any experience with Les Schwab Toyo winter tire?

While I have always been impressed with Les Shwab as a business, to the best of my knowledge, none of their tires are Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) So you will take a large gas mileage hit.

Nokian WRG2

is an example of a LRR snow tire

 

You can save a bundle by purchasing the Michelin X-Ice Xi2 or Xi3 today at Discount Tire/America's Tire Center. They are offering a $100 rebate on the purchase of 4 tires AND Michelin has their $70 rebate going. The X-ice is a highly rated studless snow tire AND it is LRR.

 

Their website is kinda finicky. They can order them if they are not in stock in you area. America's Tire is their retail outlet so you can call one of those stores also.

 

Well they have them. I got a great deal on a set of 4 with 4 winter wheels for $520 after all the rebates! The additional benefit is the ATC/Discount Tire will always offer much better deals than LS does & they also give excellent service.

 

I purchased a set of these as well, but I haven't had them put on yet.
For me they came out a little cheaper than tirerack but with free tire swapping and saving $100 I couldn't complain.
Wish I could give you any real feedback, but that's what I went with.
Online reviews seemed pretty good on them though.

 

Yeah I did purchase the Toyos. I asked him specifically how they would compare to the new Ice'3 and he told me they would hold their own against any other studless tire.
I then asked the manager how the resistance rating was on them, I don't think he really knew what I was getting at but he did tell me they had a green rating.

I was going to get the Michelin's, I had them in my cart at tire rack, but at over $900 for wheels and tires before the rebate I just couldn't do it without check with Schwab first.
It was like $530 for the tires, and the steelies were $232.
I asked about tpms and cost of swapping tires.
They normally charge $55 each time but if you buy the tires from them and they are on their own wheels they do it for free everytime. TPMS they don't care and don't enforce it, he was like if you don't mind the light we don't mind doing it.
He said very few people actually get a second set of TPMS.
I figure up here we only have a few months when we really need them anyways, so to save money and get them swapped for free every time was worth it for me.
But they are holding the wheels and tires for me until a week from this Saturday, I didn't want to put them on too early.

 

$478? you suck lol... if that's mounted and balanced with tax that's pretty good, my price included all that as well.
I would be lucky to put 1500 miles on in a winter, but you never know, I don't pay much attention to my winter mileage just my annual. But with the Prius I am paying much more attention to everything.
I barely average about 5000 miles a year on my cars since I use my motorcycle as much as possible.

I thought we were going to get snow this week but then it warmed back up and now there is no snow in the forecast, so who knows.
So I will wait until the 10th to get my tires swapped, I would wait longer but that is all he said he would hold them for me lol.
Glad I could help.

 

Actually you can go through Discount Tire Direct & have them delivered to your door. I've done that too and had free shipping.

Nope, just my pile to wash. I fill up the hamper & then clean them. With 6 cars I use a lot of towels! I work in the medical field as an ESWL tech.
