I put a set of these on a 2000 Toyota hilux and I can't find fault with them, they replaced bfg all terrains an awful tyre with very little wet grip, the toyos grip in the wet or dry is excellent and off road in mud the grip if far better than expected. When we fitted them the green circle was lined with the valve stem and out of 5 tyres none needed any balance weights fitting. I will definitely buy them again without hesitation, excellent quality.

What drivers say about their 225/75 R16 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Used on a Hilux with air lockers and heavy loads. Mine are the LT light truck construction. Constantly being aired down to suit rocky and muddy conditions. Recently completed a 15,000 km road trip around New Zealand S Island doing as many of the high country 4WD tracks as possible. As usual we got some snotty comments from the guys with big MTs but there was nowhere we couldn’t go. We completed some proper hardcore tracks needing low range first and second gear fully locked for long stretches to get up (and down). Tyres at ~15-20psi. Truck (which is heavy) handled the long distance tarmac drives no problem at relatively high pressures - 45 front, 60 rear. Long distance gravel roads down south I tend to air down to 30s. Extremely happy with the performance of this tire which is an all round excellent performer. It might not look particularly flash like a lot of these chunky off-road tires but it is very tough. The only time it struggles which is quite funny is in a flat muddy paddock full of cow pats. If the tires get clogged up with mud & poop they can be useless on flat wet grass. Which can be embarrassing…
I’m raring on an overall scale, not specific to AT tires. That’s why you don’t see 10’s everywhere.
I absolutely love these tires, having them on my old Honda Element. For its intended purpose, it’s amazing.

25000 and there bald as my head. You get what you pay for. Never again
3rd set supercats. 70000 kms last set. Rear wheel drive 15 year old Rodeo ute. Both on and off Queensland atrocious roads. Recommended.
Not used on snow or ice but in the pilbara we are getting side wall failures on a weekly basis. no good on mine conditions,
Cheap fitted by RV dealer as he promised to fit new tyres. Never trusted them from the start. Fitted to Fiat Ducato Winnebago front tyres almost worn out after 14,000kms. Rear tyre blew at 105kms/hr without any warning.
These tyres were recently bought for our Citroen New Relay L4H2 van and have transformed the wet and dry grip. No snow yet but having previous experience of the CrossClimate SUV tyre on a private car, which are every bit as good as a full winter tyre in the snow , I do not doubt Michelin's claims.
