I'm surprised not much info and not many posts with personnal experiences with these tires. Was wondering why?
Are they not that good?

I don't understand how anyone can judge an entire brand of tires on one set. OEM tires usually do not last long in order to achieve quiet/comfortable ride and the best fuel economy as possible.quote:

Had Toyo tires on my new, last year, Toyota Kluger (Highlander) awd which were original equipment. They only lasted 28k kms (18k miles approx) and this is about normal according to other owners from other forums. I drive very gently and have never gone through a set of tires so quickly in over 40 years of car ownership. So in my opinion they are very poor.

You also need to remember that OEM tires are not the same grade as the aftermarkets available. OEM tires are made as cheaply as possible since the lowest bidder gets the contract. The Bridgestone's that came on my truck were terrible but that doesn't mean all Bridgestone's are "poor".quote:

This, and the fact that they are not available for less $$ through any national discount mail order/phone/internet dealers (i.e.; Discount Tire, Tire Rack, etc.).quote:

I think they have good tires -- they are just not "readily available" like other brands. They also do not advertise much.
While I tend to agree that you get what you pay for with most things, that doesn't necessarily seem to be the rule when it comes to tires. I know absolutely nothing about Toyo tires, but I do know that some Kumho tires are vastly superior to many tires costing two, or even three times more. With tires, you have to gauge how good a tire is based on people's experiences and not price. Otherwise you may very well end up spending a bunch of dough on a set of very poor tires.quote:
