Yoko H4, T4, or Toyo TPT?

Am really deciding between the Yokohama T4 (treadwear should be good for 100,000kms..but is only T-rated), Yoko H4 (treadwear rating not as high at 75,000 kms, but is H speed rated), and the Toyo TPT...a tire to fit exact OE specifications: treadwear should be good til 100,000kms, and is V-rated.

Thoughts?

Sticking with '99 specs of 205/60/16

I have the Toyo TPT's and I love them. Can't go wrong. Excellent wet traction and a great ride. Highly recommended.

Yoko (got good feedback from others on the board and owners of other vehicles with the H-rated tires) ... even though I like my Toyo Proxies4. My

Got the Toyo TPTs


Have almost had them on for a week. The one thing I really do notice is that they feel much better when cornering when compared to the Michelin MXV4s.

Oh - and can I mention that they're so much smoother, quieter, and stickier compared to the Snows I've had on all winter?! Ahhhhh I welcome warmer weather!

Got the TPTs? I think you mentioned that in another thread ... be sure to give us a report on how well they wear over time. They were part of my thought process in the all-season VS dedicated snows thread ... (ahem!)

Yep.... even the guy at my trusted tire shop said the TPT is one of their better tires, and not to bother with the Yoks... I'd already decided on the TPTs before gettin' there... he had no idea I was already leanin' towards those. They even look quite different than the Yokohama's when comparing tread pattern...I sorta figured the Toyo's would do really well! And I don't need a true performance tire, so I stayed away from the Proxes 4.
