Had one of my Toyo's suffer a non repairable road hazard , I was due for tires and since only Discount tire had the tires in stock I took a chance and went with them, Here is my take compared to the OEM Toyo's :
The Yoko's have much sharper turn in compared to the Toyo's with only slightly more harshness , as they are new they are quiet, time will tell on this one, my gas mileage is up slightly which I would have thought to be the opposite due to the weight difference ( 28 verse 29 ) , price was right at 167 per tire, tire looks more " substantial' when viewed from the side profile, I have not driven in the rain so I can not rate that, hopefully they do not perform as poorly as the Yoko G0 55 tires , all in all , it seems like a great tire and best of all it is V rated, I did not want to go down to H as there must be some reason why Mazda chose a V rated tire on the 19in wheels.
