TOYO Tires

Toyo winter tires

Toyo winter tires include the Observe models as well as one more that is specially designed for commercial vans. Here are the four available Toyo winter tire models:

• Observe G3-Ice
• Observe GSi-5
• Observe GSi-6
• Open Country WLT1

All Observe tires have the Microbit technology integrated into the compound, which utilizes ground nutshells, and provides them with increased grip levels on all slippery surfaces. The directional treads have wide grooves, which allow water to be evacuated quickly and efficiently, lowering risks of aquaplaning.

As a base model you will find the G3-Ice, which is available in two versions: studdable, or factory studded. It adapts to your needs, especially if your daily driving experience requires driving on snowy or icy roads.

The GSi-5 model adds the Arrow Lift technology, in the shoulder, as well as an evolved sipe technology, which help your vehicle remain stable in conditions such as slush and snow, or in ruts.

Finally, the GSi-6 comes in three versions:

• GSi-6 for small cars and SUVs;
• GSi-6 HP for performance cars;
• GSi-6 LS for bigger SUVs and trucks.

This is the most performant of the Observe models, allowing it to grip onto all surfaces, thanks to the advanced technologies that have been integrated into its design.

Last but not least, the Toyo Open Country WLT1 tire is specially designed for vehicles that are made to carry heavy loads. It is a heavy-duty winter tire with increased durability, thanks to a deeper sculptural tread.

About Toyo tires & FAQ

Created in 1945 in Japan, the Toyo tire brand opened its doors in Canada in 1982. During the 80s, Toyo became quite popular on racetracks, thanks to performance tires of exceptional quality.

Not only has this enabled Toyo to gain an outstanding reputation, but today, Toyo has become synonym with high-quality well designed tires for everyday life as well. If Toyo use to be known as the leader in competitions, Toyo is also now known as a leader in innovation.

In fact, Toyo utilizes technologies such as a tire tread compound that incorporates nutshells. This is a solution that not only provides added traction, it also profits from a renewable resource, which means it is ecofriendly as well. All it requires is collecting shells from nuts already being used in the food industry.

The same can be said about utilizing bamboo carbon to limit slipping: this resource is not only renewable, it also grows at remarkable speed. As you can see clearly, the environment is at the heart of Toyo’s philosophy.

Where are Toyo tires made?

Today, the Japanese brand’s Canadian head office is situated in Richmond, British-Colombia. Tires that are stored there come from a factory located in White, Georgia (USA) that supplies tires to both the United-States and Canada. This American factory produces over 2 million tires a year!

Are Toyo tires good tires?

Toyo tires are very good tires. Originally, their reputation came from racing amateurs, thanks to their excellent performance on race tracks. Later, they developed base, mid-range and luxury models that all integrate cutting-edge technologies; these are the result of several years of experience and expertise.

Amongst these numerous innovations, you will find the integration of nutshells in winter tire rubber compounds. For this reason and many others, every year, Toyo tires are found at the top of “best tire” lists and are held in high esteem by tire specialists.

To name just one example, the GSi-6 winter tire, was awarded the title of best 5 2021 winter tires by the Auto Guide. Respected automobile journalists, like those who write for Auto 123, also name Toyo tires as best summer and 4 season tires.

Do Toyo tires offer a warranty?

Of course. Toyo tires are covered by the Millennium warranty, which includes a warranty for manufacturing and material defects, as well as a limited warranty for wear and tear.
