Tires Toyo or Nexen

I got new shoes as well over the weekend. I have the sports package and went with 255/60r19 Toyo Open Country AT3.

The Toyo OpenCountry AT3 on a Honda Element were my favorite. Superior snow, mud, rain, and pavement performance.

I’ve had the Toyo at tires and prefer the Toyo’s. I’ve driven lots of off road trails with toyos, driven cross country towing another truck behind me through blizzards and they were great.

I was pleasantly surprised when my Toyo ATIII in 285/75r17 C load arrived. It has a 3 ply sidewall. I was expecting it to be 2.

I ran nexen Sport R, they’re a tick off pace of the hot 200tw (RE71RS, CRSv2, A052) but they’re super consistent across a 30 minute lapping session and I was getting 5-6 days out of a set.

I recommend Nexen. They are good quality Korean brand. My Kia Cerato has them.

Have Toyo at3s on my truck and absolutely love them. Bfgs and falkens are too heavy

I ran these on my ‘19 tundra for 55k miles, they were still in decent condition but had a little dry rot and eventually got a massive puncture so I just upgraded to 35’s Toyo open country R/T trail tires

I’ll be honest these came in my brand new 2025 Volkswagen Jetta which I purchased last October and I already need a new set. I have put in a wreck of miles though 18k miles already but I still think they wore way too quick they’re at “4 tread and will need to replace.

I consider Nexgen tires dangerous with oversteer especially with high center of gravity vehicles. Maybe it's the soft sidewall.
