Rating Breakdown
10th set of winter tires
Over the years I've bought 10 sets of winter tires from various manufacturers for various cars. These are top tier winter tires. Definitely would buy again.
Thanks for the feedback "Prairie Canuck"!
Performs as advertised
Works very well in cold weather and handles very well on snow and ice. Is a little rough on smooth dry roads, but not terribly so.
Thanks for the feedback "RJQB20"!
Ratings based on Winter Driving
I have used Toyo Observe winter tires in the past but this is the first studded set I have run. The first icy snowfall day was beyond impressed with the capabilities. Everyone else on the road was struggling however I had more than ample grip. Dry pavement does seem to have slightly less traction but that could be a combination of the studs and brand new winter tread. Highly recommend these as winters tires and will be putting them on all my vehicles going forward.
YYC" you are correct that winter tires need to be "broken in" in order to provide maximum traction in cold weather. This is usually accomplished within the first 50 km of use. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Fantastic Winter Tires
These are probably the best Winter tires you've never heard about. As other mention you can't beat them in terms of performance and value. I have two sets of these tires - the first have been on my SUV for 5 winter seasons and never let me down. Tread wear has been excellent with the tires still showing 9.5mm after about 35,000KM. On the SUV they are a bit louder than my OEM all-seasons. The second set just went on my truck with decent handling and unnoticeable road noise. Again in terms of value they are the best bang for your buck. You can't go wrong with these quality Japanese tires.
Thanks for the feedback "m32313"!
Best darn winters ever
Never used winters and started with these 5 years ago...the best, will keep buying them
Thanks for the feedback "BaggyPants".
TOYO G3 ICE
This is my first set of winter tires ever, even though I've been driving over 35 years and there are very good tires. I have had zero issues with them and they perform excellent in all weather conditions, especially in wet snow. No slipping or sliding anymore. I would recommend these tires to everyone.
BEST TIRES!!
You can never go wrong with TOYO tires! I have G3-ice tires on my Subaru and a set of GSI-6 on my chevy truck. Love them both and I have just have good things to say about them. Treadwear is the best I have seen in my car life and the traction never lets you down! G3-ICE are a softer then the GSI-6 so the handling is a little less stiff and a little more noise then the GSi-6, thats why I gave them good instead of excellent. but they are cheaper. I run them on my Subaru because I like studded tires on that car.
Thanks for sharing your experience "Tristan396". We're assuming that you would, indeed recommend our Observe line of winter tires.
These tires do NOT PERFORM. I fear for my life and will get different ones ASAP
Note: I am a professional driver with excellent driver training which I practice. I drive in serious Alberta Canada winter weather conditions on remote highways and unplowed city streets where I may not come across another person for a long time. Top performing tires are integral to survival in extreme winter conditions: Blizzards, -50°C, black ice, compact ice, slick wet ice, all the different kinds of snow you can think of at different depths. Living in these conditions requires a tire that can handle it all because life doesn't stop when a winter storm hits. I I bought my first set of G3 Studded Ice tires in 2017 for my brand new Fiat 500. The first set were absolutely amazing. My car never got stuck and it is a low profile car. I drove through unplowed snow congested roads where big 4x4 trucks were getting stuck. Because I had amazing performance tires I never once got stuck. I said to my mechanic "These are the ONLY tires I ever want to put on my car in winter " they are proven solid ice tires. I just replaced my original set on Weds Nov 3, 2022 with a new set of factory G3-Studded Ice tires for the same Fiat. I had a 740km drive to work the next day and the region had just had it's first snow storm. For half the drive the roads were absolutely horrible due to thick compact ice as well as black ice. These tires did NOT perform AT ALL. From the moment I drove out of my driveway which only had powdered 9-10 inches of snow and nearly level ground, I had no traction what so ever. My car slid out of the driveway. Soon as I was on any kind of ice I had no control of my vehicle. Going down inclines my car just slid down them. I had to pray my car would stay on the road. I had to drive at a crawl just to keep my car on the road. It was like driving with my Summer tires. If it hadn't been for work I would have turned around. I did not feel safe and I lost all confidence in the tires. I'm concerned about my drive home Nov 20th 2022, and if I could I would trade my tires in before heading home. I pray I dont die in a car wreck going home as the odds are not in my favor with the way these tires are not performing in the winter conditions the highways are in. I will be contacting Toyo to see what can be done before my trip home but will see.
We sorry to hear about your experience "None". Rest assured this is not typical. We've emailed you to get additional details but have not received a response back.
Qualité médiocre
La qualité de pneu vraiment médiocre (TOYO Observe G3-ICE-215-70-16, le concessionnaire Hyundai Anjou a placé jeu de pneus des TOYO neuf , après seulement 2 mois la bordure de pneu contenu un micro-micro fuite....je suis très déçu pour ce genre de pneu qui coute vraiment cher 170$ /pneu.
Se produit est vraiment bon qualité prix.
Vraiment très satisfait. Bonne traction dans la neige et sur glace. Vraiment impressionnant. Me sens en sécurité !
