    So I just wanted to add to this thread. After over a year of having the tires, they're still amazing in the second season.
     
    It's been a really slippery season this year and these Toyos have done extremely well on the slippery roads.

    Hey guys! I recently purchased a full set of Toyo GSI 5 studless tires for my Crossroad, and they're the best set I've ever used on a vehicle. They are, in my opinion, the best for SUVs. Awesome deep tread, tons of room for snow and slush to escape. More aggressive looking. 
     
    However, I did downgrade from 225/55 R19 to the 225/65 R17 for the bigger sidewalls. 
     
    Snow grip - 5
    Ice grip - 4 1/2
    Handling - 5
    Noise - 4 (in town) 3 (highway)
     
    Living in the cold snowy reaches of northern Canada, the stock Kuhmo all-weather tires on the 2016 DJ are no good, you might as well be falling off a cliff when you try to stop on a spit of ice with those tires. They couple extremely well with the AWD feature, making driving in heavy snow and slippery ice a breeze! Just don't forget to drive for the conditions. Blazing through a snow packed slippery tight corner at 60mph is gonna land you in the ditch even if you have the best tires in the world!
     
    Highly recommend taking a look at them.

    And if you live in Manitoba I highly suggest getting them on the MPI Winter tire program ( https://www.mpi.mb.ca/en/Rd-Safety/Winter-Tires/Pages/winter-tire-program-overview.aspx ) as the total cost of steel rims, tires, tpms, and installation was $1950CAD, and the program will cover up to $2000CAD. I probably could have found a better price online but no one in town other than my local dealership had decent pricing. Plus I didn't want to pay freight on tires. 
     
    Will post pics after I get off work!

    You definitely should have chosen a different vehicle if you need it to perform in those conditions and want to equip it with all that stuff. You will find none of that specifically for the DJ.
