Tires Toyo or Pirelli

I just mounted these on my wife’s Alltrack… not the most “performance” forward but quiet, safe, and plenty of grip..

Pirelli’s winter tires are great on dry days and occasional snow, but you will be better off with tires more suited for the heavy snow conditions in ski areas.

Toyo Snowprox - der haftet auf Nasser Fahrbahn wie Hölle.

Just got these Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractives mounted onto my Jetta GLI. Makes a whole world of difference between the Stock Hankook Kinergy GTs and the shitty Yokohama YK-GTXs that I had before

Pirelli Pzero AS plus 3 tires that are better than stock. We also replaced at about 32K miles. Now that we've got the acceleration out of our system, we expect these tires to last much longer and they appear to be doing just that.

On my second set of AT3s. Fantastic tires.

The OE Goodyear Wrangers on my 2022 TRD Off-Read were finally due for replacement, so over the weekend, my Tacoma got some new shoes…265/75R16 Toyo Open Country A/TIII. I went with SL load rated because I don’t really need anything more, and they are only 4 lbs. heavier than the OE Goodyears.

I debated for a while between these, Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT, but ultimately decided on the Toyos based on the number of complaints about balancing issues with the Falkens, and the look of the Toyo vs. the Cooper.

After a weekend of doing a fair bit of driving, I’m quite happy with them. I’m running the stock TRD Off-Road suspension, stock wheels, with mudguards, and there is zero rubbing. The mudguards seemed to be the wildcard regarding rubbing, and I couldn’t find a solid answer…so for those wondering, there you go. Around town and on the highway, there is slightly more road noise than with the OE Goodyear Wranglers, but it is probably something that only those paying attention to it would really notice.

I’m still playing around with air pressures to find what works best. The tire shop had them at 36 psi, which warmed up to 39 psi when I got home, and was way too harsh. People seemed to recommend 30-35 psi for 265/75R16 tires on the Tacoma, so I split the difference, and aired them down to 33 psi, which warms up to 35/36 psi. After driving around with them like that all weekend, it’s much better…there’s a bit more road noise at 33 psi when they are cold, but once they warm up past 34 psi they quiet down. So we’ll see how that goes, but I am curious what tire pressures others are running.

But yeah, initial impressions are very good.

They are OK... Toyo makes a good tire, but as far as all-weather tires go the Celsius 2 are just average and similar in performance to most mid-grade all-weathers like Falken, Nexen, or General...

The Verdes came stock on my xc90 and they were terrible in inclement weather. It was a total game changer in the rain and snow once I upgraded to the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 based on a recommendation from a friend.

They are pretty mid and suck in snow. I had a loaner XC60 this weekend and took it up into the mountains and it felt downright dangerous.
