Toyo Observes have the best traction on snow and ice of any non-studded tire. They're impregnated with crushed walnut shells, which act as mini studs. As a result they're noisy on dry pavement. But if traction is your top priority they can't be beat.
I like my General Altimax all-season tires. I did eco tires before and felt like they had no grip.
I got new shoes as well over the weekend. I have the sports package and went with 255/60r19 Toyo Open Country AT3.
The Toyo OpenCountry AT3 on a Honda Element were my favorite. Superior snow, mud, rain, and pavement performance.
I’ve had the Toyo at tires and prefer the Toyo’s. I’ve driven lots of off road trails with toyos, driven cross country towing another truck behind me through blizzards and they were great.
Mine had G-Max's when I bought it...just replaced them last year with another set. They are a great tire.
I've used the General Gmax As05 and now the new AS07 for the past bunch of years. Never had any problems driving in the snow and ice of PA or any cold weather at all. Cheaper than Pirelli and Michelins, very solid overall.
I was pleasantly surprised when my Toyo ATIII in 285/75r17 C load arrived. It has a 3 ply sidewall. I was expecting it to be 2.
The only complaint i have for it is that the stock toyo tires are not “optimal” for extreme winter weather; they will still get the job done.
Even expensive tires can be cheap sometimes depending on how they were manufactured. I got a soft tire once and it wore the treads down super fast on just one tire. I rotated them multiple times and it was always the same tire wearing down.
It was a Toyo Geomancer, the tires were fine and looked nice but that one tire was definitely defective.
