The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I was using Yokohama set of 4 V105 & 4 RV2 on this MPV before. RV2 is silent & comfort type of tire where V105 is comfort & light performance set of tire.
MPV users usually prefer comfortable ride but I’m driving a 3.5L V6 MPV I need a set of tire can have good grip in dry as well as wet.
Surprisingly V601 is much quieter than I thought, side wall firm & excellent road conditions transmitting.
Have never had wheels on metal in a bit over a year before,
They were out VERY fast,
Second hand Japanese tires used to last me 4-5 years of light driving and never run down to metal,
These were rubbed out in a bit over a year on parts so quickly...

All this people that say this 2 rating and rubbish tire actually are dammed stupid and egotistical i should say and they are playing with placebo effect..before i use this westlake sa07 i use yokohama and continental tire..there is no difference whatsoever in handling and actually this westlake cornering is way better than overatted Yokohama tire…its on par with the continental tire..thk westlake for nanufacturing this really germs underated tire..thk again..keep up the good work
Like other reviews said, noisy tires, if you live where it frequently rains, avoid this tire. It likes dry roads.
Good tire, grip well in dry, short braking, last longer than average. Overall satisfy with the performance & wear.
Downside is only noisy. You can feel the bumper and yellow line or bumpy road. A little bit pricey too.
I am not familiar with continental tire and confusing with the model names called "ultra". I read the review that shows good response then I give a a green buy. About the comfort and noise, it is excellent. But for handling and safety at high speed, I will say so so and make me worry as I like to cruise at high speed. I put this one to my Estima that I plan to for more comfort and less noise cruising. I realize that it is not a best choice for UC6 as it is too soft y for the side wall. Mfg tire pressure is 33psi that has give you the body rolling over when cornering and bouncing when travelling straight line. To improve it, I purposely add in 1-2 psi to increase the stiffness of side wall. Yes, it helps. I was choosing between BS GR100 and Conti MC5. Thus, next time I shall have consult with expert to have a better handling performance tire but also enjoy the comfort and quiet at versatile choice.
I have Put these Tires on My 2002 3ltr Estima , Prior tires on this veiciel where Yokahama which tracked and ejected water perfectly and worn well .. So the RE003 , They are whereing Hard , Tire wall says 220 wear which is bad Had I knowen I would not have Brought them 220 is like a soft racing compond , But the grip you get is greasy rolliey ,8,000k's and Im over Half worn on my Front tires ( I've driving them like a nanna) , I have had to use these tires at nearly the max Rated PSI to stop my Estima rolling around like a bitch (the Yok"s never made me worry) , one off the four is dropping Psi badly.. Im a ex tire fitter and Not at all Impressed.. If if could have my money back I Would, Yes I have brought many brigdestone tires over 30 years,truck tires too k .. I feel I paid $260 for a $80 dollar tire ...
Extremely satisfied with these tires for my Toyota Estima, served me well for this size its load index and speed index are difficult to find for the price. I drive only on roads with no off-road driving.
I had a nail that cut into my OE Yokohama E70 on my 2008 Toyota Estima Aera G at about 1.5 year (30,000 km mileage). I changed all 4 tires to the Toyo Proxes 1CS.
Let's talk about the positive side of this tires
1. It has a treadwear rating of 300, Traction rating of AA and temp. of A.
2. Steel belted on the tread side that made it very insubsceptible to nail puncture. In fact, I saw a screw that breaks half way and did not penetrated the tire.
3. It is reinforced and can carry extra load. Mine is rated at 98, enough for 3000kg of laden weight.
4. Even tire wear at the edge of the tire. This is very good as I don't get the wear off at the edges of the tire anymore.
Now the negative
1. It is only quiet when new. When the tread level goes below half worn, it is noisy.
2. If you don't have a lot of tire shop that deliver Toyo in your area, please do not get this as Toyo is very difficult to source in certain area.
3. It has a bumpy feel even I applied tire UV protector on the sidewall weekly and this tires are less than 1 year old only. Maybe due to the stiffer sidewalls.
This is a good tire if country have good Toyo dealership and support.
