The Toyo Celsius is an all-season touring tire that owners often rate highly for its quiet, comfortable ride and reassuring all-weather versatility, particularly in light-to-moderate snow. Many drivers report it can replace separate summer and winter sets for everyday use, with good tread life and consistent manners over time. However, independent testing repeatedly flags meaningful shortcomings in core safety metrics, especially wet braking and aquaplaning resistance, which temper its appeal despite the positive real-world feedback.

these are a good all weather tire, with no noise and excellent grip wet and dry summer and winter snow, snowflake designates all season which is conservative. I am no longer running two sets of seasonal wheels and tires. No noticable degradation in performance over time and distance.
Best tire I've ever had on my VW Golf MK2. Solid on the road, grip on rainy/ice roads. After 9 years and 25k miles, my Toyo tires shows dry rot and needs replacement.
What an awesome tire!

Bought 4 x Toyo Celsius in early 2022 and in April 2025 they have now covered nearly 40,000 miles and are down at 3mm tread depth all round having rotated them twice a year.
They've driven from Lancashire UK to France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden & Norway - almost 4,000 miles.
They have recently returned from a trip round France, Italy, Switzerland & Germany - 3,000 miles.
The Made-in-Japan Celsius delivers a smooth, comfortable, quiet ride that helps the miles pass by with ease.
They track a neat line round long corners without the need for minor corrections and it'll drive in a straight line for 100s and 100s of meters with your hands off the steering wheel . . . it's a great tire to drive long distances with. Minimal effort is required making it a relaxed touring companion.
In winter it's always gotten us home from wherever we've been. And we live in the hills where, come snowfall, 99% of people don't venture out in their cars. The deepest snow the tire has seen is about 4 to 6 inches and traction and braking were impressive. The aggressive tread design and traction claws obviously help inspire confidence in these conditions.
In the wet, standing water doesn't throw the car off line and motorway driving in heavy rain is surefooted.
Again, dry weather poses no issues for the tires which have seen +35deg C and the tread blocks have remained stiff enough for you to enjoy fast B-roads in the summer.
It's a well-engineered tire (each wheel is balanced with just 10 to 15 grams of weights in total). Most other tires we've owned (Bridgestone/Goodyear) required 30 to 50 grams in wheel weights.
We're due to get some new tires come October/November but we'll have to get a different brand because when I've looked Toyo Celsius are regularly unavailable in the UK in the tire size we need. Tire Leader, Mytires, Black Circles, Camskill and even a local tire fitter who specializes in Toyo tires can't get their hands on them.
I thoroughly recommend the Celsius if you're looking at Toyo as a potential purchase - assuming you can get hold of them!

These tires are far better than "standard" tires when it gets cold.
My wife's car has Cross Climates. I've previously had Nokian Weatherproof and Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons. All were notably better than the Toyo's. Not a world away, but better when the conditions get bad. They're not bad or dangerous or any nonsense that you read, but they're not as good as the ones I mentioned. Even with these, in a hatchback I've passed many 4x4s spinning on the wrong rubber. I bought on price and got what I paid for, good enough but not the best.
I'll leave them on until they wear, but will replace with better ones.
Best all season tires I've had on my car. No noise, no problem whatsoever. Nothing to say bad for normal consumer use. Never lost control on my car in any condition with the Toyo Celsius. Same goes for my family members who has been driving the car since early after their after their 18th birthday. First set lasted 60000 km. Second set on of Toyo Celsius on now. Prior had more expensive and cheap tires on. Toyo made the difference for me . On all 3 my cars I use Toyo all season tires.
I did very well with them, 21,000 thousand kilometers, I am generally happy and of course also with the price, the next time I change I will also try the new model
Tires are wearing out well. Over 10,000 km of city driving on them and the rear still has 8mm tread while the front has 6mm. Felt great even in the ice and snow. Not as grippy in the ice and snow as Blizzaks or Ice Guards but works well.
Purchased the Celsius CUV tires for 2019 Forester. At first tires seemed fine except for a more bouncy sidewall feel.
Over time noticed tires respond to raised bumps in front or back depending on tire rotation. No response from Toyo after two tries. Dealer could not duplicate complaint. Decided to replace tires because they do not seem to provide a stable feel. Previously had Celsius on Corolla and they were fine. Great snow performance not too good wet panic stopping. Otherwise no complaints. For V rated tire sidewall does not seem to match expectations of ride quality.
We have 2 Suzuki swifts, both with these tires. The Suzuki has a tire size that few manufacturers cater for in all season tread. If you want an all season tire I can highly recommend them. Rain, snow, sun greasy roads..they perform well. Good lateral grip and even with the beast from the east we weren't stranded.
Yes, there may be better performing tires but in this size I can think of no better option.
They can spin on wet junctions but with a bit of expectation they are fine.
A great all rounder and have lasted 3 years without issue.
Will definitely buy these Japanese tires for my Japanese car again.
