New Toyo's
Put the first 150 miles on 4 new Toyo's yesterday and so far so good. They rode as well as the Goodyers that they replaced. Time will tell. Anybody else running them, and how would you rate them.

Toyos were OEM with our coach and when it was time to replace, we replaced with the same. We do the steer tires one year and the duallys 2 later. We have been very happy with them.

I have had my Toyo's for 8 months and about 5000 miles and am happy so far.

Thank you all. I will update after a few thousand miles. Feeling a bit more confident now.

Had Fleetwood expedition approximately 6 months with brand-new Toyos when purchased. We have put approximately 4000 miles on them with no issues.

Guess I should add that since we are fulltimers we put about 10K miles a year on the tires. We do cover them when we are parked for more than 2-3 days, just to give a little extra help at keeping them functioning well. What they need more than anything else is to MOVE - - that works the plasticizers through them and keeps them going.

I managed a fleet of light tucks for a logging company in a previous life. We had Toyo's installed before the new one left the lot. Good highway ride, good off highway on what passed for roads in some areas and the only tire that would last than 50,000 km. Those clowns were hard on equipment.

Out west, Les Schwab Tire Centers sell Toyos as their "house brand". We've been customers for over 25 years. When we bought our current rig, it had 9-year old original equipment Goodyear tires on it. Knowing the "7 year rule" I decided to replace all the GY's immediately.
Without me even asking, our local Schwab store manager searched the warehouse inventory for the newest Toyos in stock and got me a set of 6 that were only 6 weeks after manufacture date.
All six (19.5" on my rig), with an alignment and new CRES valve stems was less than $2400. Very satisfied - I feel sorry for folks back east who don't have Schwab stores.
Note - no connection except a very long time as a satisfied customer.

I'm assuming that since you put the "7 year rule" in quotes that you actually realize there is no such thing.

I put TOYO's on my rig 6 months and 3000 miles ago. They were brand new shipment from the factory. IMHO they are the best tire for the money.

toyo tires
I had Toyo tires installed in January 2012. They have been great for me, smooth ride and a good tire. I have put about 3000 miles on them in a year.
