Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The Extensa HP II is Toyo's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire for drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes, and performance sedans looking for a balanced blend of dry and wet handling, ride comfort, and style combined with all-season traction, even in light snow.

The Toyo Extensa HP II is molded into a directional pattern with large outer tread blocks for enhanced dry traction and handling. Double and single-cut tapers in the tread blocks improve block stiffness and facilitate optimum road contact for cornering stability. Two full-depth circumferential grooves and V-shaped lateral voids combine to evacuate water and slush to the shoulder slots for hydroplaning resistance. 3-D multi-wave sipes provide additional biting edges for traction in wet and slippery conditions.

The Toyo Extensa HP II's internal construction consists of two steel belts atop a two-ply polyester casing. A nylon reinforcement ply further stabilizes the tread to provide high-speed handling and durability.

Customers Say

Customer feedback data reveals strong dry traction (scores 9-10) and confident wet performance (7-10) for the Toyo Extensa HP II. Winter traction shows solid snow capability (7-10) but struggles on ice (0-5), aligning with typical all-season limitations.

Wet traction is terrible! I don't trust them in rain...

Wet traction is terrible! I don't trust them in rain. Awful traction in light snow. Forget it in heavy snow. AWD won't help traction. Worst OEM tires I have had.

This tire is OK for an OEM, but I do not like its behavior under wet conditions... In our climate how tires handle in the rain is a big deal - I really dont trust them that much.

Low noise, decent ride and adequate dry handling. Terrible in the wet period. Tread wear on side walls dismal. Don't recommend. I'm looking for new tires @30k as a result.

...Pretty slippery in the rain, and in snow or ice, you are taking your life in your hands. I live in Colorado, and they are just nowhere near up to the job in winter driving conditions. On recent trips in snowy conditions, if there was the least little bit of ice present, it was all I could do to keep the car on track even with all-wheel drive...

This was the OEM tire that came with my Highlander. While they have been quiet and smooth-riding, their traction in all but absolutely dry conditions is awful. Pretty slippery in the rain, and in snow or ice, you are taking your life in your hands. I live in Colorado, and they are just nowhere near up to the job in winter driving conditions. On recent trips in snowy conditions, if there was the least little bit of ice present, it was all I could do to keep the car on track even with all-wheel drive. These tires are just awful in the snow. Also, the tread wear is poor. I have 5 tires and rotate them every 3,000 miles, and I doubt I'll get more than 25,000 out of these. Next tires will be either Bridgestone or Continental CrossContact models, which have great snow ratings from your surveys.

...I was not impressed with the snow traction as far as stopping goes. It's a Jeep though and will go with any type of tire in my opinion. I have been contemplating getting another set only because of how long they lasted, but with the way they handle in snow I'll bow out and get something with a more aggressive tread...

These tires wore like no others I've ever had. After 60,000 miles they still have tread left, but with winter coming they have to finally go. I was not impressed with the snow traction as far as stopping goes. It's a Jeep though and will go with any type of tire in my opinion. I have been contemplating getting another set only because of how long they lasted, but with the way they handle in snow I'll bow out and get something with a more aggressive tread. If you drive where there is no snow, I highly recommend them.

...They are beyond horrible in the rain and snow.

All of the other reviews are spot on. Shame on Toyota for using such crappy tires. They are beyond horrible in the rain and snow.

Put your money elsewhere.

...Traction is excellent, stability is excellent... They also have progressive loss of grip, and are extremely predictable...

Had since purchase car new in 2011 and have since put 38000 miles. Rotated under normal Toyota service-always dealer serviced. Great tires, but would love to have gotten closer to 50k vs 38k miles! No traction issues and very quiet on the road. I may also contribute the low noise level to the Highlander's quality. Seems to be one of the more expensive tires for some reason. I will probably buy the same for my 2nd set since I know they ride nice and being a traveling salesman, comfort is very important. Tires at 38000 miles are right at a 2 when 10 is new tread.

These came with the 2012 Highlander Limited - very quiet tires and provides a comfortable ride.
Not to be used in snow, off-road and definitely not ice. OK for highway and city use.
I don't have 15k miles on the speedometer and I am replacing them next week with Michellin Lattitude as these Toyos are already down to the wear mark! Most of my driving has been suburban with some highway and a little snow.
I had Michellin tires on my last two Acura's and I never had to change them before selling the cars. Toyo must use plasticine instead of rubber!

Comfortable driving, quiet OEM tire that improves with time...

Comfortable driving, quiet OEM tire that improves with time. 3/32" after 33000 miles of 3 season use (I only use winter tires in winter in Canada). Handling could be better, though not bad, not sure if it is because of the tires or the vehicle. They are due for replacement soon - considering Pirelli Scorpio Verde All Season Plus or Continental CrossContact LX20 EcoPlus. I expect to give up a bit in comfort and gain a bit in handling and possibly treadwear(?). Consumers Reports found Michelin Latitude Tour tops in this category, though TireRack, not so much.

These tires came with our 2016 Toyota Highlander and even thought they are decent tires they are almost bald at 26500 miles. They are ok in every category except tread life which is awful. I would not recommend them at all because of this.
