It sure looks pretty bad in the picture. but its not as bad if u look it in person.

The main point is, same people driving, same car, same conditions BUT Toyos will give up and leave *cuts* on their sidewall, while none other brand got this problem.

First sidewall cut was the day I got the tire, no parking, nothing. Just driving normally on the road, some rocks past by, I can tell its really small by the sound, then *phish......* The sidewall popped and the result was 250 bux.

Second time, I dont even know what happen, the sidewall just pop.

Third time my bro was driving, a really small pothole, died.

and notice one thing, all of the sidewall cut came from the *inner sidewall* not the outside. so it has nothing to do with *parking skills/driving skills*

Thanks. Thats a great help. Maybe you should try to live in NYC, then u talk ?

I know the Toyos got great traction. I had them for couple of months and they're pretty good. Its just that I dont like their sidewalls.


You guys can say my driving sucks, but please if you live in NYC long enough you will know what I mean. and remember, the SER is not mine nor is the Quest. My wheel has the best condition (fine, my father's van wheels are near perfect too ...)

Again, same people, same car, same wheels, same roads, different tire. results ? ... Bridgestone FTW !

Hey guys, I have an '04 AT (yes, I know) and I need to pick up some new tires myself.

I was looking at the Kumho Ecsta ASX. But if that's not a good tire let me know. I live in the NW so I really need something that does all season/wet conditions well, but still would be considered high performance. My wife has me on a budget of $450 for four tires.

Other suggestions?

some people on this site got the Avon Tech M550 A/S and like it, its not expensive.

I have Bridgestone Protenza RE960 A/S Pole Position and I love it.
