Best Tires for the Toyota Matrix XR

I live in Toronto and often drive a couple hours north in the winter. My daily driver is a 2010 Toyota Matrix. I previously had a set of Blizzak WS90. The WST1 are great tires in all conditions. I also have a set of Sailun all seasons that I use from spring to fall. I bought my winters 5 winters ago and when it came time to remove them in the spring, I knew they would need replacing this winter so, I left them on all summer. They now have very little tread left and it snowed this weekend. Surprisingly, they were still better than any all seasons in the snow with almost no tread left. I just ordered a set of WSTX so we'll see how they are. I highly recommend Sailun tires, both their all seasons and winters. I also recommend that if you drive in a place that has winter driving conditions, do yourself a favor, put a set of winter tires on. They could save your life. I'm both a racecar driver, having raced formula cars, sedans including ice racing.. I'm also a professional driver coach.

When I bought these in 2009, supplies of winter tires were at an all-time low due to a Canadian law requiring all cars to have snow tires recently enacted. I bought whatever was still in stock (tracmax). They were decent in light snow for about 3 years. In heavy snow, they slide and slip as summer tires would. With only 20,000 miles, they have worn down to the wear bars. Deeply disappointed in overall quality. Going with a much better tire: General Altimax RT43 now.

these tires absolutly exeeded my expectations! these literly went through hell and are still going i ambuying both my parents a set for there cars and i would reccomend these to anyone. purchased at Tire discounter in orangeville ontario
