Tires Toyo or GENERAL TIRE
Look at Toyo
I only put Generals on my Jetta and BMW. LOVE THE G-Max for price and handling.
I run 275/65r18 Toyo R/T just fine with no rubbing unless it’s at a awkward sharp turn on a steep hill
So I upgraded to new wheels and tires. I had the stock wheels and some el cheapo Chinese HiFly tires. Now I've got JR11 15 inch wheels and Toyo Proxes TR1 205/50. The car sticks to the road and is much quieter. I've much more confidence in the car and it's driving behavior is awesome right now.
I have the older version RT43's in my Lexus ES300 - they run really well but I will probably replace them in the next 2 years
If I could find these tires again id buy them, i have them on a 09 impala and used them for more than two years and had better than normal wear, my summer tires last half these winter tires.
Late last year Toyo had a special running at my local Firestone store. My company told me how much I could spend. With the special I could afford tires I wouldn't have even looked at before. I tell you what. My little CX5 rode as good if not better than my Large Acura MDX. It's so smooth and quiet it threw me off the first long trip I took. I've had them for 5 months/25k miles and they feel as good now as they did when I bought them.
For good budget tires that last over 2 years and have ok performance for the weekend enthusiasts… Toyo Extenza HP are the way to go…. Had mine For 2 years and still have meat…and much quieter than the Nexen….
Very good off-road tire.
And like all MT’s, not the greatest on-road.
And definitely not great in ice or snow.
My patience ran out around 3000 miles. I hated how vague they felt in the rain, and I was not interested in waiting until winter to see how much worse they’d be on snow and ice.
