Toyo A36 Crossover & SUV Tires in P225/55R19

I worried a little when I saw Toyos on my new cx5 because I considered them an off brand and I have had little luck with those. Usually such
tires are good for a few thousand miles, lose balance,wear out and then need to be replaced with Michelins. I am pleasantly surprised that these Toyos
are performing extremely well and show little wear. I think I will be able to get 40k out of them and would definitely buy them again. They
are impressive in taking corners and tight sweeping turns. Quite enjoyable!

These were the OEM tires that came with our Mazda CX-5. We use Michelin X-Ice winter tires so I've only used these between May and December. These tires have actually performed quite well. They are noticeably quiet to my ears. Steering response is good and the ride is pretty good as well. These have been much nicer than I expected before having driven any Tokyo tires.

Quiet, responsive, durable and comfortable to drive.

These are original equipment on our 2019 CX-5. They have always been adequate here in Southern California in dry conditions. We have made a few long-distance trips on them and always felt content with noise and comfort. Only a few panic stops in dry conditions. I do not recall and testing of their cornering limits... this is my wife's car. These tires are now 8 years old and soldiered on in a 600 mile road trip with no issues. But at 8 years, it's time to retire them (😆). As with every other OE tire I've had, their treadwear is disappointing - they are on the border of caution level for wear at 20,000 miles. But that is not important to us, as we obviously don't drive the car long distances.

These tires are absolute garbage. Without a doubt, they're the worst tires I've ever had on a vehicle.

They're just plain dangerous in wet conditions and will hydroplane or slip in the slightest bit of standing water. They're also super noisy while cornering and easily break traction (and squeal) when accelerating. I knew I needed new tires within the first 500 miles of driving on them. Toyo should be embarrassed to put their name on these tires.

The only thing they have going for them is they're relatively quiet and cheap.

Only buy these tires if you're purposely looking to endanger your life and others.

These tires are not horrible and that's about as nice as I can put it. They were the factory tires on my 2024 CX-5 and they were most definitely chosen as the lowest-bidder option. While they perform just ok in dry scenarios, they need some big improvements in wet categories and ride comfort and noise.

They slip easily in wet cornering and do not handle hyrdroplaning well either. Straight-line acceleration in the wet is good, but I credit the car's AWD system with that and not the tire.

They are pretty harsh over all types of bumps and road imperfections... the feeling inside the car is like they are over-inflated. They are also not very quiet and I am at 7/32 of tread remaining. Highway tire noise is higher than I think is acceptable.

I don't expect them to last very much longer seeing as how they've already shed 3/32 of tread in only 12k miles. Another 3 or 4/32 is all they have left that is usable, so that's going to happen in another 12-14k miles or so. 25-26k miles is about what you'd expect with a UTQG rating of only 300 though, so I'm not suprised at all there.

I will not be buying these tires again when it comes time.

Bad traction in wet, snow and ice. Loud and harsh over road impacts. I replaced with Continental Crosscontact lx25 and noticed a huge difference in overall noise into the cabin. And these actually did quite well in the snow and wet.

Never driven on a worse tire. Dry was fine but snow traction was nonexistent. I felt absolutely unsafe with these even in the off road mode on my vehicle. Have no idea how they perform on wet as we won't get rain here for about another month. Got these swapped out for a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2's.

These were the OEM tires that I had gotten with the new vehicle.

Bottom line, except for tread life, above average but not spectacular for grip, handling, comfort, noise considering they are Original Equipment tires. Performance/noise may go downhill in the last third or so of their life which is typical with most tires. But bang for the buck as a replacement is poor mainly due to poor treadlife.

OE tires are not designed for high mileage as the dealer wants to sell you new tires sooner than later. Treadlife will vary greatly based on driving style. Average driver will get 35K out of these on the turbo engine and maybe 40K on non-turbo. People always in a rush probably will be lucky to get 30K. (I hit 4/32nd at 28K on my Turbo which is when you want to start thinking about replacing before hitting 3/32nd.)

They are actually an all around above average good all season tire in all respects except severe Winter conditions and treadlife. While they will get you to the grocery store and back in light snow or up to the ski area on a sanded road but if you have more consistent harsh winter conditions you want a Severe Snow rated tire not these

Much better options for the money for replacements.

These came stock with my 2022 CX-5 Turbo. At 8,000 miles one of them blew up. It was inflated to 34psi, as I check every morning, and I didn't run anything over. I was driving to work at 3am going about 68mph and the tire blew up to the point there was nothing left of it except a tiny strip of shreds around the wheel. Replacing the tire was also a huge hassle, as Mazda didn't want to cover the cost and referred me to Toyo, and then Toyo did the same thing and referred me back to Mazda. Eventually a third party tire shop replaced it with 70% coming from Toyo. Before the blowout, performance was decent. It handled pretty well, and was pretty comfortable cornering, accelerating, and braking under average conditions. Rain caused a few hydroplaning problems even through 20-40k miles. I live in Alabama, but took a trip back home to Wisconsin during winter. The handling declined a little in light snow, as to be expected, and during a heavy blizzard on the way back it was a little more precarious. I am replacing the tires now, at 55k miles, because there is absolutely no tread left on them whatsoever. I should have replaced them at 40k but life gets in the way sometimes. Throughout the whole life of the tire, road noise was a little noticeable. The ride itself was smooth, but even with dampened wheel wells, I could hear the road quite easily.

Anyway, for a stock tire I can't complain too much. They got the job done (well, 3 did). Overall, 6/10 tire. I would NOT recommend buying these as replacements. Spend a little more money and get better, more reliable tires.

Typical basic OEM tire performance. Not bad as far as everyday driving, no issues in all driving conditions. Treadwear on the other hand is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! Brought my car into the dealer for an oil change and was informed after 18K SHORT miles that the tires should be replaced, I seriously thought it was a joke. 2 tires at 4/32 the other two at 3/32. With such low miles I honestly never looked at them, when I did, I was shocked! Contacted Toyo, they begrudgingly offered a small, prorated credit (since these tires have NO warranty), but I would have to buy more Toyo tires, No Thanks! I have NEVER had tires wear out that fast, even decades ago as a kid when I would drive very aggressively, I think I had a set of Pirellis wear out around 30K. I'll keep driving on them until late Autumn before winter sets in, I don't put many miles on anyway and it's all local driving. Pathetic wear on these Toyo's, I've had other tires from them in the past and was happy with them, these A36's are a complete joke!
