Tires Toyo or Vredestein
They are quiet and smooth riding. I think they are a bit softer than your standard all season, so in Florida they will wear fast.
Another one here to recommend the Toyo at3’s. On my second set and they have held up nicely through all sorts of different terrain and conditions. They’re a strong tire with a 3ply sidewall and didn’t get any chunking after a weekend rock crawling in Sedona.
I’ve been running Toyo open country AT3 with good luck. Quiet on the pavement, indistinguishable in dry from higher end options, and really good in ice/snow.
I have had the Toyo's (3 sets) and the Geolanders (2 sets). Traction wise, it's a wash. Both do well in rain and ice. Off road is the same. The Toyo's lasted MUCH longer than the Geolanders.
I have Toyo Open Country AT3s now, and I'm always impressed with how quiet they are, given their aggressive tread. Had them for about 14k miles and they've performed well in mud, snow, and over rocks - but still feel good on the highway.
I recently put the Vredstein Quatrac pro+ tires on my Golf R and finally got to test them in snow this past weekend and they too were excellent in the snow. The roads were covered in snow and ice and it dumped over the weekend, great tire and they had the right size for my golf unlike the cross climates. These tires seem to be a bit sportier in dry handling as well, with a Y speed rating, wet traction has also been awesome. I don’t have a ton of mile on the tires but based on my experience so far, including in the weather, I’d recommend them.
I think in my case where my Toyota Sprinter is a 5MT 4WD vehicle (with a center locking diff i might add ????), the Vredesteins are my favorite. In the other 3 seasons of the year where there is no snow, they are excellent in the wet, they are relatively quiet and i enjoy how they perform with more "spirited" driving.
Toyo C1Rs. Currently using on my Jazz. No complains. Solid tire in the dry and wet.
Currently running toyo proxes on my G37 they grip super nice with the upgraded suspension on the car but not so much as advertised for the rain it still slips a tiny bit in the rain but either way I never floor it during rainy days
My patience ran out around 3000 miles. I hated how vague they felt in the rain, and I was not interested in waiting until winter to see how much worse they’d be on snow and ice.
