Toyo Observe G3 Ice Winter 175/70R14 84 T Tire

Amazing winter tires. Traction is as good as nokian Hakka's, better than blizzaks. The studs make the rubber last forever, even though they've worn down to where they don't help much on the sheer ice like they used to. I'd do it again with the steep icy roads we have. This will be my 5th winter on them and I'm amazed at how much tread is left even though I've driven them hard with an electric car, lots of high torque and acceleration and they've held up great. Starting to see some cracks in the rubber unfortunately, but that's to be expected after 5 years. I like to spray them with a rubber protectant and store them in plastic bags out of sunlight and it seems to help. Great tires!

I live in rural NH and have to leave for work at 4am so the roads are usually pretty bad for my commute. I've had these tires for 2 winters now and they are awesome! I got them studded and they are great on ice. Wet & heavy snow, a dusting, hard packed snow, slush, 3 feet of fresh snow, powder over ice, ice storms, these tires have not let me down. They reliably get me to work and home with no issues whatsoever. I would recommend them to anyone who needs winter tires!
