Tires Toyo or IRONMAN

I like my Toyo AT3s. Just went to Pennsylvania for a project and they handled the snow and ice pretty well. It felt like I was driving in the rain with them but they had enough bite to slow me down and keep me in control on all the hills and inclined roads over there.

I got some Toyo Extensa HP II’s for the summer/fall/spring from the former, delivered to my doorstep. I then got the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 at Costco and got them installed at location. I’m pretty happy with both tires.

What tires do you have? Factory All Terrain tires (and all AT tires) make more noise. The factory AT tires have been known to drone more when the mileage is higher. Rotating your tires can help for a while.

Bought Toyo Celsius 2 and they are amazing. Quiet, handles well on snow and 60,000 miles.

The best dedicated High-Performance Snows I ever had were Toyo Observe Garit KX in 225-50-17 on my old MK VI R. The colder it got, the better they gripped.

I just order TOYO tires then pay a shop to install and balance. I rotate myself and save the extra money aside for any damage/repairs I might need later. it's financially worked out to my gain over the last decade and several sets of all season and winter specific tires.

Now, here is the weak link for the CCX-70- and CX-90: The factory tires (Toyo Open Country A51 on our CX-70) are highway touring tread, only 8/32" tread depth brand new, and a very tame and dry pavement oriented tread pattern designed for quiet ride. We live in the midwest and I am kicking around swapping out the tires, but therein lies another constraint, at least on our model: It has 19" rims and factory installed Toyo's are 265/55R19 size (109V load rating). That is an oddball/rare tire size.

If I'm reading this date code correctly, these Toyos are approaching 6 years old. This makes sense as they are pretty noisy, could stand to be grippier and the rubber just does not feel very pliable. So I need to ditch these for some new all-seasons.

Those Toyo tires are so old, they don't even exist anymore.

Sunt un cacat btw, nu va luati.
