    I look at it this way, the tire is what is keeping you on the road…so why risk it with a cheap tire?

    i also ask because they can be a great tire and keep money in my bank account. Not all that is cheap is bad. I have ko2’s on my tundra that are over $500 each now and they have 45k km (28k miles) on them and are garbage.
    Looking for anyone with experience with these tires.

    Not to lump an entire country and culture into a simple statement, but can you think of one quality export that ever came out of Russia?

    I take that back. I used to run Kaspersky antivirus, until Windows eventually surpassed them.

    ... But that's it.

    well I guess they are made in China. Which is a country that makes good as well as bad products, which is why I’m asking for anyone with experience

    KO2s are garbage and expect a knockoff to be better? Wonder if these are recaps by chance given the tread design. Why not try another tire from a reputable manufacturer? $35k plus for the truck and skimp on tires.

    Ko2’s on my Tacoma were good for the 3 years I had them.

    once again I’m looking for anyone who has run these road cruza’s. They are not re treads. I don’t write things off simply because they are less money than the competition. If that was the case I would have bought a frontier pro 4x as here in Canada it is more money than my Tacoma, which was $50,440 plus tax (15%) and dealer fees.

    Well I found quite a few reviews from Australia and talked to a few people I work with and all were positive. I’ll be the Tacoma world Guinea pig and I should have them by early next week. Less than half price of ko2’s and everyone I’ve talked to says they perform great. We shall see.

    Showed up in less than 24 hours. Getting them mounted on 16” fuel rebels.

    16.5/32” and the sidewalls feel thicker than diratracs but not as stiff as ko2’s.

    Will report back after I get some miles on them.

    Put them on my truck today and did a mixture of driving. 31psi and they handle great so far. Quiet, less tram lining on the highway grooves likely due to the 10ply rating. Ride better/smoother than stock tires around town

    Priority tire has the Road Cruza 267-75 16 for $177 each, just my luck as I just ordered a set of Wildpeaks AT3w. Too late now, but I would have given them a try.

    The tire sidewalls look cool, I'll give them that, and I found it funny when I clicked on the link on the first post that my computer wants to translate from Russian to English. Pretty sure @Discount Tire won't be price matching Russian knock off tires. lol

    Tires have remained quiet no issues, minimal tread wear, no weird wear patterns. Suppose to get 20cm (8”) tomorrow so that’ll be a test. But I must confess, in September I slid the Tacoma over to the wife and I jumped in a new tundra trd off road and put on 295/70r18 wildpeaks.

    They are made in China, a quick search on discount tire confirmed my suspicion that they also sell Chinese made tires. The Russian link was simply because Russia seems to have the most reviews of these tires
