Owner reviews for tires

My 23 had the Hankook OEM tires when I bought it new and changed them with about 45K I believe and they still had tread but one had a slow leak. I consider myself an “aggressive” driver and I only rotated them once in the time. The tech that did it in the parking lot at my office said they didn’t even need rotating. The wear was very even. I went with the Michelin and they are no where near as good as the Hankook. They are worse in wet and dry traction. They howl if there is any hard braking and break loose easily on wet pavement. The Hankooks were also great in the snow (Chicago area) driving 70 miles round trip to the office and back. Very unhappy that I switched. The Hankooks seemed to start getting loud but they wore perfectly even. I will definitely be switching back when the time comes in a year or so. If the Michelins suck in the snow, I’ll bite the bullet and switch back to the Hankooks right away.

On my second set of ion evo’s. First set lasted about 65k miles. Excellent tires.

Yea. Also. 17+. Has hill assist for getting rolling uphill which is a nice option.\n\nOtherwise. It’s good as long as you keep up on the maintenance.. I bought a 15’ with 120k miles and did all the major recent work when I got it and it’s a great car\n\nHandles well in the rain even on those stock tires n wheels. Good. OG 86 car…

It's a good little car. Fast enough to be fun but no so much to be too stupid. Well balanced. \n\nSpend a bit less money on the car, and buy a second set of wheels. \n\nYour best looking wheels out some good 200 tread wear summer tires on. Vitour P1 or Rival RS if you want them to last a while. \n\nLeast favorite wheels out Continental DWS-06+ all seasons (or proper four season tires if you're in a snowbelt state).\n\nThis is a car that responds well to grip.

DWS every single time

I've had both on my m340i (currently on the pzeros). Contis lasted 15k miles and were down to 1 mm. Iirc the contis also felt a tad bit floatier. Awesome dry grip on both. DWS were great in snow, have yet to go through a winter with the pirellis. 0 complains for either when it comes to heavy rain.

Continental DWS06+ on my performance.

I had two of these pirellis bubble on me around the same time. Replaced all four because apparently these tires are prone to bubbles in the first place.

I can vouch for the author's post. I work at a Hyundai dealership We've been having nothing but problems with Pirelli tires on these new Santa fes and Palisades.... Some will fail after 3,000 km some will fail after 10,000 km all with the same symptoms like the OP post bubbling sidewalls No there was no impact no damage done to rim nothing We've even had instances where these tires have been separating from the inside out the sound depth and foam will be losing its glue on the inside of the tire and come loose while driving cause some massive vibrations

Nothing new for the MRF wanderers skoda gives on their cars.

Faced this on 3 tyres at once and one even blasted suddenly when on a Highway doing 120, fed up with issues i constantly faced with these tyres and changed them all at once to continentals
