vs
Tires OEM Toyota or LANDSAIL
Reviews
i’ve got a 2.5 gen so i can’t say much on sizing, but check out land sail. i got ls588 UHPs on mine and ive never had a quieter, smoother ride with insane grip for sub $100 a tire.
Pros: quieter, smoother ride
Part number: LS588
i have landsail ls588 Ultra High Performance tires on mine 245/40 R18s. good price and very quiet while having insane grip
Pros: good price, very quiet
I’ve been using them for a few years now and we’ve currently got them on a Mazda 6 and a Saab 9-3 and they’re fine. Mine are rated B in the wet and I’ve had zero problems with them.
Pros: rated B in wet, performs well
Cons: longer stopping distances
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mine is so great in the city, can whip a U-turn anywhere and gets 30-35 MPG no matter how you drive it. I am kind of sad you can't get cars like this anymore, but it is kind of hard to justify when something that's an order of magnitude more refined is only like $1500 more. But there is something fun about ripping around in something 153" long that only weighs 2300 lbs. It never needs brakes and doesn't eat up tires no matter how "spiritedly" I drive.
Pros: great in the city, fun
Cons: small, unrefined
Vehicle:
Toyota Yaris
I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.
Pros: handles fine in winter
Cons: burns more fuel
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
We've just been through the worst winter in many years and our matrix has done very well with the factory tires. If you're not going off road fwd is fine. The deepest unplowed snow I drove through was about 8 inches and I felt like that was pushing it.
Pros: done very well
Cons: pushing it at 8 inches

Toyota Matrix
Landsail tires are cheap Chinese tires... I'd replace them as soon as is financially reasonable and possible, as I wouldn't trust my life to Chinese tires.
Cons: cheap, untrustworthy
My R32 came with 4 matching 'new' tyres. They were made by 'Landsail' which apparently is a premium chinese brand... yeah ok... but anyway took it for first MOT a few weeks later and they phoned me up soon after saying I was lucky to still be on the road. The inner walls of the two rear tyres had almost completely perished, held on by threads almost.
Cons: inner walls perished
