Tires Toyo or Vredestein
Got some summers for my stock 20” wheels earlier this year, and they exceeded any tire I’ve tried before in grip. In particular, at the same time the ride quality for 265/30 tire feels like a 19 or 18. Then I needed to replace my winters (Toyo Observ) so I tried their Wintrac’s and holy shit, they have stiff sidewalls for cornering yet while cruising are like floating on air. Hugely noticeable cornering improvement over the Toyos.
Crossclimates were great in a previous car that I had to get in a different size. I just ordered the Vredstein Quatrac Pro+. it’s an all weather tire that’s winter certified and is supposed to have better wet and sport handling performance than the crossclimates. 55k tread warranty.
Tirerack says the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ is available in your size, it's 3PMS rated, and it does quite well in customer reviews for winter and summer driving.
Toyo Proxes Sport on my MK3.5 1.5TDCi. Really surprised with the performance of the tires, car handles beautifully.
Just switched from the Nittos to the Toyos and am super happy. Haven't taken them off road yet, but on road they're surprisingly quiet.
From my experience with working with them, I would go with the Toyo. Seem to balance better and wear out more evenly than the Nitto's.
Waited a month with enough miles to report this, however when I went from stock 20s to 275/70/R18 BFG KO2s they more aggressive and heavier tire took 2.5-3 MPG of efficiency from my 21 PB. I got 45k miles from those tires and they were great. In need of new tires I did some research and always heard Toyos were pretty good. So I felt like mixing it up with a new tire. I learned that Toyo early this year came out with a version of the Open Country that is for electric vehicles. A month and 1500 miles later, including some long road trips camping and my regular city driving, I can say that my trip readings are actually 1.5 MPG improved.
I’ve run those Toyo’s OC AtIII tires. Worked great on road, off road, and really did well in the snow. I’d recommend them for SUV vehicles.
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...
Vreds are noisy as fuk
