2010 mazda 3 with toyo's?

[billd80]

Hi guys, It seems everyone got bridgestone tires oem with their 2010's, I got mine with toyo a20? (I think it's a20), just wondering if anyone else did. In my paperwork I have a warranty card for Bridgestones, which obviously I don't have.

I've never seen Toyo offered as part of OE. I believe 2010 on 16 inch rims/wheels come with Bridgestone Turanza EL400. It could be possible the dealer had replaced them for some reason.

anyhow Toyo are good tires too... so not too much to worry about as long as they are brand new

TOYO tires FTW.

Toyo OEMs like this are meh... much like the EL400 and 17" Yokohama offering on Mazdas.

As mentioned in a previous thread, the tires you get with your car is not the same if you got the exact same tire from a tire shop :thumbsup.

good point.... OE tires in general are garbage.

Thx for the replies, I wasn't aware but am however not surprised about the oe Tire issue Bman mentioned. My sister in laws 2010 Toyota Rav4 is equipped with the same tires, they seem a little tread heavy almost more like a winter type tread, which is good untill I can afford some general arctimax!. They have been good so far with about 3" of snow and a little ice.

Interesting enough, when I googled the tires all I can come up with is that they are actually a light truck/suv tire?!!, usually come oe on highlanders and rav4's, They make a proxie version of the a20, but I believe they are actually the "open country" light truck/suv tires. WTF! (oh and they are also supposed to be absolute junk):flaming

Most people sell their factory tires and use that money to get better ones.

as just posted the 07-09 mazda 3 gs and gx cam with the toyo a20. so this could of been like a final good by of the stock mazda had left from teh 09 cars. They arent a light truck tire. u cant even buy under the same name after market... they were a specially made tire for mazda. this is everythting i was told by the dealer when i got my car and was selling my stock rims and tires.
