Tires, Can't Wait Might Go Toyo!

I have these on my BMW X5 and they have been great. Handle well in dry, wet and solid in snow. Quiet and a good side wall for cornering.

Toyo Tires

They do not come in our size but there is a very close match with some extra width.

Toyo Proxie S/T 255/50/18 V rated, load 106, max pressure 50lbs.

SIZE Diameter Width Weight

OEM 235/55/18 27.9 9.5 29lbs

Toyo 255/50/18 28.3 10.2 34lbs

The difference in height is almost within normal tread wear.

With the Toyo's you would be 0.5% off so when you are going 60mph your speedo would read 59.7mph.

Let me know what you all think. I may pull the trigger since the Bridgestones are on 4-6 week backorder.

Toyo tires have always been one of the best riding ad lasting tires.

I am getting a quote now. If they are close to the Bridestones (I brand that I love) I will go for them and forge new ground for the 400h gang

I was just told by Tirerack that the Bridgestones will be in this week. Where did you get your info?

Had Toyo Transpath OEM tire way back on my a Nissan Pathfinder SE back in '99 and I must say that they were awesome tires. That's where I forged a new found respect for Toyo, since I had never owned or would of even considered them purchasing them. I was impressed with there product back then.

I have no experience with Toyo's; I assume they're Japanese? If they work as well as the Yokohama's I have owned they should be great tires at reasonable prices.
