Tires Toyo or NITTO

Nitto NT01, pretty good overall and out of all the tires I’ve stretched they’re the only ones that actually held up

I’ve been wanting to upgrade the tires and finally pulled the plug and got some nitto ridge grapplers in 265 70 17 on the stock TRD Sport wheels and stock suspension, no rubbing it all fits perfect and looks great. Performs too, testing them out almost immediately and I’m definitely satisfied.

Look at Toyo

I run 275/65r18 Toyo R/T just fine with no rubbing unless it’s at a awkward sharp turn on a steep hill

So I upgraded to new wheels and tires. I had the stock wheels and some el cheapo Chinese HiFly tires. Now I've got JR11 15 inch wheels and Toyo Proxes TR1 205/50. The car sticks to the road and is much quieter. I've much more confidence in the car and it's driving behavior is awesome right now.

If I could find these tires again id buy them, i have them on a 09 impala and used them for more than two years and had better than normal wear, my summer tires last half these winter tires.

Late last year Toyo had a special running at my local Firestone store. My company told me how much I could spend. With the special I could afford tires I wouldn't have even looked at before. I tell you what. My little CX5 rode as good if not better than my Large Acura MDX. It's so smooth and quiet it threw me off the first long trip I took. I've had them for 5 months/25k miles and they feel as good now as they did when I bought them.

Ran these for 1.5 years had two flats. Still had good tread depth. One was a rock puncture which I have never had before. On my beater truck so I wheeled the piss out of them. Good in snow, ice, mud and sand. Bad on wet roads imo.

The ride is nice, noise is low, but the wet traction is very poor.

NT05 isn't great. And I hate the 555's - the orig were cheap and OK but the G2 is worse, you can do better with Firestone Indy 500's or Continental ExtremeContact both are about 300TW.
