The Celsius II is Toyo's Grand Touring All-Season tire engineered for drivers of sedans, CUVs, and SUVs looking for a versatile platform able to adapt to a variety of conditions while providing a smooth, quiet ride. The Celsius II meets industry severe snow service requirements for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol and as an all-weather tire, is designed to be a single tire solution for drivers in environments that experience all four seasons, but don't receive sufficient snowfall to require a dedicated winter tire.

Celsius II callouts

The Celsius II's updated polymer blend is molded into an asymmetric tread pattern to provide optimal performance in variable conditions. The outside portion of the pattern features larger, more solid tread elements and carefully positioned multi-wave sipes to improve dry traction while minimizing irregular wear. The full-Silica compound is designed to enhance performance when the weather turns wetter and has been optimized for snow, maintaining flexibility and grip in cold climates. The Celsius II's inner tread features zigzag tread blocks and high sipe density to provide the necessary biting edges for grip in snowy or icy conditions, and snow claws buried in the tire's circumferential grooves dig into snow to maintain traction.

Internal construction of the Celsius II features a high-stiffness polyester casing supporting two high-tensile steel belts for satisfying handling characteristics and stability. The nylon, jointless cap ply provides reinforcement to help maintain uniformity and provide high-speed performance.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

Toyo Celsius II Reviews

Feedback consistently shows the Toyo Celsius II delivers excellent comfort with smooth ride quality and low noise levels. Treadwear receives strong praise (8-10 range), though some note earlier-than-expected wear. Winter traction stands out with confident performance in snow and slush, supported by reliable wet grip and hydroplaning resistance. Dry handling is responsive, fitting its grand touring role. While most categories score highly, a few reports of uneven treadwear suggest monitoring alignment and rotation practices for optimal longevity.

...Wet handling very good but I can bust the tail loose if I try. Has not hydroplaned yet, and I run 75-80 on I-95...

I've had these tires for about 1 year, and I'm very satisfied with them. Primarily local & highway driving. Great dry traction & handling. Wet handling very good but I can bust the tail loose if I try. Has not hydroplaned yet, and I run 75-80 on I-95. Very quiet and comfortable ride. Tire wear so far has been very good. Definitely a quality product and a good purchase. Had Michelin Defenders on it before, and the Toyo's are better.

Definitely worth it! Unparalleled handling on snow and ice, I don’t think a dedicated winter tire would do better. Stops and starts are literally easy and confident on ice and snow. Toyo never disappoints!

...Grip was confidence-inspiring in everyday driving in NE winter, and even when pushing the chassis harder than most people would in a Corolla, I never encountered unexpected breakaway or traction issues...

I installed Toyo Celsius II on a base FWD Toyota Corolla, but didn’t accumulate many miles because I sold the car shortly after. That said, during my time with them they exceeded expectations.

Compared to Michelin Defender I replaced with Celsius II, ride quality was a clear upgrade, much quieter and noticeably more plush over rough pavement. Grip was confidence-inspiring in everyday driving in NE winter, and even when pushing the chassis harder than most people would in a Corolla, I never encountered unexpected breakaway or traction issues. For an all-weather tire in this category, the balance of comfort and control was impressive.

The compound feels relatively soft, so long-term wear and durability remain unknown. Pricing is not particularly competitive without rebates. Overall, I was very happy with the tires and wish I had more time on them.

These are a wonderful all weather tire combining a smooth, quiet ride, great traction regardless of conditions, and great wear. They also don't lose traction like other more expensive tires do when they start wearing.
