Very happy with the tires and I waited for the first snowfall to review. Great traction and work perfectly on my Volvo XC40. Very happy with the full experience with Tiredirect and will highly recommend the team.

The Toyo Observe G3-Ice was designed for the toughest weather conditions. It combines the 3 peak mountain/snowflake certification with optional metal studs to provide the ultimate range of traction and performance. Microbit technology improves traction as ground walnut shells dig and bite into frozen materials while its high silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in low temperatures for better traction and braking. The Observe G3-Ice has optimized stud hole placement allowing for less studs and reduced stud noise.

The 285/45R22 Toyo Observe G3-Ice has a diameter of 32.1", a width of 11.2", mounts on a 22" rim and has 647 revolutions per mile. It weighs 40 lbs, has a max load of 2601 lbs, a maximum air pressure of 50 psi, a tread depth of 12/32" and should be used on a rim width of 9-10.5".

Driver's Side Door Sticker Example

When upsizing or downsizing tires/wheels always refer to your original equipment tire size. Correct tire and wheel information can usually be found on the inside of the driver’s side door on a sticker. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that this information is correct prior to placing the order in order to qualify for Fitment Guarantee.

If you choose not to provide your vehicle information, or chose to skip Fitment Check, when placing an order our Fitment Guarantee is not applicable.

Once we receive your order our first priority is to check fitment. This is done by our fitment team that employs various methods and manufactures databases to check fitment. We may come to the conclusion that the products you have ordered will not fit your described vehicle. In this case, you will be notified and will be provided with alternative options. If you still feel confident about your original purchase and want to proceed with the order as is, we will ship it to you with a disclaimer to that effect and such order is not covered by our Fitment Guarantee Policy. If you need to return the order we will issue an in-store credit only and it’s subject to our Return/refund policy.

Since we don’t have your vehicle present to physically qualify it for fitment we rely on our collective experience and expertise, and consult numerous fitment sources to make approve fitment. Due to mechanical wear and tear of a vehicle, tires and/or wheels may not fit as intended. It is impossible to take these factors into account when verifying fitment. Therefore, on rare occasions when a customer claims the product does not fit we reserve the right to refuse such a claim based on our previous experience with the same vehicle and/ or manufacturers fitment data available to the public. In such cases we will request pictures showing the issues with fitment and will assess the claim on a case by case basis. If the claim for a fitment guarantee is denied our Return/refund policy will apply.

The 100% Fitment Guarantee claim will be denied in these circumstances:

  • The vehicle description chosen or described by the customer is not complete, inaccurate or wrong.

  • The vehicle is not listed when order is placed.

  • The vehicle is listed on the manufacturers website as an approved fitment but the customer or the installer claims the product does not fit.

  • The manufacturer representative has qualified the product as an approved fit for your described vehicle but the customer or the installer claims that the product doesn’t fit.

  • The order was not approved for 100% Fitment Guarantee and the order was shipped with the disclaimer to that effect

  • The order was approved as a fitment based on the previously filled orders for exact same vehicle and product shipped (we keep such data) but the product didn’t fit due to the mechanical wear and tear.

*Please note, you are responsible for a safe keeping and handling of the order that is under our Fitment Guarantee policy. If the order is returned and we determine that the product was damaged, this voids the Fitment Guarantee policy. The refund will then be issued as per our return/refund policy.
