Weakness:

NOISE!!!!

These tires are way too noisy. Our dealer put them on, and after rotating they got even louder. Rides ok, but don;t get these if you want to be able to talk inside your car.

Strength:

Quiet, Resists hydraplaning, Reasonably priced and long lasting.

Weakness:

None to speak of.

I had these tires on my Honda Odessey and loved them. I just bought them for my Kia Sedona and look forward to many years of use. As for the huy that said they were no good on SNow and Ice. NOt true. I tried to spin out with these tires on my Odessey and could not. THey are exceptional tires that I would recommend to anyone. Very quiet on the road as well.

Strength:

Quiet, trouble free, excellent handling (dry Wet and Ice)

Weakness:

Can you say NO

I haven't ownwed tires this good since the Goodyear Polygalasses on my 57 Chevey back in 70. Granted that most of the miles we have put on these puppies are highway, but I'm almost at 90K and only one looks like it my not make it to 100K. Probably have rotated them 3 or 4 times max and has an alignment done when thet were purchased. As for the noise problems that the ONE bad reviewer has experienced I wonder if the installers did a cra**y balancing or alignment on his vehicle. We average over 50K a year and I will replace them (if ever needed) with another set. A definite 11 on a 10 scale!!

Strength:

I'm not driving on the rims

Weakness:

regrets? the minute I drove out on them.

Toyo Spectrum; DO NOT BUY-- clear? They are noisy !!! they're gummy and absolutely useless on anything wet ESP in the snow. I experimented and am I paying. I researched everything and I liked the tread and the seeming value. I took off Goodyear Eagle factory GSA and wish I wouldn't have. The tires absolutely growl like a set of Bridgestones I took off a Trooper. When I replaced the B's with Eagles it was ultra quiet--same thing here only backwards, Eagles off and these truck tire pieces of crap howl and growl at 30mph and up and literally sound like you're driving next to an 18 wheeler in th middle of Kansas at 55 mph. You pay the shipping and you can have this set. PERIOD.

Strength:

Wet/ Snow traction. Quiet.

Weakness:

Not as sticky in high speed cornering.

Probably the most reliable tires I''ve had on a car. They weren''t great performance tires but were predictable in constantly changing Canadian weather. The sidewalls did bubble when I hit a pothole at 120km/h though.

Strength:

They stick well for being 1 year old and taken them to the strip and beat the heck out of them. No sign of wear yet.

Weakness:

The rubber is too hard.

This is a all season tire. If you have a car with alittle nuts then they are good, but for my car if I punch it in second gear they just spin like crazy.

Strength:

Priced Well. 100,000 km wear rating. Agressive look. All season. Toyo rated as #1 quality tire in many industry magazines.

Weakness:

None yet!!!

These tires are actually quite good! Handle well in almost all aspects thus far. Quite good in Canadian snow (especially this year). Had major slipping problems with previous tires, and had Toyo recommended by a few dealers.

Would recommend these tires based on price, quality, wear and recommendations.

Model Reviewed: 99 Jetta

Strength:

All-season expectations, 144 out the door(for two) and they look nice!

Weakness:

not the best, but 195/60R14 all-season wouldn't be.

I was looking for good wet-dry handling, but nothing too $. These run pretty good, anything was better than the goodyears that were on there. I HAD to spin them around the mall lot for a while to play with, and they squeal a little when really getting on it, but for the $, I think they're worth it. I only did my fronts, but plan on completing the set in the next few months. The local mom-n-pop shop had a TON of these, so the deal was good, and they obviously sell.
