Review on Toyo Observe G3-Ice 235/45 R17 94 winter by Micha Chmielewski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

Smooth and silent, asphalt is ideal for driving. It's great for rowing in the snow and doesn't get too clogged up. Fair on ice, with a rather robust crawl on the ice primer. Dreadful in the muck. Careful driving is required since a skid causes the tread to fill with dirt and the rubber to become slick, like summer tires. Front-wheel drive 1.6 tonne Km missing portions of 10-15 spikes (on drive axle), yet tread is like new; horrible studding; noisy ride. The spikes on the brand new tires were uneven and angled. Never in my life have I seen something like that If you do not plan on driving, this tire is a decent value for the money. I wouldn't buy another one until the next time.

Pros
  • Cheap. Quiet. Pretty.
Cons
  • Subterranean stud. Don't take it for a spin if the roads are muddy.
