Tires Toyo or Firestone

What tires do you have? Factory All Terrain tires (and all AT tires) make more noise. The factory AT tires have been known to drone more when the mileage is higher. Rotating your tires can help for a while.

Bought Toyo Celsius 2 and they are amazing. Quiet, handles well on snow and 60,000 miles.

I went with Firestone destination at/2 in 235/65 r17. They are great and light weight! Only 4lbs more than stock tires.

I have a set of Firestone Destination All terrains tires and i love them.

The best dedicated High-Performance Snows I ever had were Toyo Observe Garit KX in 225-50-17 on my old MK VI R. The colder it got, the better they gripped.

I just order TOYO tires then pay a shop to install and balance. I rotate myself and save the extra money aside for any damage/repairs I might need later. it's financially worked out to my gain over the last decade and several sets of all season and winter specific tires.

If you want ATs because of looks, there is already a proven option: Toyo Open Country ATIII EV.

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

Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.

I had the Toyos and drove 21k with the PHEV before they were down to 4-5/32". It is really important to check the tire depth every 2-3k and rotate as appropriate as they definitely wear quick when starting out.
