Cool Anyone Running These Tires?

Greetings All-

Just got these tires yesterday off a delivery truck and about to have dealer mount them for me today. Did ALOT of research on them first, and also got a thumbs up from my main tire connection source that they are a superb set of tires that were recently announced by Toyo.

http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/ve...on-tires?cat=7

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/toyo-v...130000352.html

Anxious to see if anyone else here is running these beauties and what sort of feedback can you give me on them please? Always been a Toyo lover and have them on my huge Dodge Ram 2500 which have not shown much wear at all in over 2 years!!

Not sure if anyone here has seen my posts regarding the most unreal wheel & tire connection I have that a good friend of mine works, at and truly takes care of all fellow members I send to him? Its a MAJOR online source with without a doubt the BEST customer service I have EVER seen in my life! PM for details since I am NOT trying to circumvent or disrespect any vendor whatsoever. Just a Retired Marine First Sergeant with no more troops to take care of, so I take care of forum members on all the sites I am on. Absolutely NOTHING in this for me whatsoever my friends!

So if anyone has these Toyo Versado Noir tires please let me know your thoughts!

Semper Fidelis,

Gunny

PS. Attached pics of the tires and the Toyos on my Ram too for heck of it.

from reviewing the link.......I DO like the projected "tread life" of those !! Seems to come at the expense of dry handling though. I drive pretty tamely and lots of highway...so the tread life, quiet ride and comfort ratings are very appealing to me. I've got another 30+K left on these Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's....but I may put those Toyo's up for consideration when it's time to replace. Let us know how they work out for you.

Also, your pic shows them as 245/45's. I thought the GS's call for 245/40 .

Yes sir. I have aftermarket wheels on it and thus it fits them better. trying to find a pic of the car. Would rather have a more soft and luxe ride as its my wifes car ya know?

I will surely post a review on them here starting today after i pick it up.

i would prefer this as well (soft and luxe ride)...so I'll be interested in your feedback once you get some miles on them.

I'm going to check them out as well. Can't wait to get these Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 off. I had the Pilot Super Sport before and they were awesome! Quiet and stuck like glue...

Nothing about this tires on tirerack. I just put on Conti PureContact Eco+ and from the description it say exactly as this Toyo. I'm interest to see how the two compared.

the previous owner of the 09' I recently picked up had these Michelins put on by Lexus. The set only has about 8k miles on them and they are like new. What issues have you had with them?? The research I did on them turned up some pretty positive reviews, overall. Pretty highly rated tire, etc...so I figured they were pretty solid. Has your experience proved otherwise it seems??
