Tires Toyo or SUMITOMO
Got some new Toyo Open Country.A/T 3s for the new truck. Way better look and seem to perform well in the snow and ice so far.
If you want something cheaper but still sticky, the Toyo R1R also comes in 205/45/16 and works great for spirited street driving.
The Toyo would be your best bet since the Bridgestone are being discontinued but if you find a set, they'll be a better price than the Toyo.
I have Toyo gsi-6 studless winter tires on my fwd car. It makes driving in snow fun. With predictable braking and handling.
Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.
I have a 25 TRD Sport, went with P285/70/17 Toyo Open Country with Methods. The stock Wheels and Tires were 67lbs the new setup is 72lbs only a 5lb increase, I noticed zero change in mpg, life average 21.7.
If I'm reading this date code correctly, these Toyos are approaching 6 years old. This makes sense as they are pretty noisy, could stand to be grippier and the rubber just does not feel very pliable. So I need to ditch these for some new all-seasons.
I like the Toyo T1R , but damn it's an oooold design now...toyo really need to update it.
Those Toyo tires are so old, they don't even exist anymore.
Sunt un cacat btw, nu va luati.
