    I have the Toyo tires on mine. I drove in light, moderate, and heavy rain. Traction has been fine. Never felt the car was losing traction.

    Thank you! Noise is bearable too?

    Considering how expensive these 19” tires are I guess the advantage of the Toyos is they won’t be as expensive to replace. Maybe a blessing in disguise. Tire store said Michelin tires aren’t what they used to be regarding wear but still great performance and traction.

    Honestly yes they are bearable to me at least. This vehicle insulates outsides noise better than my 2 previous vehicles (CT200h and Corolla Hatchback). I would be okay with getting the same tires again if I had to.

    I believe they are drain plugs.

    They have a tab, I don't see and draining holes. Is your car like mine or were they removed by the dealer?
