Angry TOYO A05 tire problems

I just failed a state inspection becuse my TOYO PROXES A05's that came on the car as original equipment, were worn out after 12,000 miles in 22 months!!! I find out that there is no warranty on these garbage tires. In the glove box are goodyear and firestone booklets. Has anyone else had bad experiences with these tires? I drive under 20 miles a day on city streets. I even wasted my money rotating the %$^#s.

i had the stock toyos on mine but yea that went 2 crap fast, but trust me the other 2 you just listed are actually worse, im gettin rdy 2 invest in another set of nitto neo gen only reason why mine went bad after a combined total of dunlops (pre-worn) and set of toyos is because i got knocked out of alignment but the 1 tire thats still good has about 40k miles on it with about 60% tread.

You don't want the Goodyears that came on the car either. I have 15k on mine and from the looks of them will probably get 30k out of them but, they are not a good tire. You definitely don't want them if you get any snow. There's been discussions on what brand and model of tire to get.

www.tirerack.com...

I love that site, then I do a search on the tire I find online and see where the cheapest price is.

Then I bring it to my local town fair tire dealership and they match the price for me and install the tires. Its sick!

This is the tire I am thinking about getting:
