Owner reviews for tires

Maxxis are expensive but consistently pretty good. You’ll get the odd tire with a warped casing. But overall pretty much anything they make is solid.

I live in the PNW. I have had the defender and cross climate on my outback. I personally prefer the cross climate so far. We drive in very wet weather and snow. I have not had any issues so far. I do like the handling in extreme rain and light snow with the cross climates.

I have Michelin Defender 2s on my Civic, and they're great. I'm in North Carolina, so I get loads of rain. I had them on my old Cruze, too, and they were the best part of that car. They still had decent tread left after 50,000 miles when I sold it.

Still on my stock tires for my Outback but I have Defender 2s on a RAV4 hybrid. Not the same car, I know, but they have been so awesome in wet conditions. No issues with hard braking either. The tread also wears extremely well.

I just got them. I really like them. They are quiet and handle really well. On my way home every day, I have to make a left hand up hill. You have to be pretty quick because the visibility is pretty bad. My old tires would occasionally spin up while turning. The Defenders act like nothing has changed.

Good rubber. The quality and duro of the rubber and the casing is 90% of what makes a tire good. Good round tires that mount easily. Especially tubeless.

I sell alot of Sailun product for many years now. Each year we sell more and more. In terms of issues, almost non existant.

I had the first set of Dunlops till about 12k miles when the dealership stole one of my wheels during a rotation and put someone's busted wheel and tire with 1/8th less tread on it on my car. After some threats of legal action I got a new wheel and 4 new Dunlops, which lasted roughly 20k miles, mostly commuting.

Lol falken tires were bald within 3000 miles, continentals have almost 12k and still look new.

Nexen and Sailun are low tier tire brands - they are trying to suggest affordable tires already.
