Toyo Celsius
WatchSpecially developed to excel in all common weather conditions, the Celsius is very much a 'master of all trades,' offering year round safety and comfort, plus the confidence to brake in all weathers. Not that this broad spread of abilities equates to limited, merely average performance overall – far from it! Indeed, the Celsius' carefully formulated compound means that it's just as at home on wet, slippery roads as it is on sun-baked tarmac, and these traits make it ideal for fitment to the vast majority of UK cars.

Top 3 Toyo Celsius Reviews
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 metres with your hands off the steering wheel . . . it's a great tyre 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 tyre 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 tyres 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 tyre (each wheel is balanced with just 10 to 15 grams of weights in total). Most other tyres we've owned (Bridgestone/Goodyear) required 30 to 50 grams in wheel weights.
We're due to get some new tyres 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 tyre size we need. Tyre Leader, Mytyres, Black Circles, Camskill and even a local tyre fitter who specialises in Toyo tyres 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!
What an awesome tyre!
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.
Latest Toyo Celsius Reviews
They replaced 4 Uniroyal RainExpert tyres which were very worn-out. Apart from the fact that they were noisier, the
worn-out Uniroyal tyres were much better than the brand new Toyos.
Positive: -they are quiet
-quite comfortable, although not as comfortable as you would expect from such a soft sidewall
Negative: -slow steering response and poor grip on dry, wet and snow
-very long braking distances in all conditions
-very soft sidewall which gives awful handling characteristics
-imprecise steering with very little steering feel
-unstable feel at all speeds, dangerous almost. In corners, the back end is all over the place
-the car is leaning much more into corners, compared with other tyres
It may sound harsh, but this is my honest experience.
I am replacing them after 10000 miles, even if they seem to have tread left for another ~15000 miles.
There is nothing wrong with the car, these are the first tyres that made the car behave like this.
The results are the same with any tyre pressure.
I know that you can buy Toyo Celsius tyres made in different countries.
These 4 have written on the sidewalls: Made in Japan.
Price was also the lowest 200euros installed. I would definitely buy them again.
