Tires Toyo or Kumho
I slid twice on the original when it was raining and the tires still had good tread on it. I got a set of Toyo Proxes A/S around 45,000 miles and they feel great.
For your size 185/55R16, the best “cheap but not garbage” all-season I’ve found is the Kumho Solus TA31 they’re reliable in winter slush, quiet, and usually one of the lowest prices without feeling unsafe.
On my old Pontiac Grand Am I ran Kumho All weathers and if their speed rating worked on my new 300 I'd run them on it too. Great tires with great grip unless you hit a wet iced spot but nearly all tires fail on that.
Stock Toyo tire on '20 Mazda3 w/ the low profile tires was prone to sidewall bulging when it encountered potholes. Haven't had an issue after switching to bfgoodrich. Otherwise, nothing.
Incredibly lucky. Send those to Kumho, they would happily use these photos.
Currently running Sl toyo at3s, but likely going to switch to Cooper Road and Trail A/T has i have seen some good things about those tires.
I ran an F Toyo MT in the same size on a '17 Duramax SRW. My camper is MUCH heavier than your popup so my tire life was in the 30k km range. I wouldnt say the Toyos held up much better than the tires that are 1/3rs the price, but they are a durable and refined product. Ive burned through a half dozen sets of Toyo MT and never had an issue with them.
I'm at 30K on OEM Proxes, swapping out this weekend. Still good tread but a few pieces missing on sidewalls, enough to justify the expense.
Anyways, I mounted the tires in my wheels and right away on the tire balancer two they wobbled bad. I balanced them but they’re shit tires. The vibrate, have a very “hollow” pop type noise when hitting bumps, and overall a bit squirrelly on the road.
Have Toyo at3 on my 2024 3500 Silverado srw. Previously had Goodyear duratracs. The only upside to these at3 is the quietness of them. They are worse than the Goodyears in every other category. I’m in Saskatchewan Canada… combination of highway pavement miles, gravel road driving. Found them to be the least favourite tire I have ever ran in the winter. They currently have 37000km / 23000M and I’d guess they are at 25% tread left. Won’t be getting another set.
