Worst tires ever

This tire came with our 2021 Mazda CX30. The car seemed to handle/ride somewhat sloppily, a surprise from experiences with previous Mazda ownership.
A dealership alignment emproved the car somewhat, but although it still did not match up to my other two cars, or my previous Mazda ownership experience. At 20k+ mileage 1 tire sucked a nail, I went a local tire dealer for an evaluation/repair, and it was deemed destroyed, but replaceable for $311.00, but none were in stock. This gave me the opportunity to check internet reviews of this tire. The most respected customer reviews rate this tire at no higher than 1-1/2 stars. All other tires are rated no lower than 3. I plan to put a set of Continentals on the car and see if there's any true Mazda fun in it.

OEM Tire on a 22' Mazda 3. Quite possibly the worst tire I've had on a car, and I've had some bad economy tires before.

As a performance tire, dry traction is mediocre at best. Breaking traction with a measly 170whp is suspiciously easy. Driving on these tires in the rain feels a bit like driving on snow; both times its equally scary. Sidewalls are pretty soft, yet somehow they manage to translate a lot of bumps in the road, and quite a bit of road noise aswell. Not impressive either way honestly.

As a commuter tire its not great either, they've managed to survive 38k miles (rotated every oil change) but they're on the wear bars for sure. All in all they don't come close to justifying the price point.

These tires came stock on my 2023 camry xse awd. At first I loved them, they were quiet, comfy and handled good. My second season on them they got noisey as they wore down and wet handling got worse as you'd expect with wear. My biggest gripe is they don't last super long and are very expensive for how long they last. They are a tough tire though, never had any issues with potholes or anything and found out the hard way that toyotas oem rims will be damaged before the tire itself. They offer good performance but they just don't last and are too pricey. Got roughly 30k kms on them and they are worn down to the wear bars.

This tire came with my 2023 Mazda CX 30. The tire has precise steering specially on dry roads. It can take turns around corner with minimal understeer and easily steer car back in a straight line with ease. However, on wet driving, there is a slight increase in understeer and have to let off the accelerator to minimize understeer around corners. Noise is more noticeable when speed is increased on highway driving and a noticeable humming on smooth asphalt road and more grumbling on a slight rough road surface. Hydroplaning is noticeable at speed of 50 mph on a rain downpour as the rear end with slight fishtailing. Bump are felt harshly even on shallow plate holes on the road and was concern that it may damage the tire sidewall but luckily did not have that problem. So, try to avoid potholes, even shallow ones, as there is a higher risk of tire puncture. I cannot comment on how it handles in cold, snowy weather as I live in sunny Florida. The tires has seen 11,000 miles on it and have notices also that there is an increased in road noise. Apparently as tire aged, more road noise is present. Will I repurchase this tire again? Most likely not. There are better tires with much better performance, less road noise, comfortable ride and better treadwear.

I read the comments and the evaluation and apart from the noise which increases with wear everything is acceptable, except they are very expensive for the performance $432.00 in Canada

These oem tires came on 2021 Lexus ES and are without a doubt the WORST tires I have ever had. They became extremely noisy at 10k and now are down to the wear bars at 20k. Dealer told me this is normal for these but I cannot believe that Lexus would put such poor quality tire on their products. After researching a replacement tire they have been replaced with Pirelli P7 AS plus3's and the car drives/rides/handles like it did when new. Do yourself a favor and do not purchase this tire for your vehicle...I wouldn't put these jokes on a covered wagon!

Just left the Lexus dealer after an oil change and tire rotation. 28,323 and the car needs new tires. Really? These OEM tires are junk. Rotated every 5K during oil change and probably 75% of the miles are highway. Don't EVER buy these.

Great tires! Lots of reviews say they’re bad but I never has any problems with them. Great grip and handling!

Bought 2021 Camry new. It has 29K mikes & was told it needs new tires at the dealership. Got a 2nd opinion & they believe I’m close to needing a new set. Leas than 30k & needing new tires is crazy. These have been regularly balanced & rotated with oil changes every 5k miles. I’m so surprised to see the cost of this particular brand of tires. Not happy!

OEM tire on a 2022 Camry SE. Extremely poor traction in all conditions, including dry weather on good road surfaces. Extensive skidding under hard braking with poor control ability, combined with excessive stopping distance. Limited grip is noticeable under even the mildest of spirited driving. Considered these tires unsafe with under 200 miles (yes, two hundred) and replaced them with a competing, premium brand that cost less yet immediately remedied all of the above concerns.

OEM tire with my CX 30 and have 6000 miles on them in mostly city driving. These tires are noisy! and the comfort is not the greatest. The Turanzas do have good feedback and seem adequate in the wet and light snow. When pushing the CX 30 it does feel confident to a degree with trust in the tires. After a certain point tho you do back off due to the weight transfer of the car, not attributed to the tires. Would I buy them again? Yes I probably would, then change them out for a dedicated winter tire when the cold arrives.
