Tires Toyo or NANKANG

Toyo Proxes R1R is a cheaper option if the car isn't super heavy.

Another one here to recommend the Toyo at3’s. On my second set and they have held up nicely through all sorts of different terrain and conditions. They’re a strong tire with a 3ply sidewall and didn’t get any chunking after a weekend rock crawling in Sedona.

I’ve been running Toyo open country AT3 with good luck. Quiet on the pavement, indistinguishable in dry from higher end options, and really good in ice/snow.

I have nankang econex'es on my project car. Honestly they're fine. Drove them in the rain recently and never lost grip.

I have had the Toyo's (3 sets) and the Geolanders (2 sets). Traction wise, it's a wash. Both do well in rain and ice. Off road is the same. The Toyo's lasted MUCH longer than the Geolanders.

I have Toyo Open Country AT3s now, and I'm always impressed with how quiet they are, given their aggressive tread. Had them for about 14k miles and they've performed well in mud, snow, and over rocks - but still feel good on the highway.

I have a set of Nankangs on my Ghia. They are a decent tire, but don't expect tons of grip from them, and they're pretty hard.

I ran a set of NS2's years ago, they came on my B5.5 Passat. Grip wise they were acceptable in the dry, and pretty poor in the rain. Alot of my customers also ran them back then. I've never seen anything akward happen to one, no sidewall bubbles, blowouts, or failures. They aren't unsafe or bad tires, they were just always at the bottom of their category in terms of performance, refinement, grip, so I never considered buying a set. If my hands were tied in terms of availability, I would feel perfectly comfortable running Nankangs, especially on an application like a Figaro. I would go for it.

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.
