Owner reviews for tires

I ran the hankook ventus prime 3 for the last 3 years on my IS, next year i'm probably going with the nankang as-2+.

My car came with dunlop enasave ec300 tires which have maxium pressure of 2,75 bar and proper tire pressure for Leaf would be 2,6-3,0.

That aside the zeetex are good.

Seriously though, I hope an FE team bites the bullet and does a lap or two on modified slick tyres. Those cars are quite fast on that Hankook Tyre, and could be even faster on the slicks.

I have a 2019 SQ5, stock is 255/40 R21 but I found a deal on 245/45 R20 99V LM-32 Bridgestone Blizzaks.

Looks good. I did 275/60/20 E Range Recons back in January and have about 5k on em. Only one issue was the past few weeks I had a slight leak that ended up being three very small punctures from some framing nails. Plugged em myself and haven’t had an issue in a week so we’ll see if I fixed it.

Still no appreciable road noise, and the only noticeable mpg drop is in the city going light to light. On flat hwy the mpgs went down maybe 1 mpg over 120 mi. I’ve aired em down and taken them out on the beach and they performed perfectly. They’ve been on some back mountain roads in WV and had much more traction than the stockers.

Now, with the E rated tires vs the stock Goodyears, I did notice that the rear spin a LOT easier in the rain.

I wanted more aggressive tires but didnt want LT tires. These only weigh 48lbs compared to the Hankooks at 42lbs. I drove over an hour home from Discount and they handle great and no more road noise than the Hancooks.

I have a Finnish tire called Nokian outpost at/s and they work pretty damn well, have size 32s on a stock 3rd gen 4Runner and I went up to wheel in about 2 feet of snow last year about 5 or 6 times and only got stuck once in a deep snow drift on a hill. I’ve had no issues with them especially since they were 550 installed so not bad if you can get them and are on a budget, I think there are better options but for the price these have been almost flawless other than they are wearing a little faster then a expensive tire would, but that’s par for the course.

I’ve only had snows on my Crosstreks, but have driven on snow with stock tires with a friends Crosstrek. I live in an area that gets about 220 inches of snow a year, plus shoulder seasons of slush and ice. This is how I’d rank them-

Better- Crosstrek on stock- ok

Kumho tires don’t last, the rubber cracks out.
