Owner reviews for tires

Personally go with nitto ridge grapplers .. they are fantastic on the highway not loud.. very comfortable… also though they are amazing in sand and off road dirt/mud. I bough the ridge grapplers that you can easily get 50-60k miles with normal rotation..

Once I put Pilot Sports onto my V40 that thing just came alive. It didn't have crazy power obviously but you could use all of it, all the time and I kept up with or outran much quicker BMWs, Mercs and VWs because it could handle corners (especially once I got the hang of heel-toeing).

I specifically asked for the Continental VikingContact 8 on steel rims as the Contis have shown to be almost identical as the Nokian on snow and ice, but much better on cold dry roads and in rain. They also have better fuel economy and wear.

I lived in Chicago and had a summer/all season rotation on my tuned M240i, RWD. Never had any issues on my Continental DWS06 in winter once the roads were treated. They handled snow fine as any RWD, 400hp car should.

I had Hankook Dynapros on Tacoma. They were quiet on road and still aggressive enough for off road or foul weather.

I had some Yokohama Geolandar at/4s on my xterra and tundra and I love(d) them. They still give the look while keeping the noise down in my expirience .

Been on the Defender m/s2 for 26,300mi. Still at 44mph average speed. 2.25mi/kwh. They have better steering response and overall grip than A/T which anyone would expect, quieter but not silent, lacking in the looks department, wearing better than Pirellis but faster than the Michelin treadlife prediction. Tire noise has not gotten worse as they age, possibly quieter but I deal with a lot of wind noise so not sure.

My opinion, Pirelli was at one time a very good brand if you were looking for a performance tire, in recent years though it seems that they have become complacent and aren't really trying to innovate and as such have become a mediocre tire company at best. But for a decent low cost tire, Kumho is a fair bet.

I used RS4s and as much as I love them as a daily driver/back road tire they’re practically useless as an autocross tire. They need lots of heat to get grippy and I never managed to get that from an autox run.

I have them on my 2023 Highlander with 20" wheels, they were the OEM tire for my vehicle. After 2 years and 36k miles, I can say they're absolute trash. Mine just reached 4/32 - 5/32 recently. They slip terribly on wet roads, they don't inspire much confidence at all, and they are one of the worst tires I've ever owned.
