Toyo R27 tyres

summer tyres / for cars / original equipment tyres

These tyres 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)
