Tires Toyo or MRF

I put TOYO Observe G3-Ice on my Tacoma last winter. I live in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the country and they were great.

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 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.

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.

Have Toyo at3s on my truck and absolutely love them. Bfgs and falkens are too heavy

These are the common issues in MRF APOLLO AND CEAT.

These kind of bulging cause bursting on high speed.

Anyways, I mounted the tires in my wheels and right away on the tire balancer two they wobbled bad. I balanced them but they’re shit tires. The vibrate, have a very “hollow” pop type noise when hitting bumps, and overall a bit squirrelly on the road.

Have Toyo at3 on my 2024 3500 Silverado srw. Previously had Goodyear duratracs. The only upside to these at3 is the quietness of them. They are worse than the Goodyears in every other category. I’m in Saskatchewan Canada… combination of highway pavement miles, gravel road driving. Found them to be the least favourite tire I have ever ran in the winter. They currently have 37000km / 23000M and I’d guess they are at 25% tread left. Won’t be getting another set.
