Tires Toyo or Vredestein

Installed 4 Vredesteins 2 weeks ago done great in rain, snow, and dry.

If you can fork out a little extra, Toyo Proxes A/S sports. Amazing tire in both wet and dry conditions. They’re made to be used on “sportier” drives.

I recently purchased a set of 4 Toyo Celsius 2 tires for my 2019 Kia Optima. After living with them for a couple of days, they're good but they have a couple of weird quirks.

Pros: Pretty quiet, great snow/ice traction, soaks up bumps great.

Cons: The compound feels unnervingly soft, to the point it feels like it's running on low pressure (it's not). As a result, I feel like dry handling takes a big hit. I can't speak much for MPG but because of how soft the tires are, there seems to be a lot of rolling resistance.

Toyo open country ct are a super durable tire. I've got 60k on my set now and about to replace. Never lost much tire pressure and I've got 3 deck screws in 2 of them that I cut off rather than plug. Couldn't be happier, great grip and look 275/70/r18

I like the Toyo AT-2or3 good and grippy in slop, hardly any road noise that I've noticed on the highway.

Vredestein Pinza AT.

Kept seeing tons of good things, but not actual reviews. Live in Reno/Tahoe area up Mt Rose and have been really happy this big winter ripping around in the snow.

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

I just bought a set of winter Vredesteins in November and so far, I've been very, very pleased with their performance (coming from a history of Blizzaks, then more recently Michelin Alpins).

Been through a few mild winter weather snow storms on the factory Toyos. They're ok but far from confidence inspiring on any kind of hill. Even getting up my driveway was a challenge.

We no longer sell or recommend vredestein. Saw a lot of issues with tread wear and blow outs on 40 series or less sidewall.
