Tires Toyo or SUMITOMO

I don’t think I’ll run a different tire on my crosstrek again

So for I like them more than the ko2s. They seem more quite over the ko2s. I think they are a thicker ply tire than the ko2s and can support more weight as well. I get about 20mpg hwy at 79mph.

If you’re looking for a great off-road, snow tire that’s also good on pavement and doesn’t hum like crazy might I recommend the Toyo open country AT 3.

By contrast, the Toyo Celsius has not only been tested in the winter, but it even performed well on ice. (Well, at least as well on ice as a non-winter tire can possibly do.)

I’d love to try a bunch of different ones, but I’ve liked the Toyo GSI-6, had a nice sized tire to fit a 19” OZ wheel set I picked up

Toyo RA-1 - I bought a set of these to run on wet days or when there is real threat of rain. On a dry day, especially with full tread, they don't live up to the other three tires up there. But on a cooler day, especially a slightly wet or wet one, these tires can move. I also find them the easiest of these four to recover from a slide

I swear by Sumitomo Ice Edge tires. I've had three sets now on three different vehicles and other than a couple of nights when there was freezing rain, I've never had issues with them

I did, I upgraded to the Toyo Tire Open Country III A/T. Looking forward to winter ❄️

I have them on my 86. The sidewalls are OK, not great. They do leave something to be desired as far as cornering, as they seem to break loose with little warning.

The only tire brand I never liked was Sumitomo. They were always much narrower than spec and seemed to loose grip when you needed it most.
