New Toyo's!!
Wednesday morning:
Just got back from getting some new rubber for my land yacht and let me tell you these are some amazing tires. I had previous experience with Toyo tires before. A couple years ago i bought some Versado LXii's after being talked out of buying the Primacy's MXV4 buy a guy that probably got a commission buy doing so. but it wasnt a bad recommendation as they were $400 cheaper than the Michelin. What the hell! Needless to say i was very happy with the results and ended up getting some on my girls car soon after. Fast forward to today and the LXii's have been replaced by the Noir's. IMO, they are just as good as the LXii if not slightly better. Very, very smooth riding tire with almost no road noise until you get to about 55mph. I have a phone app that measures db's and between 55-60 mph, it's about 65-69db. Very deep treads, and new tech made into these tires makes for a excellent, cheaper alternative to the Michelin's. One thing i noticed with the old LXii's is they were great in rain and snow and got quieter after the initial break-in period. I hope these will hold true to it's predecessor.
Today:
So far so good after the first couple hundred miles. To be honest, it seems the tires are getting even quieter. Same thing happen to the LXII's they replaced. They are almost dead silent up until around 45-50mph and then you will just barley start to hear road noise. Handling is good on dry roads but it's what i expected. No rain since last week so i have to wait to report on wet grip although judging by my previous experience and the usually deep treads, wet traction should not be an issue. Not a bad looking tire either! The sidewall has a nice "luxurious" pattern to them although i would've like to have a curb rash guard like some other tires have. Nevertheless, I will be sticking with these tires for this car from now on being as though you get Michelin performance for a better price with really no disadvantages. Next up is trying to find another set of OEM 18's. Three of mine are slightly bent form these DMV potholes . They tire guy did a good job with balancing so i don't feel anything up until maybe 80mph then some vibration starts kicking in. Below are a few shots to give an idea on how they look if someone is interested.
