Tires Toyo or SUMITOMO

SUMITOMO Tires

I went from Sumitomo HTR Z2 tires to Michelin Pilot Super Sport and was left very disappointed in the Michelins. Initial turn in suffered (slight delay from steering input to vehicle changing direction). The Michelins are like sticky gummy bears, the Sumitomos had much stiffer side walls and that made driving far more enjoyable even though they were less sticky.

Pros: stiffer side walls
Cons: less sticky

I've slashed sidewalls and upgraded to thicker sidewalls (Toyo AT 2), never encountered a sidewall puncture after that.

Pros: thicker sidewalls, no punctures
Cons: little tire chunks scraped

Replaced the stock Goodyears with a set of Toyo Open Country H/T II. Best value and quietest highway truck tire I’ve owned. Also, I noticed my fuel economy went up about 1 mpg vs the Goodyears.

Pros: best value, quietest tire
Cons: less mileage
Mileage: 10000 km

Toyo makes some of the best tires out there and their GSI-5 snow tires are the best snow tires on the market.

Pros: best snow tires
Part number: GSI-5

For the last year and a half I have had toyo AT3s and I like them. They are not too loud, they work alright on ice (with weight) and seem to work well in mud, snow and rain.

Pros: not too loud, works well
Cons: works alright on ice

I daily drive with the Sumitomos they are alright in the dry but I do find they aren't as good in the wet. They do feel pretty predictable when driving hard and the tire wear isn't too bad.

Pros: predictable when driving hard
Cons: not good in wet

I just got my first experience on the Toyos this morning in some snow here in Virginia. The Toyos were really pretty awful :-(. They're fine for getting going and driving around - in fact, even starting off a hill was really no issue, but God help you if you have to stop quickly...because they wont. It was a slide-fest even with just a thin layer of snow.

Pros: fine for getting going
Cons: awful stopping quickly
