Tires Toyo or OEM Volkswagen

Toyo tires are not flimsy. Many amateur race track drivers run them on their modified/performance cars. It's a premium performance brand, actually. I ran over a dozen sets to Toyo tires on my BMW and Audi cars for many years when I was doing track days.

I went from a Toyo Celsius in the stock 225/60/R17 to these bad boys in 225/65/R17. Gained an inch of tire and they really fill the wheel wells now. No rubbing and a very smooth and quiet ride

I just put them on in January and so far I like them a lot. We got less snow than normal, but they were very good in what snow we got. At first they were noisy on my Tacoma Pickup, I have E rated tires, but after a couple thousand miles they got quiet.

I now have the AT3s and love them. They’re quiet and handle great on and off the pavement. I’ve beat the snot out of every set of Toyos I’ve had and have only had one flat due to a pinch flat (sharp rock at 30mph). Southern California deserts are pretty unforgiving.

Best tires I've ever owned. I have at3s on my 80 series and my tundra. Tundra is on the second set. The first set lasted a very long time. Perform good aired down and are the best tires I've ever had in snow and sand. Noise is very mellow on highway. I have no complaints

Getting 40k miles from your OEM Toyos is pretty good. I kinda wanted to put more Toyo A36 on them as I liked how they felt but they dont have a mileage rating.

I've run the AT3's for the last three years and love them. Better than KO2's, Dura's, and Ridgegrapplers that i've run. All in 35', DD JKU. I'm in CO, so snow, rain, mud and weekend wheeling. They are the best all around. The GY are the best in the snow, but the Toyo's are a close second. I do feel like they won't have the mileage of either the Dura's or the KO2's. Only downside I see.

I know that I went through my first set of rears rather quickly on my VW ID3.

those toyos are widely regarded as poor tires, they ride quiet when they're new but very shortly they get loud and the grip is pretty bad and any sort of inclement weather even just rain.

It was a terrible experience on stock suspension: extremely stiff, sluggish from standstill, and my mpg took a drastic hit. On one tank I went from averaging about 16.8 mpg to 13.5.

I ended up getting them switched out for the C load tires (255/75r17) and had a MUCH better experience. They drive nearly identical to the stock tires , mpg is back to low 16, and the ride has softened up.
