Tires Toyo or OEM Audi

I personally went with C load with the Toyo AT’s. Came from BFG AT E load. No regrets. Not apples to apples, but between those two the Toyo in C was SIGNIFICANTLY softer in ride quality which was comfy both on and off road. Made daily commuting, long road trips, and off roading (especially on washboard) much more tolerable.

Late to the party, but I’m 50k into my 215/75r15s and either going with toyos again in 225/75 or falken wildpeaks. I’ve been very happy with the toyos in CO weather and dry backcountry. Not a ton of mud experience to help you with but the toyos have been GREAT on everything! Road noise it so be expected with AT tires but the toyos were/are not very noisy at all.

The 3s are a little louder but nothing too noticeable unless you commute in silence. They look great and perform just as great in any weather condition, asphalt or not.

Get Toyo Proxes Tr, street legal, cheap, and you wont notice the difference at all, unless you are a seasoned racer

Or, replace your OEM tires with TOYO  EXTENSA A/S II A in the stock size for $172 per tire.

Running Toyo Extensa HPII all seasons on my 450whp s4, no complaints

I run the Toyos. About 20k miles on them. We have made several long road trips through rain, snow and a mix of both, did great. They are great tires in all conditions except for ice.

Have had Falkens in the past, just didn’t last as long as I hoped and basically felt cheap. Nittos also wore prematurely IMO so weren’t worth the premium. The Proxes wear well (evenly) and can handle weather.

I had to change my toyos open country around 30k, I also drive like an ass

I did a comparison and my Toyo R888r were 4 seconds faster on a 1 minute lap than my 595’s on my fiesta ST.
