Tires Toyo or Kumho
From my experience with working with them, I would go with the Toyo. Seem to balance better and wear out more evenly than the Nitto's.
Waited a month with enough miles to report this, however when I went from stock 20s to 275/70/R18 BFG KO2s they more aggressive and heavier tire took 2.5-3 MPG of efficiency from my 21 PB. I got 45k miles from those tires and they were great. In need of new tires I did some research and always heard Toyos were pretty good. So I felt like mixing it up with a new tire. I learned that Toyo early this year came out with a version of the Open Country that is for electric vehicles. A month and 1500 miles later, including some long road trips camping and my regular city driving, I can say that my trip readings are actually 1.5 MPG improved.
I run Kumho Ectasa PS91 on my 370Z, and for the money, they are some of the best summer tires out there.
I just got some KUMHO Solus ta51a, South Korean, they're so much better than the goodyear my car had from factory. And at a great price ????
I’ve run those Toyo’s OC AtIII tires. Worked great on road, off road, and really did well in the snow. I’d recommend them for SUV vehicles.
You have at least three I would replace ASAP. Since you drive a lot you need them to keep you safe. Ask them to give you an out the door price and keep the good firestone if you need a spare. The Toyo Open Country tires are a great replacement and road hazard resistant upgrade.
I got a set of Kuhmos at America's Tire. Ordered online, drove to the store to have them installed. Same tire they use for the newer ID.4s. Not too expensive, and way better than the original Alenzas my '21 had.
I'm running on Kumhos, so I can't say much about others. Kumho (KM17) is OK, but it generates a flat spot in few weeks if car just sits and then first 10 miles are bumpy. Quite cheap so perhaps I can stand that, but not really much cheaper than others, so I won't buy another set.
At 30k they became useless when below freezing. Switched to Toyo Open Country and they've been great
Wife ran Celcius for 3 years. Burned out at 30k
They were great year one. So so year two. Struggled with driveway year 3.
