Tires Toyo or GENERAL TIRE
Idk bout your year, but I have 305s on my 2014, Toyo proxes 888r, hook like hell
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.
I've gotten Generals winter tires before and they were quite good as well and likely a cheaper option.
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'm running on General Altimax R43 - Grand Touring All Season. Very good tire overall, but when I step hard on the gas pedal, I can't keep the tires from squealing in first gear, even from a roll. It seems the GLI can benefit from a tire with better dry traction.
I bought a 2024 Ridgeline new in June 2024, and I just noticed dry rotting between the treads on all four OEM General Grabber A/T tires (date code 1424). This happened right before a long trip, and the truck has about 16k miles on it.
