Tires Toyo or Maxxis

Western Canadian skier here. I run Studded Toyos on my outback every winter, it’s amazing!

The Toyo snow tires on my car have been awesome. I kinda used them all season because the grip was just too fun. Somehow have lasted nearly 30k miles with a third of the tread left too, and I drive my WRX spirited on curvy roads a lot.

Snow tires make a car with decent grip in the snow into great grip in the snow. Especially in the slushy slop.

The only downside with the Toyos for me is slightly worse handling on highways...they like to wander. But everywhere else they're better, esp off-road. Never hear them slipping on anything. Quiet vs Pirellis. Same or maybe slightly better efficiency than Pirellis too, if you get SL rather than LT. It'll be a little worse with the LT.

I've had the Toyo's for a week and really like them so far. Efficiency is equivalent to stock 20's, and they are more aggressive.

I had 255/85/16 toyo m/ts and they handled great in a snow storm that dumped unexpectedly. Im definitely getting them again. They look great too and aren't that loud

I had the Toyos on a different truck. Liked them a lot.

I got just under 30k before changing. There was still maybe 5k of tread left to the wear bars on the worst one but I was going on a long trip and wanted new tires for it.

I really don't think these tires are great for either mileage or handling. In fact, the only thing they seemed good for is a comfortable, somewhat quiet ride.

I've just had this after 3k on my Toyo Proxes. Barely below 7mm.

Had toyo on my Nissan Maxima. They came when I bought the car new back in 07 the worst tires I ever owned, after less then a year slow leaks on one tire then another tire, wore very fast and just never liked their performance

I have the Toyo Open Country A/T III EVs. They're noisy and they twist under hard acceleration. I feel like they're pretty stiff too. I don't hate them but I won't buy them again.
