Tires Toyo or Kumho

Can’t speak to them on a crosstrek directly, but I have a set on my Xterra. Not terrible in terms of road noise day to day (even at a higher load rating on a heavier vehicle), and great tread life so far. As for grip, they are excellent. They got me through Minnesota’s snowiest winter in recent history last year and aided in getting a lot of my neighbors unstuck too.

I had AT3’s on my trek before I sold it for a truck. Great tires. They were great on muddy back roads in Texas getting to rural stations and were just as good when I moved to Colorado and dealt with snow storms.

Love the Toyo AT3 on my 17 CT. 215/65R15s. For comparison, the Bridgestones were 8lbs heavier per tire and that’s a huge difference in acceleration and wear/tear on the suspension/steering components. Also they are much quieter than Bridgestones.

Currently have a/t 3 on my CT, overall love them, 19k on the tires overall with light to moderate off-road and as well snow storms. They are a bit noiser but once you get used to it, the noise won't bother you. Better traction overall and worth it compared to the stock tires that came on mine. Went mudding over the weekend and they did great

Currently have their All-weathers Kumho HA 32. Snowed a ton in BC and having no issues on plowed roads and sidestreets. Handles much better in rain than my OEM Bridgestone Ecopias. Burns ~10-15% more gas in comparison thou.

Spend the extra $ and get the Kuhmos. Kumho Ecsta PA51 is pretty good for a budget UHP tire. It does seem a bit weak on winter traction though….

I just got a set of Toyo Celsius 2 CUV’s and I’m fairly impressed so far.

The only tire I've had that didn't feather in the rear was the Kumho ECSTA Platinum LX. But, it's easy to brake the tires loose on APR Stage 1.

Tell you what I wouldn't recommend: Kumho Solus, thanks to which my car now tends to pull itself in different directions on freeways with the cut-in rain channels.

I ran Kumho's when that's what I could afford. They're not good for long.
