I have no idea who cleared this tire at Toyota to be mounted from factory on my 2026 Hilux Invincible but it is an abysmal tire. In South of France in the Pyrenees during summer (!) the understeer is absurd (even with different tire pressures) and rightout dangerous, not to mention wet handling... I think this tire was mounted to meet European emission standards because I would not even mount these tires on my worst enemies car. Maybe in America where roads are straight it might fair well, but on European twisty roads it is pure horror. I have nothing good to say about this tires. Went to a Falken Wilpeak A/T3WA AT tire that SHOULD be worse since it's an A/T but what.a.difference. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy this tire if you live in Europe, you will cry.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Toyota Hilux 2.8 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
In wet conditions, the performance has been just as reassuring. Water dispersal is very effective, and I’ve experienced strong traction when accelerating, braking, and cornering in heavy rain. Compared to previous road-focused tires I’ve used, these inspire at least the same level of confidence, if not more, especially when the road surface is less than perfect.
Off-road and on mixed terrain is where these tires truly shine. Whether driving on gravel, dirt, grass, or muddy surfaces, traction remains consistent and predictable. The tires handle transitions between surfaces smoothly, which makes them ideal for both daily driving and weekend adventures.
Comfort has exceeded my expectations. Despite the rugged tread, road noise is minimal, and the ride quality is smooth and well-damped. Long journeys are comfortable, with no noticeable increase in vibration or harshness compared to standard tires I’ve used before.
Wear rate has also been excellent so far. After significant mileage, the tread shows very even wear, which suggests strong durability and good value over time. Overall, these all-terrain tires deliver an outstanding balance of grip, comfort, and longevity, making them one of the best tire choices I’ve had on my car
