Tires Toyo or DUNLOP
Idk bout your year, but I have 305s on my 2014, Toyo proxes 888r, hook like hell
I've preferred the Toyo GSI-6 HP on my "sporty" AWD sedan for road feel and spirited driving. This isn't an issue I've had with the Toyo since getting them 2 winters ago.
Years ago they cross-threaded several of my bolts with an air wrench. Recently I tried them again however as they had better pricing than any other shop in town. Got a great deal on some Toyos. They did good work - no issues since.
My favourites are actually a Toyo that incorporates walnut shells into the rubber. I know it sounds ridiculous but having compared and tried a few, including the blizzaks, they were noticeably better in all winter conditions than anything else. For context, mine were put on a Sonata and I called them squid pelts because of the grip they provided.
I've run the Toyo GSi 6 HP for a while and it's been really good, I would prefer maybe a bit more ice traction at intersections polished by idiots flooring it and turning it into a skating rink.
The OEM Toyo A36 tires on my car started cracking badly at just 39,600 miles. After driving just 12 miles on the new Pirellis, here’s my honest take:
They are NOT any quieter than the Toyos.
I’m hearing pretty much the same road noise I had with the OEMs.
I ran these on my ‘19 tundra for 55k miles, they were still in decent condition but had a little dry rot and eventually got a massive puncture so I just upgraded to 35’s Toyo open country R/T trail tires
Even expensive tires can be cheap sometimes depending on how they were manufactured. I got a soft tire once and it wore the treads down super fast on just one tire. I rotated them multiple times and it was always the same tire wearing down.
It was a Toyo Geomancer, the tires were fine and looked nice but that one tire was definitely defective.
I'm not sure if it's luck or they just suck, but within 6k miles of owning my mazda, I've had 2 toyo tires with sidewall problems. I never had any issues on my Michelins
Mine started getting noisy after like 20k miles. I replaced them with some crappy laufen tires lol
