Toyo R27

I used them in Israel (for a little more than 4 years, about 57000km), and saw them on other cars as well. They started to dry after about 3 years (probably because of the weather) and that is the main reason I replaced them (this was the main reason they wear out). All in all, they did a good job and I had no special issue with them.

These tires come stock on my new mazda 2. Wanted to change them but was strongly advised by the sales guy not to bcs it is Japanese import and those tires are expensive to begin with. Before purchasing the car , of course test drove it and found everything related to the tires to be acceptable , except for the noise which I personally am very very sensitive to , and cannot apply broadly across all consumers. Damm solid tires. Road handling , grip, rolling , responsiveness and overall feel made driving very enjoyable. There are better tires out there to beat the R27 for noise, but they pale in other more important (safety) parameters like grip and responsiveness. And since R27 is a premium performance touring tire, thank god they came stock with the Mazda! Would I buy ? Hell no.... Too expensive for me (hey I bought the Mazda 2, ya . lol)

This tires were originaly fitted to my Mazda 2. Didn't expect much of them (judging by their pattern) but they turned out to be quite good in all spring-summer-autumn weather conditions. The wear and the economy is excellent.

Like with all the other summer tires, do not expect much of them in winter conditions.

The only negative comment I have is that they do not have rim-guard even though they have "55" profile.
