Rating 5.0

I went with the Toyo Extensa HP II because it was a good compromise on price/efficiency/grip/noise. My biggest complaint with the OEM tires was that they hydroplaned worse than any tire I’ve had on a car since the 80s and these Toyos are much better. Range is down, maybe, 2-5%, maybe more on longer drives at speed, but EVERYTHING else about these tires is leagues better…ride, handling, noise, braking…everything.

Pros: better ride, handling, braking
Cons: range down 2-5%
Vehicle: Nissan Leaf

GISLAVED Tires

I had Conti Vikingcontacts and those were great. Also, they are hard to find, but Conti owns a company called Gislaved tires who make outstanding winter compounds. They are from Sweden and engineered specifically for Scandinavian, Canadian, and Russian winters.

Pros: great winter compounds
Cons: hard to find

Toyos and Kumhos have served me well over tens of thousands of miles. Toyo Open Country AT3W and Kumho Crugen HT51. Michelins are known as the best tire for longevity and commuting.

Pros: served well, tens thousands miles

Toyo Tires

I'm at 7/32 at just under 20k miles on the stock Toyo's. Will likely swap them out this winter for something a bit more snow/ice capable, though they weren't awful this past year.

Pros: weren't awful
Cons: not snow/ice capable
Mileage: 32187 km

Toyo Tires

I was originally looking at the new Toyo Observe GSi6 for my winter tires to replace my 6 yo Blizzak DMV2. After further research, I found that the GSi6 tested at or near the bottom of winter tires. Very disappointing for a new tire IMO.

Cons: tested near bottom
