Toyo Report: NEVER AGAIN
The Toyo's are stiffer than the OEM Goodyear's, but they are not showing premature wear like I also had on my OEM tires, or cracking like I had in Michelins. After this week ( I am at the end of a 4 week national adventure) we will have put ~8,000 miles on them since they were installed. BUT, and this is the NEVER EVER AGAIN part, my tires smell like a sewer. Really. I called Toyo before I purchased them, and the fact that they suphurize their commercial tires never came up. Apparently not all Toyo tires stink, but Toyo was nonchalant when I called them about the smell. It could go away with time, or not. That was what I was told. There was nothing I could do to reduce the off gasing. So far I am in the not category, so if you like your campsite smelling like someone dumped out all the doggy poopy scoop bags under your RV, go for the Toyos.
