Toyo

[George Hincapie]

Our XC90 was in at our local Volvo independent yesterday for an annual service and a few other jobs. He mentioned the front tyres need changing (we got an advisory on the MOT a few weeks ago) and suggested the Toyo brand.

We have always used Hankook Dyna Pro tyres since we have owned it, but he said Toyo are well regarded. I know nothing about that brand, what do you guys think?

What would you recommend Fox? They are 235/65/R18.

The Dyna Pros have been excellent; hard wearing, not much road noise and some utility if we get a snow fall. But as you say, wet performance is probably more important given how infrequently we have snow. So I guess I am looking for minimal road noise, excellent wet performance and assured braking performance. Really happy to look at the Contis if they are going to improve what we have.
