Continental 235/55R19 101H CON WINTERCONTACT TS 850P SSR FR

These almost need 2 rating categories. Overall they look great and are one of the best all terrain tires I've found, and I've tried numerous over the past 20+ years. Price is very competitive and it seems like nearly every size imaginable is offered. I put about 15,000 miles on these, a good portion of it off road, the first 60 days I've had them and they still look practically brand new. I've read a few reviews of people trashing them quickly and that doesn't seem like it's going to be an issue based on what I've seen so far. They do noticeably break in and get quieter IME, more so than I was expecting, but considering how chunky they are, they are still a very quiet tire from the start. My brother ended up getting a set after he tested mine out as well. For off road, I'd pretty much give these 5 stars across the board for an all terrain tire. They're obviously not going to clear mud like a MT tire but for an all around tire, these are great. The tread blocks are large and these just do what they're supposed to. Have no issues running with reduced pressure on stock rims either. For on road, I feel they leave quite a bit on the table. My main complaint is they are really flexible. I got the normal load rated tires, so maybe the heavier ones address this better, but the sidewalls have noticeable lateral flex even at low speeds when turning. It's not enough that I find it to be a safety issue but I could feel it immediately, and this was coming from some inferior Hankook's that were on their last leg. So, with that in consideration, if you drive mostly on a dry road, these are probably not what I would recommend especially if you have high speed limits in your area. If you spend a bunch of time on dirt and snow and want something all around more chunky than an all season tire, I can't think of another tire in the price range I would recommend over these.

I've run Open Country A/Ts for the past 12 years or so, both AT2s and AT3s, and, overall, I've been happy with the tires. I live in Maine so the weather conditions that I drive in range anywhere from hot and dry summer roads (pavement and dirt), to rain-soaked highways, to heavy snow and slush back roads. In general, these tires have performed well, feeling tight and planted (no sagging or floating feeling) in turns, relatively grippy in snow and wear evenly. I've been happy with their performance, which is why I've run them for so long. Unfortunately, my most recent set of Open Country AT3s have not held up. This winter I've noticed a marked decrease in winter weather performance, especially in slushy snow and even on packed snow (i.e. recently plowed) roadways. And when it comes to any sort of ice, forget about it. During my most recent oil change/tire rotation, I was advised that my tires, despite only have approximately 40K miles on them, are down to about 4/32s. These tires were installed in Summer 2021, at 123,000 miles and I'm now sitting at roughly 164,000 miles in Feb 2024. Winter weather in Maine commonly runs through late March-early April so I will be replacing these tires in the next week so to make it through the rest of Winter without having to worry about slipping and sliding on my daily 35 mile work commute. Since I'll be switching to a set of Falkens, I won't be able to take Toyo up on their 65K Limited Mile Warranty guarantee, as they only provide a credit toward the purchase of another Toyo tire product. I just can't justify purchasing another set of Toyos with how these tires ones have held up.
