Toyota Mr2 Tires
Introduced in 1984, the Toyota MR2 was an economical mid-engine sports car that used fairly conventional tech in a sporty package and had the distinction of being the first mid-engine sports car from Japan. The MR2 was a popular model, with three generations that lasted into 2007. Interestingly, the MR2’s origins date way back to 1976 when it was envisioned as a fun-to-drive economy car. That vision got a lot more sporty on its way to production, thanks in part to a partnership with Lotus to develop its steering and suspension. The second-generation MR2 was more refined and powerful, while the final generation (debuting in 2000) was available with a Spider-Cabrio body style. The final iteration of the MR2 had considerable weight savings for stronger performance with its 138 hp 1.8L all-aluminum 4-cyl engine. Interestingly, 3rd-gen MR2s were available with an SMT semi-automated manual transmission that was controlled by steering wheel paddles – an early example of such a transmission.
Using SimpleScore, here are the best Toyota MR2 tires on the market today.
1. Toyo Eclipse A-S – Best All-Season tire
Let’s get this list started with the Toyo Eclipse A-S, a great value in an all-season tire. We give the Toyo Eclipse A-S a SimpleScore of 8.4 for traction, with its specialized all-season tread pattern and wide, open circumferential and lateral grooves that boost wet-weather performance by evacuating water from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning. Handling comes in at a solid SimpleScore of 8.6, thanks to the Eclipse A-S’s reinforced shoulder design and solid center rib that improves steering response and stability. The Eclipse A-S falls off a bit in longevity with a SimpleScore of 7.6. It’s also worth noting that the Eclipse A-S uses Toyo’s Silent Wall technology that reduces pipe noise and cancels certain frequencies to keep road noise to a minimum.
