I personally use 205/50r16 Firestone Winterforce 2's on my MK7 for Iowa Winters, it's a great tire and I've had little issues with it.
FWIW I'm just now replacing my oem toyo tires with 33k miles on the odometer.
Atualmente no meu Kia só uso Toyo, são bons e tem uma particularidade, são silenciosos no rolamento, coisa que se nota bem neste ED SW.
Toyo tires are not flimsy. Many amateur race track drivers run them on their modified/performance cars. It's a premium performance brand, actually. I ran over a dozen sets to Toyo tires on my BMW and Audi cars for many years when I was doing track days.
I went from a Toyo Celsius in the stock 225/60/R17 to these bad boys in 225/65/R17. Gained an inch of tire and they really fill the wheel wells now. No rubbing and a very smooth and quiet ride
I currently have Firehawk AS V2's on mine. I live in an area that gets all four seasons, and they've served me well in the rain and snow/ice. I'm sure I'm sacrificing some summer performance, but that's pretty far from my priority. No issues with excessive wear or tire noise
I just put them on in January and so far I like them a lot. We got less snow than normal, but they were very good in what snow we got. At first they were noisy on my Tacoma Pickup, I have E rated tires, but after a couple thousand miles they got quiet.
Airing up tires would be about the only thing I'd trust Firestone with and it would have to be free to even trust them that much.
Late but I don't recomend these even with a good name that toyo has. These are made cheaply and slips in wet. I have 195/50r15 and these slip with my weak 90whp car. These tires are perfect sliding tho as in warm it provides medium grip, and in wet it's makes you feel like you have 200hp haha. I wouldn't recommend for grip. Decent commuter tire tho for the price.
My TOYO proxxes dry rotted in one year
