Tires Toyo or BRIDGESTONE
I've had my new CX-5 Signature for 2 weeks. When I drove it home, and then for the next day or so, the ride was very rough. It wasn't what I thought I'd bought. I then checked tire pressures - all were at 50 psi. Evidently either the prep guys filled them that high, or they didn't reduce them to the sticker-recommended 35 psi. After setting them at the recommended pressure, the ride is great.
I was always a Michelin buyer because they were consistently quiet and long lasting offering excellent all around performance. 20,000 mikes ago I replaced the OEM tires on my Mk7 Jetta R-Line with the Turanza Quiettrack and am pleased without any regrets.
I run my Toyo RT E at 38psi cold-
I've been running 35 since I got the new tires (25K miles ago) and they're wearing fantastically and I get 21mpg, so take it with a grain of salt. I don't like high pressure as it makes the ride jarring.
Costco put on a set this (2021) spring but it is too soon to know much. They ride quiet and straight (we also did an alignment). Note: to keep the Costco warranty, you must go back within a week or so to have them re-torque the nuts.
I have a 2017 and have used Ecopia tires from day one. Original tires lasted me two years and over 60,000 miles. The current set has 40,000 and still going very strong. I average 50 mpg so they seem to be working well in all facets of their job.
I've had really good times with my Toyo Observe snow tires on my Audi. I don't really notice the noise from them and they are great in everything but straight ice.
I put the same size on my wife's 2014 except Toyo Open Country AT3. Absolutely love them.
FWIW I am also in Oregon and have found the the Indy 500s inferior to the OEM Bridgestones in the dry, but better in most other respects.
Definitely a great wet tire - though my wheel hop is back despite the RMM. On a very wet onramp (99E SB to 224... aww yeah) I was able to hold a 4 wheel drift, pretty cool for a FWD car. But the turn-in still feels a little too..... normal.
Mine came with Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS, and I hate them.
