Toyo Tires 138140 Observe G3-Ice 225/50R17 94T Winter Tire

The Toyo Observe G3-Ice is engineered for drivers who demand reliable performance in severe winter conditions. This studdable winter tire combines advanced traction technologies with a comfortable, quiet ride, making it an ideal choice for regions that experience harsh winters with ice and heavy snowfall.

Advanced Winter Compound Technology:

The Observe G3-Ice features a softer, high-silica compound formulation that keeps tread blocks flexible even in extreme cold. This ensures consistent wet braking performance and responsive handling when temperatures drop below freezing.

Key Performance Features:

• Optimized Stud Hole Placement: Strategic positioning of stud holes maximizes road contact and traction while using fewer studs than conventional designs, resulting in reduced road noise and a quieter cabin experience
• Large U-Shaped Tread Blocks with Saw-Tooth Edge: Aggressive tread block design grabs onto snow and ice for enhanced traction and shorter braking distances in winter conditions
• Gear Edge Design at Stud Holes: Specialized geometry around each stud hole location delivers improved grip during cornering maneuvers and hard braking
• MicroBit Technology: Ground walnut shells embedded in the compound bite into snow and ice surfaces, providing an environmentally-friendly solution for enhanced traction
• High Density 3D Multi-Wave Sipes: Three-dimensional sipe technology increases tread block rigidity while creating additional biting edges for superior ice traction during acceleration, cornering, and braking

The Observe G3-Ice can be studded for maximum ice traction in the most severe winter climates, or run stud-free for excellent all-around winter performance. Size 225/50R17 with a 94T service rating provides reliable load capacity and speed performance for a wide range of passenger vehicles.
