Anyone tried these tires? what were the results?
Just watched the video posted, Not sure about water as I stated, But wow, His idea of winter must be massively different than mine. In any case just his opinion, just like mine is just my opinion, Also no kidding its not as good as a dedicated winter tire, But I likely have much more experience than him regarding snow and ice, The OEM Yokohama is dangerous in our winter whereas the Dueller is very capable. as proof I didn't put on my Winters this year, I saw no need.
I also have had the Michelin MXs he refers to on several vehicles, THat is an average tire in my opinion. Its thumppy over expansion joints but is extremely long wearing.
Any difference in noise or smoothness?I replaced the OE Yokohama at 45,000mi with the Michelin Energy Saver A/S. So far so good, no issues to report. No noticeable change in performance or mpg.

Can u tell me about the handling in corners compared to stock toyos? How's the ride? Does it absorb a lot of the road bumps? Gas mileage and wet weather driving? Did it make it quieter?
The Toyo's on my 2014 GT only lasted ~26K miles and I ended up replacing them with the Dueler ecopia in the same size - 225/55. Personally, I would have preferred to try some Michelin but the reports on this tire were good and the price was within range. I will report back on the tires after a bit and will also see what impact this has on gas milage.
Well, this was a mistake. These tires are terrible. The sharp handling and tight feel of the Mazda is gone, replaced by a saggy feel that makes the car feel like junk. This car now feels like the CR-V I traded in to get the CX-5. Very disappointed.
That's sad! What pressures have you tried so far?
This is with 36 PSI from the dealer. Really shocked at the difference. You think I should up the pressure?
