Default Are Toyo's "All Season"?

The wifes car has the Toyo tires on them. Are they an all season tire? We are below freezing at night and the first snow has already hit the hills nearby. Does anyone make ice/snow tires for the new ES?

Dave,

Go to Toyo.com they have a feature called tire recommender at top of home page that should help you with this info.

Hi,

It depends on the TOYO model as most manufacturers make both. Look at the tire for clues. Some clues might be "all weather" or the designation "M+S". Also, as the owner of the new Black/Cashmere ES350 has said, check the website for information. There should be a model designation on the tire.

My bet is the Toyo's are a summer tire, as Lexus seems to use Michelins for their all-season tire.

Thats my guess too. My first MSM ES350 had Toyo tires and the sticker says summer tires. My current ES350 has Michelin and the sticker says all-season tires.

The Toyo's are definitely summer tires. Better change them ASAP since summer tires are very dangerous to use in snow.
