Owner reviews for tires

I run the Nokian Nordmans (without studs) on my 24 XL Hybrid here on the coast of Maine. Last winter my MPG did drop a bit, probably by 2-3 miles. The peace of mind is worth the mileage.

My MPG dropped from 41.2 to 38.7 when I switched to Falken Wildpeak AT3 all terrains this summer. I couldn’t do another winter on crappy tires.

EESTIT MAINUTUD RAAWWWRRRR

GP5000 S-TR are a bit lighter/thinner than PZero Race - thus LESS puncture resistant.

so, stick with PZero Race ;)

Michelen X-ice for my XC60. Now I crunch everywhere I go but necessary in this environment.

Will be same here in a few weeks, except Michelin X ice on steels. They kinda look small on the truck to me compared to the XLT wheelset but they ride good. If you have AWD, you will really be loving it in the snow. FWD is serviceable, but can slip going uphill if I have to stop. Torque steering in deep snow too, I have to apply constant corrections. AWD should be much better. There is an efficiency hit with the softer rubber, but low temps make a much bigger impact on mpg I think. Not a worry really, just the cost of doing business.

I’m at 220k. About 150k were all pilot sports. The ion evos made an immediate impact in sound and efficiency. These are what I will be going forward with on my vehicles from now on.

They aren't bad, but not great. They are basic tirees that will get you from point A to B. I just bought a set for my Buick Encore after having Continental tires. Drove cross country with them. Obviously not as good as the Continentals, but they are a safe, reliable, tire from a reputable brand. Keep them rotated during oil changes and you should be just fine.

I hate them, not good in rain or wet as pulling bass boat up a ramp, the steeper the worst. Hard to keep balanced, noisy.

with the balancing issues on the KO3 I decided to switch it up this year.
