Tires Toyo or FEDERAL

I drive my 240 daily to my job at a ski resort in the Rockies. I've had a number of different snow tires and really like my current Toyo Observe G-3's with studs. 2x 80lb sandbags in the trunk and it's a great performer, very predictable. The Toyo's are quiet as well.

Ran the original tires for 6yrs just replaced them with some Federal Evoluzion ST-1 225/50ZR/17 high performance tires summer only all Im going to say is money well spent ????

Got the new Toyo Open Country AT III EV tires. They ride A LOT SMOOTHER.

I know this is an old thread but everyone in it was wrong. The Toyo’s are far in away better at dry grip than ps4s and better for track days as they are far less likely to chunk under heavy loads for multiple laps. It’s faster in the dry than a pilot sport 5 which is faster than a 4s.

UK and lots of those are available, I run Toyo R888s on my Elsie and they Road Legal (I sprint/hillclimb in a road legal class)

Stock tires lasted about 50-60k miles on all three of my lightnings. I went with the toyos for replacements. My lightning has 10-15k on the toyos now, they're great. Smooth, wearing nicely, quiet, good efficiency, good in snow and rain, etc.

Very good off-road tire.

And like all MT’s, not the greatest on-road.

And definitely not great in ice or snow.

I lost 2-3 mpg. I went from stock to 285/70/17s Toyos OC AT2s.

Nothing. Worst all-season tire ever.

Toyo tires are trash. Two of our Toyo tires went flat on the freeway even though they were still pretty new.
