Tires Toyo or Cooper

When I first started autocross, I was on mismatched all seasons with different tires all around. A local autocrosser with old tires took pity on me and gifted me a set of used Toyo Proxes R1R he didn't need any more. Mind. Blown.

Tires: Toyo Proxes T1 Sport

The Atlas does a solid job with a little lift (mine is the Forge Motorsports 1.5" [3.8 cm] spacer lift) and some good all-terrain tires (Cooper Discoverer AT3-4S on 17" x 8" rims; 235/75R17s).

I have a set of 34 maxx's and I love them. Pretty quite on the road and they do great in mud and loose dirt/gravel. I'm pretty impressed with them all around

Ended up going in a completely different direction. Found the Toyo Open County AT2 for 20% off, making it significantly cheaper. Couldn't say no given the price.

I have them on my 01 4Runner in a 265/75r16 and love them. They wander a little on the highway but not horribly. I’ve only had them in rocks, loose soft dirt, and shallow mud but they impressed the hell out of me the first time I took it out after install.

Very happy with mine on my heavy af Land Cruiser. They have 30k miles on them and easily more than half tread left. In Colorado they seem to be an ideal tire - they handle snow/ice far better than any MT I've had and they rock crawl with the best of them.

I've got 265/75/r16 Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT's in the "C" rating on my '17 Frontier. They're the new, more aggressive design that came out in fall 2018. I've been very impressed with them on gravel and loose dirt/sand/rocky unimproved roads in the southwest and on plenty of snowy, sketchy mountain roads around Utah. They ride well and are quiet on the highway, in my opinion at least. I lost maybe .5-1 mpg over the stock highway tread tires, and that includes going up a size and from P to LT tires.

It's possible the tire company is doing a great job of balancing your tires, only to have the tires spin on the rims while you're driving. I had this problem on the 19\" Atheos with Toyo Proxes ST's mounted.

We sold these at the tire center a I worked at. We rarely had a repeat customer get them twice. They always upgraded to the Toyo MT, and that wasn't us being pushy salesmen. We always asked why, and the regular complaints were the loud drone from the tires at freeway speeds and they didn't last for jack under the heavier trucks. 40K miles was on the high side of things.
