Tires OEM Chevrolet or VITOUR

Drove a Chevy Cavalier my entire apprenticeship. Good on gas, easy to park, sure footed with Snow Tires.

Want a real out there suggestion. The 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. Kind of a rare car. But my dad had one and it was an absolute blast. 200 hp and 266 ft/lb torque that was *instantly* available made the car way faster than you would have ever guessed. Once you ditched the terrible economy tires on it, it handled incredibly well because all the weight was way down low. It was also really well balanced because, while front wheel drive, most of the weight was in the middle - so it didn't really act like a typical front wheel drive car.

I'm on vitour p1's right now. Its a very fast tire that doesn't melt like the a052, but its still a super 200 tread life wise.

when I bought my car in 2020 with \~27,000 miles on it, I replaced the cabin air filter, wiper blades, and all 4 tires immediately upon purchase because they all needed it.

I switched from cup2's to vitour's on my 981 gt4 and have no complaints. They last longer and I think they more consistent than the cup2's.

I have these guys on my V8 SUV. Didn't give them much thought, was a good deal, and ride quality is much improved. Mine balanced fine and look pretty new after a year and almost 10,000km. I don't drag or track race, I'll floor it occasionally for a thrill and I drive probably 160km/h max on highways.

This is neat, but ultimately, its kind of a functional sculpture. Like all of the ultra-hyper cars, it's so high strung that it needs a team to just pull out of the garage without causing an accident, and the manufactures full and constant support is needed to keep it running. It has fully custom tires that are only single source, and they're only going to build a handful of them so they can say its production.

I came across the Vitour Galaxy R1s — they’re V-rated, which is cool, but I’m not sure if they’re DOT approved. From what I can tell, they’re made by a South African brand (possibly China-owned) and seem to be geared toward drift/race use.

Just wondering if anyone’s actually run these? How’s the grip and overall quality? I’m aiming for a tire that can handle daily driving and still be fun in the corners without dropping $500+ on Avons CR6ZZ

Vitours are terrible cold and don't work well if your car doesn't generate enough heat.

Do not recommend unless you can get a lot of heat into them. even on warm days they would need some time to get grip. If you're in Alaska I could see them not working well for like 8 months out of the year, and they're really expensive too.
