Tires Toyo or BRIDGESTONE

I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.

I personally went with C load with the Toyo AT’s. Came from BFG AT E load. No regrets. Not apples to apples, but between those two the Toyo in C was SIGNIFICANTLY softer in ride quality which was comfy both on and off road. Made daily commuting, long road trips, and off roading (especially on washboard) much more tolerable.

They ride great, have great traction in wet weather and do not seem to exhibit excessive wear. Well priced compared to Bridgestones and I have no complaints.

Late to the party, but I’m 50k into my 215/75r15s and either going with toyos again in 225/75 or falken wildpeaks. I’ve been very happy with the toyos in CO weather and dry backcountry. Not a ton of mud experience to help you with but the toyos have been GREAT on everything! Road noise it so be expected with AT tires but the toyos were/are not very noisy at all.

The 3s are a little louder but nothing too noticeable unless you commute in silence. They look great and perform just as great in any weather condition, asphalt or not.

Bridgestone Turanza Quiettracks. Rock. (A huge improvement vs OEM Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires.) Based on my past experience with this and other Michelin tires, not entirely sold on the Michelin brand.

I've been driving all types of vehicles on all types of tires for more than 50 years. The two best value tires I ever owned were Douglas (identical tread and design as my original Pirelli P77's) on an AWD Volkswagon Quantum and a set of Bridgestone Turanzas on a Mitsubishi Diamante (smooth and quiet as driving on glass). Both of these tires gave me over 52,000 miles of excellent service.

Toyo gives then a 2.5 / 5 rating in the snow.

Hated my toyos.

Anecdotal, but I bought a 2022 CX5 earlier this year and it came with Toyo tires on it. My rear driver side tire literally BLEW UP while I was driving 75mph to work at 4 in the morning. It was so bad that there was nothing left of the tire except a couple inches of the side wall around the wheel. I had 8200 miles on the tires.
