Owner reviews for tires

The best upgrade i did was ditch the stock faulkens at about 20-25K of use and went with 225-55-17 all season tire for summer use.

Oh, and the combination of 4Motion + Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires works perfectly when driving in conditions of freezing drizzle with temps in the high teens and low 20s...

1st thing I did when I got my Alltrack was drive to discount tire and trade my Falkens for some Conti PURECONTACT LS. Got $50 per tire on trade. OEM tires always seem to be cheap versions of their namesake that wear our early etc. Swap em now or before next winter.

We just had our third major snowfall of the season (11'' here in Denver) and again, I'm quite pleased with the way the Giti's have performed at 19K miles. Traction and braking are above average on packed snow and frozen snow.

I have slightly stretched Federal RS-RRs that still grip as much as the meaty Hankook V12s I used to run. Very affordable, but I've heard they're very poor in the rain.

I got falkens a couple days ago so far ride quality is great 150 a piece

I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.

I have only used their previous version, Winguard Sports. Can't complain about them. They are a performance winter, so snow and ice won't be as good as a Xice Xi3, blizzak ws-80 or Hakkapeliitta tire

I have Nakang NS2 in the front of my Alfa Romeo Brera. The Brera demands a lof of from front tires, they wear pretty well and have pretty decent grip (not great).

The thing is, you may like or not like, they have a soft construction. So you are more on the confortable side, but roll a bit more on corners and give you less steering feedback than a better tire like Michelin PSS.

When I had my e46 it was wearing a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paws. In the course of the next 30k miles (almost exclusively highway miles), they all warped one by one and had to be replaced. I don't remember exactly how old the tires were but the last one was around 4 years old when it went, and each tire still had a decent amount of tread left in every case. I will never buy Uniroyal tires as long as I live.
