excellent.
They're wearing quickly like an AT does, but great in the snow.
I have them on my 5.0 whipple and they do not grip the road. I live in south Florida andvin the rain my truck is all over the place. They look great and im sure they are good off road but definitely not on the hot payment with a little HP behind them.
Those Toyos are loud as hell above ~45mph.
