Tires Toyo or NANKANG
Just got the Toyo Open Country RT Trails in LT 315 70R 17. Replaced my well worn Toyo AT IIs. They’re on my ‘17 JKU with 4 inch lift. I can tell you I hear no discernible difference from the AT IIs which had very little road noise either. The RTs feel great and look even better. I’ve not had them in the dirt yet but on pavement they’re excellent. I love them.
Toyo’s will balance better, but are a softer tread compound and will wear/chip quicker. Been having good luck with the Wildpeak’s here in Texas.
I’ve had Toyo OC, BFG TA/KO2+3, and went the FW AT4 now. Got about 9k on em…and they’re my favorite tire so far. Been on beach, mud, rain and frozen.
I myself drive Nankang AS2+ with the dimensions: 235/35 R19.
Apart from the less direct steering and a driving profile that is a little more geared towards comfort, I am very satisfied.
I have a great grip feeling and the rim protection is slightly wider than with the nexen nfera su1.
I am leaning toward my next set being Toyo GSI-6, for a few reasons. Namely, H speed rating (not that I go over the 104mph governed speed of a 2017 Prius Prime) and max pressure of 51psi rather than 44psi. I usually run at 50psi, and find tires only approved to 44psi to be only marginally acceptable to me.
Ohio here, get yourself a set of Toyo Celsius mileage phenomenal, traction phenomenal, ride is phenomenal
I don’t share the same disdain for them that everyone else on this sub though. Our CX-5+stock tires is still 10x quieter than the Honda Accord+Pirellis that it replaced.
In my limited experience with them i'd say that they are marginally better than Toyo's r888r over a single lap but require some tuning set up to not overheat.
My patience ran out around 3000 miles. I hated how vague they felt in the rain, and I was not interested in waiting until winter to see how much worse they’d be on snow and ice.
Tires (Toyo) are HORRIBLE and noisey garbage.
