I replaced my originally factory fitted Pirelli P Zero (rear 285/40/20 front 255/45/20) with these Toyo's. The Pirelli's were almost gone when replacing. I have had a hugh doubt what the replace the Pirelli's, because of prices differ amazingly. In the end I took the gamble with these Toyo's. They were average 155 euro's per tyre, the Pirelli's would come in at 300 euro's. So basically they are half price. I would fear I would loss sportiness. My Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is a crazy sporty car for beiing a SUV. With (now) 580HP it put the tyres under hugh pressure. The fact of the matter is that I feel I have lost 5% sportiness but gained about 30% comfort. And that is really welcoming. My wife really asked me: why is the car so quiet and why does it feels so luxerious. Ok, the Pirelli's were really worn out, but then again, the difference is really hugh. With normal and sporty driving you feel no difference in sportiness. It's only when you really going to push, you feel a slightly "softer" sidewall. Well, still the sidewall is incredibly stiff. Maybe the Pirelli's are just overdone, and this Toyo's is right were it should be. On the edge they are predictable and well behaving. The design is good (almost same side wall design and also tyre pattern). The rear tyres a slightly different to the front. Above 285 width Toyo puts a very tiny center pattern on the tyre to increase straight stability. You can really feel how stable the tyres are at greater speeds. I cannot say other then I absolutely fell in love with the tyres. In this size for this car absolutely recommendable. Amazing value for money.

I do around 5000 miles a year and have found these to be a great all round reasonably priced tyre. I have had them on for over 12months now and still have plenty tread left to see through a couple years more. They perform well in the dry handling well at various speeds, slightly less so in the wet but not excessively poor. I will definitely purchase again.

Great tyres, had Toyos on my work van few times before so tried these on my Range Rover, good spirited driving on country roads and motorways, really improved the handling on a big heavy car compared to the cheaper tyres that were fitted before. Great on country roads and smooth on motorway cruising. 17500 miles so far and still 40-50%.Will certainly buy again.
