Tires Toyo or Achilles

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’ve run those Toyo’s OC AtIII tires. Worked great on road, off road, and really did well in the snow. I’d recommend them for SUV vehicles.

You have at least three I would replace ASAP. Since you drive a lot you need them to keep you safe. Ask them to give you an out the door price and keep the good firestone if you need a spare. The Toyo Open Country tires are a great replacement and road hazard resistant upgrade.

Best budget tire brand I’ve used is Achilles

Not a lot of ratings online but I live on the coast in NC where snow is pretty much a non issue. They handle good in wet weather, typical notes are they don’t do well in snow but aside from Michelin many all season’s don’t

The Achilles Touring Sport A/S 225/65R17 or their dessert hawks should be fine

I’ve used achilles on several cars for the last 10 years or so and they are a great bang for the buck. I tried them out a set of their ATR sport tires on my veloster N because I was going through Michelin pilot super sports like nothing and never looked back.

Have had Falkens in the past, just didn’t last as long as I hoped and basically felt cheap. Nittos also wore prematurely IMO so weren’t worth the premium. The Proxes wear well (evenly) and can handle weather.

At 30k they became useless when below freezing. Switched to Toyo Open Country and they've been great

Wife ran Celcius for 3 years. Burned out at 30k

They were great year one. So so year two. Struggled with driveway year 3.
