Winter tires Toyo Tipes have been produced by the concern of the same name since the mid-twentieth century. The company was born in the Japanese city of Osako. Today, this company is engaged not only in the production of tires, but also in automobile components and petrochemical products.
The company has an excellent material and technical base for the development of first-class tires, including testing grounds. The management of the concern uses all methods for advertising and promotion, so Toyo models can be seen at annual rallies, as well as other automobile competitions. Thanks to these participations, specialists are able to monitor the technical characteristics of the tires in operation, as well as use them for subsequent developments.
In 2008, a representative office of the Toyo company appeared in Russia with the aim of strengthening international relations, as well as promoting products in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
The company's specialists pay special attention to the development of tires for winter. It took many years to create a special mixture of rubber with the addition of silicon dioxide, due to which Toyo winter tires have become more practical, frost-resistant, reliable, and narrow sipes make the grip on the road stronger. According to owner reviews, Toyota Observer is the best model of winter tires for a Toyota Camry.
Description of popular models
Winter is one of the most difficult times of the year for motorists, especially in our country. The temperature regime over the past few years has left much to be desired. The weather “jumps”, causing sudden changes - from severe frosts to thaws. In such difficult conditions, Toyo winter tires show very good performance when driving on winter roads.
The Toyo company produces two modifications of winter tires:
- Toyo observe g 3 ice;
- Toyo observe gsi 5.
In the process of creating the rubber base, a special technology was used, in which natural material was added to the rubber mixture - crushed walnut shells. Thanks to this component, the tires have a high level of grip on snowy roads, since shell particles attract snow and bite into it with force. Both modifications are available, both studded and non-studded. Top sizes are available from r15 to 22. The most popular is radius 16. You can buy Toyo 205 55 r16 winter tires in Moscow from 4,200 rubles.
The composition of the Toyo observe gsi 5 rubber compound includes a special absorbent substance that does not allow moisture to interfere with movement, which is why the car confidently heads to its destination on a wet road. Reviews characterize the Toyo observe gsi 5 winter tires positively, noting its high driving performance, low noise levels, and excellent grip. 
Toyo observe g 3 ice winter tires, judging by reviews, have excellent track grip due to the special arrangement of grooves in the tread pattern. To develop the sketch, special computer technology was used, which made it possible to accurately distribute the location of the studs, which had the most favorable effect on the noise insulation qualities and the level of grip on the road.
Advantages and disadvantages
Following the reviews of owners about Toyo winter tires, the advantages of the model include:
- excellent grip on the road in any weather;
- the tires are safe while driving due to inclusions of walnut shells;
- high noise insulation properties.
Disadvantages include:
- does not always cope with the track at high speeds;

How to choose the right model
What the reviews say:
- The tire profile should not be too wide. The smaller it is, the more stable the car;
- what year the tires were produced - preference should be given to more modern models;
- Toyo Velcro winter tires should be used in regions where winter temperatures drop below 20 degrees. In regions with milder climates, studded winter tires are more suitable. This is confirmed by reviews from owners;
- It is best for city residents to use a “swoosh” shaped tread pattern, as then their grip on the road is higher;
- for trips on ice and in regions with unstable climates, it is best to use Toyo studded models;
- For residents of small towns, Toyo winter tires without studs are perfect.
