Tires Toyo or BRIDGESTONE
I have the Bridgestone Weather Peaks and I love them. I drive mainly in Oklahoma and Texas and see a large variety of weather and terrain and have never had an issue at all. They are rock solid in the wet and do very well off-road as well. I didn't take a mileage hit like you see with the Falkens either. I average about 2,800 miles a month in my 21 premium and these have performed way beyond my expectations.
I trusted my Blizzack tires in Alaska way more then I trusted studded tires. Very often studs are thrown into tires that are sub standard tires on snow and ice.
245 35 20, Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Not the best wet tyre, but great for street driving and will last..220 Treadwear you should get around 30-40,000km our of a set.
Ie enjoyed Toyo proxy sports
My 2016 came with OEM Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422 tires, and when I replaced them I went with the "Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422 PLUS" versions (only difference is that they are supposed to have slightly longer tread wear longevity.....) and I've been happy enough with them. No statistical efficiency tests, but they appear to be working about the same as the OEM non-plus models.
I went with the Toyo Extensa HP II because it was a good compromise on price/efficiency/grip/noise. My biggest complaint with the OEM tires was that they hydroplaned worse than any tire I’ve had on a car since the 80s and these Toyos are much better. Range is down, maybe, 2-5%, maybe more on longer drives at speed, but EVERYTHING else about these tires is leagues better…ride, handling, noise, braking…everything.
I have Bridgestone tires on my bike(Harley Fat Boy 114).
Very grippy in the corners, rear tire hooks up to the pavement for launches increadibly well.
7000miles on the tires and the middle still has a ton of tread life left.
I bought the same Bridgestone model after the OEMs on my wore down. Made sure to get a proper weight rating and it was way better than the OEMs.
No but I’ve had the Toyo M/T’s. Both started cracking in between the treads after 2 years. The Road Noise was low.
Whatever you do, don't buy Toyo tires. They do not go well with the Sonic....worst traction of any tire I've ever had on a car in my 45 years of driving.
