Tires Toyo or Maxxis

Toyo Tires Open Country A50 OEM on my 25 CX-70. 275/45/21s. I am extremely happy with these tires. Quite for a 21 inch wheel, still at 9/32 front and near that at the rear with 7,500 mi I'm very smooth on the highway between 60 and 80.

put these on my Mazda CX5 last year. Vehicle immediately felt sturdier (compared to the stock Toyos). I've driven in the snow and ice, mud, dirt, pavement and the tires are great.

FWIW I'm just now replacing my oem toyo tires with 33k miles on the odometer.

Atualmente no meu Kia só uso Toyo, são bons e tem uma particularidade, são silenciosos no rolamento, coisa que se nota bem neste ED SW.

Toyo tires are not flimsy. Many amateur race track drivers run them on their modified/performance cars. It's a premium performance brand, actually. I ran over a dozen sets to Toyo tires on my BMW and Audi cars for many years when I was doing track days.

I just ordered a set of Maxxis RC1 because of bad feedback I heard about the Proxes R. I’ve run the RC1 for a while now and they’re a great track day tire. Super consistent through long sessions and over many heat cycles.

I went from a Toyo Celsius in the stock 225/60/R17 to these bad boys in 225/65/R17. Gained an inch of tire and they really fill the wheel wells now. No rubbing and a very smooth and quiet ride

Maxxis tires give 40% on a $120 MSRP - so $48. Seems like a good gig for the retailer. However...Maxxis is the worst line to carry.

It was a terrible experience on stock suspension: extremely stiff, sluggish from standstill, and my mpg took a drastic hit. On one tank I went from averaging about 16.8 mpg to 13.5.

I ended up getting them switched out for the C load tires (255/75r17) and had a MUCH better experience. They drive nearly identical to the stock tires , mpg is back to low 16, and the ride has softened up.

I've had the Nitto trail grapplers, the Toyo AT/3 and now the Cooper Discovers. Toyos were the worse traction in wet conditions... no doubt.
