Owner reviews for tires

my Frontier's 18" OEM Hankook AT's lasted over 5 years and 63k I don't think I rotated them once

I use Nexen Roadian RA8 tires on my Tahoe and love them. $130 a piece for 265/75r16. I get a lot of snow where I live and they haven't let me down.

I like the Altimax on my Passat.

I have the previous Pirelli Scorpion version on a CX5 and they have been quiet and handle like a dream. I have driven the f..k out of them across country three times, twisty back roads of many states and quite a few dirt roads. I have over 100k on this set and had to warranty replace one because of a puncture near the side.

The best overall tire I have run is the Hankook MT2. I have 60,000mi on a set right now. I would buy them over and over again if I could. They handle great, ate very good offroad, wear very evenly, and don't get louder as they wear down.

Sunday I'm doing my first event on the Vitour P1, moving from the Rival S 1.5. I'll report back.

Biggest thing on them is the sizes. They make weird sizes that can net you an advantage, especially on specific cars.

I've done about 1200 Street miles and it's a clearly faster tire. Hard as hell when cold. Like, the first mile or two is pretty bouncy. But settles in quickly just on street driving. I imagine the first lap will get enough heat in.

While I'd love to do an apples to apples size wise, the very availability of a 305 in a 15" tire at 200tw is a huge consideration. Like for like they could be slower, but the next widest 15" option is a 245" by the competitors' 200tw offerings. So, I'll post my results after Sunday's event.

The shorter overall OD can also help (or hurt) depending on gearing.

Yes I just switched this weekend from the Pzero runflats to Michelin PS4S. So much better, way more comfortable over bumpy roads and better around corners too.

The Yoke Advan Apex 601 was a damn good tire for the price. I moved to supercar 3's and it was only slightly faster.

Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.

Absolutely horrible.

They're slippery on every single surface whether it be tarmac or on the side of a mountain.

They're so bad I put mine for sale and nobody wanted them.
