Owner reviews for tires

Kumho is top dog in the midrange right now, I’d go for them.

Yup, the Wranglers suck. Thankfully 255/65-19 KO3s coming out soon! And there is enough room for 33s under the new Defender, so 20s aren't a bad option if you don't want to downsize brakes for 18s (on the I6). I'm running AT3s and they are TOUGH. I just need some more sidewall. And it handles/drives so so well. I go from trails to twisties with zero effort or compromise.

I can’t say I agree I’ve had nothing but good things to say about them. I have the 285/70/r17 size and previously I had ko2’s on. These amp terrains are not only a smoother and more quiet ride, but they look almost identical to ko2’s and they were half the price

I bought a set of Sportsmart mk3 last year on my mt09, and I have to say, It's the best choice I've made. The rear is now done after 15k kms, and I ride quite aggressive, power wheelies, fast twisties. I didn't expect it to last this long.

Idk what these people above are talking about kenda vezda UHP A/S being bad. To me they feel 98% like a michelin pilot sport a/s or even a Conti A/S just at half the price of those tires. Cant beat em in my opinion, im on my 2nd set on my Elantra N

Michelins are cheaper to run because overall they last longer both in mileage and cracking. $ per mile much cheaper.

I went with the Michelin Defender 2 on my last set, and now I totally get why they’re so popular. The ride is super quiet and smooth—even on rough pavement—and they’ve been wearing incredibly well. I’m already past 40,000 miles with plenty of tread left, so I believe the 80,000-mile warranty is legit. Wet traction has been solid too, and I feel confident driving in all kinds of weather.

I got 50,000 on a set of these and never rotated them. They were howling pretty bad because of it, and totally my fault. I went in to replace them and the tire shop said I had plenty of tread to go farther, I just couldn't stand the howl anymore.

I've got a set of Yokohama tires I use for the summer. Very little wear on them, they've seen about 15,000 km total use, not cracked or dry rotted, stored indoors over the winter. They are however from 2016. This year I started hearing a whine in the front end, sounded a bit like a wheel bearing. On freshly laid asphalt it's silent or nearly so. On older pavement it's louder. On the highway in rain, it got REALLY loud, and I could feel a hum in the pedal. Like, loud enough I slowed to about 80kph as I was worried something was going to let go on the car. Pavement went dry? Went back to the normal "bearing" noise. Theres no shaking or balance issues, they drive true and straight, it's just this noise. Car is a 2011 santa fe, in Canada. I bought the tires new in 2016.

I just had a set of four of the same Nokian tires replaced after only 2 years and 10,000 miles. They're terrible tires.
