Tires Toyo or OEM Chevrolet
My favourites are actually a Toyo that incorporates walnut shells into the rubber. I know it sounds ridiculous but having compared and tried a few, including the blizzaks, they were noticeably better in all winter conditions than anything else. For context, mine were put on a Sonata and I called them squid pelts because of the grip they provided.
I've run the Toyo GSi 6 HP for a while and it's been really good, I would prefer maybe a bit more ice traction at intersections polished by idiots flooring it and turning it into a skating rink.
Just got some 285/75r16 toyo at3's installed and they look and feel great. It's a 2023 tacoma trail edition so i wasn't sure how they would fit with the trail having the miniscule lift and the different rin offset but I just had it out wheeling and the only rubbing i had was 2 little spots on the front mudflaps only when half turned. I took a heat gun and pushed them in and that eliminated the rubbing entirely. Im really loving the look and feel (im not sure if its just me but it feels more planted to the ground). The fuel mileage went up to 15.4L/100 on the highway which isnt the worst and there is more road noise too but coming from my dodge dakota its still 1000x's better.
Want a real out there suggestion. The 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. Kind of a rare car. But my dad had one and it was an absolute blast. 200 hp and 266 ft/lb torque that was *instantly* available made the car way faster than you would have ever guessed. Once you ditched the terrible economy tires on it, it handled incredibly well because all the weight was way down low. It was also really well balanced because, while front wheel drive, most of the weight was in the middle - so it didn't really act like a typical front wheel drive car.
I have toyo at3 in that size on my 4th gen and there is zero rubbing. The only problem I have with 285 is they are super wide and the spare does not look good sagging under the truck. It fits it just doesn't look good at all.
Toyo at 3 are the best tires ever.
I had the Toyos on my truck and loved them. Very stable, good handling, aggressive look, and low road noise.
I've just had this after 3k on my Toyo Proxes. Barely below 7mm.
I am currently running the Toyo AT3’s, only complaint I have is they kinda suck in the rain and need rebalancing every 5k miles
Don’t run the Proxes R. My PCA chapter has seen tread delamination issues with this tire on a number of cars at recent events. There’s something wrong with them that Toyo needs to fix.
