Tires Toyo or Achilles
I’ve been running Toyo Extensa hp2 on my Q 50 with 450 hp for about 3 years now and I’ve gone through two sets. They’re fucking incredible. I love them they grip they rip and they look good, great with the snow where I live and the wet and perfect for carving up on dry afternoons on back roads.
I drive my 240 daily to my job at a ski resort in the Rockies. I've had a number of different snow tires and really like my current Toyo Observe G-3's with studs. 2x 80lb sandbags in the trunk and it's a great performer, very predictable. The Toyo's are quiet as well.
Got the new Toyo Open Country AT III EV tires. They ride A LOT SMOOTHER.
I know this is an old thread but everyone in it was wrong. The Toyo’s are far in away better at dry grip than ps4s and better for track days as they are far less likely to chunk under heavy loads for multiple laps. It’s faster in the dry than a pilot sport 5 which is faster than a 4s.
UK and lots of those are available, I run Toyo R888s on my Elsie and they Road Legal (I sprint/hillclimb in a road legal class)
Stock tires lasted about 50-60k miles on all three of my lightnings. I went with the toyos for replacements. My lightning has 10-15k on the toyos now, they're great. Smooth, wearing nicely, quiet, good efficiency, good in snow and rain, etc.
I just bought the Toyo AT3 EVs earlier this week and I love them. Look great, haven’t noticed road noise and can’t wait for winter snow in these tires.
AT3s should go the distance but a lot softer tire I noticed. Got about 50k on mine but I had cupping due to alignment so I replaced them with probably 30% left.
However I think the biggest factor is these Toyo tires simply are not good tires. They are noisey. I am getting WAY to much noise on highway. Over 36 they are to stiff and noisey, they actually "howl" and even at 35 these Toyo just seem iffy.
Nothing. Worst all-season tire ever.
