Purchased x2 Goodyear Reliant All-Season 205/60R16 for my 01 Lexus ES300. Pretty good tire, very comfortable ride.
FWIW with regular rotations we got 35K out of my wife’s factory 20” Goodyear F1 tires.
Goodyear assurance weatherready 2. Similar design to cross climates, supposedly better, but they just came out in August so not a lot of test info from outside sources. I just got these put on today on my 25 palisade riding on 20’s and they are comfortable and quiet.
Toyo Proxes Sport on my MK3.5 1.5TDCi. Really surprised with the performance of the tires, car handles beautifully.
Just switched from the Nittos to the Toyos and am super happy. Haven't taken them off road yet, but on road they're surprisingly quiet.
From my experience with working with them, I would go with the Toyo. Seem to balance better and wear out more evenly than the Nitto's.
Waited a month with enough miles to report this, however when I went from stock 20s to 275/70/R18 BFG KO2s they more aggressive and heavier tire took 2.5-3 MPG of efficiency from my 21 PB. I got 45k miles from those tires and they were great. In need of new tires I did some research and always heard Toyos were pretty good. So I felt like mixing it up with a new tire. I learned that Toyo early this year came out with a version of the Open Country that is for electric vehicles. A month and 1500 miles later, including some long road trips camping and my regular city driving, I can say that my trip readings are actually 1.5 MPG improved.
I would take the RT45 over any Goodyear Assurance model, especially the Maxlife one which I hear people say has a LOT of road noise at highway speeds.
2022 Audi Q5. 25,000 miles and left rear had a broken belt and tread separation. Felt a vibration while going down the highway at 65mph. 1/4” separation about 1/3 of the way around the tire. Also with 25,000 tire wear sucked.
It was a terrible experience on stock suspension: extremely stiff, sluggish from standstill, and my mpg took a drastic hit. On one tank I went from averaging about 16.8 mpg to 13.5.
I ended up getting them switched out for the C load tires (255/75r17) and had a MUCH better experience. They drive nearly identical to the stock tires , mpg is back to low 16, and the ride has softened up.
