I have three decades worth of experience with Toyota's and Honda's. With both brands, the original tires and car battery need replacing early on. What you read in another thread would hold true in my experience.

 

25k on my Toyo's, still fairly quiet which is their strong point. Almost down to the wear bars and experiencing some adventure when going thru deep puddles. Probably will replace soon, not sure if I'll stay with them. As a comparison, I replaced the Mich LTX M&S on my old Pilot at 50k.

 

Our vehicle we just received has the Toyo tires. How are they in the snow. I did a quick search here and tirerack and did not see any rave reviews.

Thanks,
Jeff

 

No Snow conditions tested here in the Low Country. The tires for the most part get a bad rap...its a soft rubber compound so keep them inflated for slightly better mpg. Quietest tire I've ever owned, dry handling is good, wet was fair for first 10-12k and is shakey now at 25k. The downfall is the tire wear, doubt I'll run em past 30k, think they are pricey too. Todd switched them out early for Mich Lat Touring and complained they were too loud and the dealer agreed to put the Toyo's back on (and those Michelins are a quiet tire unless they've changed them). Not looking forward to replacing them with a louder tire.

 

They certainly are not good enoigh to warrant the $279 price tag on TireRack. No way, no how.

 

I'm not sure how people can get only 24k out of these Toyos. I've got 15k and a ton of tread left. My guess is they will last at least 40k, maybe more. For an OEM tire, I think they are reasonable.

 

I should've mentioned and have in other threads, here in SC where I live most roads are flat and straight. Coming into my development there are at least a dozen turns, some fairly sharp on coarse pavement that most take at 35-45 mph (no homes on this 2 1/2 mile stretch). I sometimes go in and out 2-3 times per day...rough on tires. Mine looked good at 15k also, the extra 10k makes a big difference. Got 50k out of those michelins, my bro in Fla got 75 out of same model.

 

Hit 1,000 miles and they are holding up like champs!! :grin: :wink:

 

I'm happy that my Toyos aren't eating nails like they did on my 2011 HL. They are a quiet tire no doubt. I think they are more than adequate in the snow from my experience. That said, I had to change out the 2011 HL tires early on due to the nail eating and I replaced them with Yokahama Avid Envigor which are a decent tire that had no penchant for nails. I think they were slightly noisier though.
