I got some Toyo Extensa HP II’s for the summer/fall/spring from the former, delivered to my doorstep. I then got the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 at Costco and got them installed at location. I’m pretty happy with both tires.
What tires do you have? Factory All Terrain tires (and all AT tires) make more noise. The factory AT tires have been known to drone more when the mileage is higher. Rotating your tires can help for a while.
Bought Toyo Celsius 2 and they are amazing. Quiet, handles well on snow and 60,000 miles.
The best dedicated High-Performance Snows I ever had were Toyo Observe Garit KX in 225-50-17 on my old MK VI R. The colder it got, the better they gripped.
I just order TOYO tires then pay a shop to install and balance. I rotate myself and save the extra money aside for any damage/repairs I might need later. it's financially worked out to my gain over the last decade and several sets of all season and winter specific tires.
Nankang AR1’s are absolutely amazing but I wouldn’t recommend driving on them in anything but completely dry weather as they’re basically a road legal semi slick.
I’m a novice driver that has a total of 3 HPDE days on this set of tires. 2000 S2000, Nankang AR1 255 rear and 225 front. I had it aligned last year, with 1/4” toe in as per specs and most recommendations for the AP1 S2K. As you can see, my front tires have minimal wear compared to the rears. On track the lack of rear grip vs front is quite noticeable. There isn’t any wheel spin out of corners, the rear is just loose and twitchy in mid-high speed corners. I’m wondering if that’s why the rear wear is so much higher.
I went through first winter in Toronto with the stock Toyos since I got the car right before winter and it handled snow like a piece of cake and I didn’t feel like I would ever get stuck. You’d have to replace them early anyway, they don’t last much.
Sunt un cacat btw, nu va luati.
Ovaj sa 1.2 mi se redovito klizao kad bi pala kisa na ljetnom setu.Toyo,klizao se ko lud...To sam bacil
