I loved everyone of my 4 Toyotas. not a fan of our highlander. Hate the cruise control, seating positions marginal, infotainment is terrible. Wife likes it so she'll keep it but I chose to take the explorer with 100k more miles on it this week to OH and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Got 4 new tires for the X5 when I bought it. It felt weird and when I looked, I had at least 2 different load ranges. Put on Michelin. The convertible eats them (or any tire really, fucking sport suspension), but they ha been great in all circumstances save for wear. The X5 has gone 50k and I still got a good 1/8s till the wear bars. Blizzaks in the winter. Hands down the best.

Told her to throw blizzaks on as she hates driving in weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just buy a 4-5 old ram hemi. they seem to have finally fixed the rust issues and the interior and economy is way better than a Tundra for a lot less money. I went to Toyota because I was done with Dodge and GMC. I traded my GMC at 93K becasue the engine was failing. The Dodge before that had the engine replaced at 75K (77 k warranty so I was lucky) and still needed a new fuel sending unit and instrument cluster so I traded that. To early to tell of the Totota will be better with only 26k on it currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Toyota because I just wanted something different from my Fords and GMs. I’ve had none of the little nagging issues my domestics always had, and it’s definitely worth more on the used market when I decide to sell. Pushing 100k now with not one single issue. (Sequoia) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviews sound great and because I have dedicated Cooper snows, these should fit the bill nicely. https://us.coopertire.com/tires/discoverer-srx I just got these installed today. When I asked about prices last week I was told $1310.00 OTD but luckily I found a quote that I got back in the spring for $1220.00. Yesterday, I did another quote request and asked if they could match the same price and without hesitation I received an email saying no problem. They ordered them yesterday and called today at 11:30 to tell me they were in. About an hour later I was on my way. I only did about 10 miles before coming home so not much of a review but they definitely ride nice and smooth and are quiet! The mileage warranty of 120,000 km's is better than Michelin's at 115,000 but of course only time will tell. At around $300 dollars cheaper than Michelin's, I figured it was worth a shot, especially after reading numerous, positive reviews about them. https://us.coopertire.com/tires/discoverer-srx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I hate Goodyears as well, but last set of tires on the truck went with Dura's, reviews were great and price was good.....they have been really good, run them all year for I think the last 3 or 4 years, rotate every 10,000 km. I have ran Coopers for winter tires on may last truck and they were good, ran Toyo's in the summer, which were also great, but expensive and a real heavy tire.

She is currently running the stock 3 season Good years but runs Cooper winters when the snow flies. With my dad really liking his Coopers on his car and now with me fully running Coopers (snows for 7+ years now) I don't think I can go wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
