Tires Toyo or OEM Audi

I got some Toyo Extensa HP II’s for the summer/fall/spring from the former, delivered to my doorstep. I then got the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 at Costco and got them installed at location. I’m pretty happy with both tires.

What tires do you have? Factory All Terrain tires (and all AT tires) make more noise. The factory AT tires have been known to drone more when the mileage is higher. Rotating your tires can help for a while.

Bought Toyo Celsius 2 and they are amazing. Quiet, handles well on snow and 60,000 miles.

The best dedicated High-Performance Snows I ever had were Toyo Observe Garit KX in 225-50-17 on my old MK VI R. The colder it got, the better they gripped.

I just order TOYO tires then pay a shop to install and balance. I rotate myself and save the extra money aside for any damage/repairs I might need later. it's financially worked out to my gain over the last decade and several sets of all season and winter specific tires.

If you want ATs because of looks, there is already a proven option: Toyo Open Country ATIII EV.

Other than that you will go through tires pretty rapidly(30k average) and brakes(50k average)

If I'm reading this date code correctly, these Toyos are approaching 6 years old. This makes sense as they are pretty noisy, could stand to be grippier and the rubber just does not feel very pliable. So I need to ditch these for some new all-seasons.

Toyo & Nitto Tire Recall Alert

If you’re running Toyo or Nitto tires, take a minute to check your setup—there’s an official recall that could affect your safety.

An isolated issue in the belt manufacturing process may cause the tread or belt to separate while driving. This can lead to reduced control and increase the risk of a crash.

Toyos kinda suck, especially after some wear.
