Tires Toyo or WEST LAKE
I have 35” Toyo open country at3 and they don’t make any noticeable highway noise. The ride is a bit rougher, but my truck doesn’t look like a mail truck any longer. I also ditched my 20” platinum wheels for 17” wheels, not sure how that affects things
I barely upsized to 275/60/20 Toyo AT3 and have been very happy. They look more bigger/more aggressive without sacrificing ride quality or mpg.
I have a 2019 4Runner with Toyo OC AT3s. I have 50k on them and need to get them replaced before snow starts to fall. So far I have been pretty happy with them, road noise isnt too bad as long as the road surface is in good shape, they are a bit firm from a comfort level, MPG is still around 19-20, so no complaints there. The main thing that has me looking is I did loose lateral traction a couple times in packed snow/ice and I can never get out of my incline driveway in 2wd when its snowy.
I’ve got Toyo Celsius Sport on my iX (with 22s), and they’ve been tremendous. I’m in New England, so we have mostly greasy, heavy wet snow, but they’ve felt totally planted and solid for me - I imagine they’d perform well in light, fluffy snow as well, but I honestly haven’t had that type of weather here to know for sure.
I’m not convinced that Chinese tires are terrible, it depends on the brand. ZC tires, who make Westlake and Arisun, I think makes a good product, and have arguably the most advanced automated tire manufacturing for any consumer tires. If you handed me that list and said, you need tires today, these are the brands we have in stock, I’d go with Westlake.
I've always mounted/balanced westlake winter tires onto used cars at my dealer. They're cheap and readily available.
The Toyo open county tires from the factory are loud but I was warned about that.
They are decent. I’ve ran the AS 4, Proxes and also the Extreme Contact DWS before. I would call the AS 4 and Extreme Contacts a tier 1 All Season tire, and the Proxes tier 2. The Proxes aren’t bad by any means but the dry grip isn’t on the same level as the other two especially at colder temperatures.
Don’t get the Toyos. Loud and lousy tread life.
You got majorly scammed. These are trash china westlake tires. They are poor braking, poor handling tires.
