Tires Toyo or WEST LAKE

I had these tires on my Audi S5 and they were great in the winter. They have a decent speed rating for a winter tire as well.

Toyo AT3 265/70R18 P load. They're incredibly light.

I tried Toyo snow and ice once and they were probably the best snow & ice tires I’ve ever had.

I put TOYO Observe G3-Ice on my Tacoma last winter. I live in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the country and they were great.

Toyo Observes have the best traction on snow and ice of any non-studded tire. They're impregnated with crushed walnut shells, which act as mini studs. As a result they're noisy on dry pavement. But if traction is your top priority they can't be beat.

I got new shoes as well over the weekend. I have the sports package and went with 255/60r19 Toyo Open Country AT3.

Just bought a set of 35x12.50R20 Toyo AT3’s so I guess we will see how they hold up as far as longevity goes!

I have Westlake SL369s on the back of my old truck, but I only put about 1000 miles on them before the engine blew up. Can report back once I get it running again I guess.

Don’t run the Proxes R. My PCA chapter has seen tread delamination issues with this tire on a number of cars at recent events. There’s something wrong with them that Toyo needs to fix.

Once I let a tire place talk me into buying Toyos instead of Michelins. Immediate regret as I drove away as the sidewalls were way too soft.
