Tires Toyo or Nexen

Toyo T1R's on 8.5" rims. They stretched awesome. Ride nice and stiff as to be expected. So far they've been great.

That being said I've had Toyo tires a few times and I've been happy every time

We choose to wrap the wheels in Nexen N3000 235/35/19. To be honest they were the cheapest Tires I could find. Another review will come after Jen racks a couple of miles on them.

Toyo Proxes 4 (note: not the FZ4). Had them on my Integra GSR and would be my 1st choice when it comes time to replace the tires on my JSW.

Used to run 195/40/17 Toyo's on my mk2.

I bought Nexen tires for my MK4 (which is for sale BTW ) and I love them. They are great all around tires. I plan on buying them for my mk5

I had the Nexen N3000's for about 23,000 and they were pretty great tires. They were the best tire I've ever had in the wet, decently quiet, balanced well and wore like rocks. If you are looking for good tread life and cheap price then these are great. If you need something sticky, these won't do... I hardly ever drive hard but when I did I found the limits easily. I bought 4 225/40-18's at 67 bucks a piece and sold them 23,000 miles later for 100 bucks and the guy was floored b/c it looked like I never drove on them.

I plan to buy these tires for sure, they seem to be the top stretch tire along with the 512 Falken.

The tires I had on my 20th were recalled because of some side wall crakcing that caused them to leak air and les schwab sold me a set of 225/40/18 Toyo somehting or other for $312 out the door because of the hassle I went through with the recalled set I bought from them.

Based on the fact of how much I hate my Toyo Proxy 4's (235/45/17)and the lack of response I received by contacting Toyo I will no longer consider that brand for anything.
