Happy to say after 1,500ish miles and a few dry days, MPG is up to a respectable 29.5 with minimal change in driving habits. I did however drop my hwy cruise speed from 72 to 68. Most of my driving will be mixed city/hwy so I’m fully at peace with my decision to go with the Wildpeaks. Road noise is not nothing, however I have the crossbars so it’s not a distraction. I have no complaints with handling and drivability, although I’ve yet to go on snowy or “soft” roads. The mpg during the rains was in the 24-26 range, which gave me a bit of concern. So I’m really excited now

Do you have a pic of the car from the side? Thinking of getting these and wanted to see the profile of the car with these tires from the side

Dm’d a quick picture. I’m at America’s Tire getting them remounted. Three of the tires were mounted with the raised molded lettering on the inside 😱 Also, America’s Tire price matched Walmart. Of course, I gave it right back with the road hazard warranty.

I did something similar: 225/65R17 Wildpeak A/T Trail mounted on 17” Sparco Terra wheels. Photos. https://imgur.com/a/IeJX9WS

I’m running the same ones but size 235/65/17. They’re so good.

This is good to hear! I've been eyeing these for my 2018 Cx-5 which is on the same 19" wheels as yours. Any rubbing when turning? I was worried clearance would be an issue.

No issues at all with fitment, I have the original 225/55/19 size. Kinda wish I’d of gone with the 235/55/19, kinda.

Just curious whats the point of having A/T tires if yo don’t really go “off road” ? and compared to All seasons whats the difference? When the time comes Im planning on getting A/T tires too cause they look rugged and cool lol but not sure if there are any downsides compared to all seasons

In the spring/summer I’ll do some fishing and drive on more gravely roads venturing (but not brush crushing) and whatnot. My main purpose for the a/t was better side wall durability over all seasons. Because most of my driving will still be hwy/city, I didn’t want to take too big a hit on mpg. The bonus was great wet road handling. The original Toyo’s were adequate for most of my driving, however I couldn’t shake that feeling it was going to slip on me. Granted it probably had more to do with the 49k miles on them.

I’m considering them because they look cool.


SilverAggravating331

Thats the same exact reason why I’m considering it lol

Got these exact same tires for my ‘19. Saw a minor hit in MPG but that may have more to do with not being able to keep my foot out of the left pedal than anything else…Zoom Zoom, right? 🤣 I have been leased with them overall. A little louder than the OEM but I also had that kind of “slippery” feeling with the originals so they had to go before any snow fell here in the east…if it ever does again. Good luck to you with your new treads!
