Owner reviews for tires

In my experience I have had way less flat tires switching from specialized to maxxis tires. Fast trak and ground controls were super unreliable for me. I’ve used maxxis rekon, ardent, ikon, and aspens. Will never go back to spec tires.

Michelin Defender, great sound and 80000 mile tread life warranty. But the Toyos are nothing but hot garbage. I was too cheap to replace them and they gave up the ghost around 35000 miles. I have 25000 miles on the Defenders and still sound the same as new.

I can, however, recommend some tires that I trust wholeheartedly, and I don't take it easy on my tires. (Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22) Fantastic grip in rain, dry, hot, or cold.

If I could find these tires again id buy them, i have them on a 09 impala and used them for more than two years and had better than normal wear, my summer tires last half these winter tires.

I am overly happy with the Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 we got for our Forester.

Its a completely different car, especially when we upsized to 225/60-18.

For stock suspension and even lowered 15mm on coilovers, I have really enjoyed my DWS06+ 235/45/18’s. They ride great, handle better than any all season tire I’ve ever run, and have smashed some serious potholes on the rare occasion that I can’t avoid them.

Michelin is a good brand too. Went with those my last tire change and they’re still going strong ????

Ive found tires on amazon for pretty cheap, even compared to tirerack, etc. And decent brands like pirelli and kumoto

I was a loyal GP4000/5000 rider but had to switch a few years back. I think they changed something and it not only became harder to mount them, but it was impossible to break the bead and remove them. I switched to Vittorias but really miss the feel of the GPs. I feel much more confident descending on them.

I think they are both great tires. I will say my personal experience with KO2’s was less than stellar but I have buddies who love them. Mine were annoyingly noisy when turning, I ended up replacing them with wildpeaks and have been really happy with them.
