I bought 6 toyos last fall and so far ( 4K miles later ) I would recomend them. The michelin"s that were on it had a date code of 03 and had several cracks and a belt coming loose with 34K miles on them so I can't complain. I couldn't get a good answer as to when I count get some fresh michlin tires or bridgstones and had th wait 4 weeks for the toyo tires but I got tires that were a week old and a good price.
PS I also found tha people that recap tires pay a premium price for toyo's because of the quality of the casings.
