r/TyreReviews

2020 f150 with 2 in level. Currently have 275/65/18. Looking to go to 275/70/18 or 285/65/18.
Opinions?

Has anyone on the sub that has had the Sportcontact 7 noticed pretty poor wear since they were fitted?

For context, I have a 2020 BMW 118i FWD (so nothing powerful) and had four new tyres fit in June 2025. The rear two are sitting at around 7mm however having just checked the fronts they’re sitting at 2mm.

I’m quite surprised that they are this low considering I have done less than 12000 miles since they were fitted.

Maybe I’m being ignorant but is it common for this tyre to have poor wear; and my follow up question (for the smart tyre people) would be wether it’s wise to get a new pair of SC7 on the front given that the rears have some life left or whether it would be wise to get a pair of slightly better wearing tyres on the front given these were eaten up quite quickly?

As added context I live in the country and surround by national speed limit country roads that are in very poor quality so wondering if that has had a factor.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys,

I've been pretty happy with my set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 here in Germany.
They overall worked remarkably well on the Tesla with Rear-Wheel-Drive.

The range benefits from the low rolling resistance, and the only thing I didn't like was the increasing noise as they got older.

They're close to 60.000 km (37.500 miles), and there is still 3-4 mm of tread left.
But with Winter on the horizon, I am looking for a replacement by October/November.

As I want to stay below the magic 1000 € for a new set, Michelin will be out, I guess.
And only the CrossClimate 3 Sport is available in 255/45 R19 104 Y here.

I'm now looking for similar or even better performance tires; my candidates are:

Hankook-ION Flexclimate SUV IL01A
(Should be quieter with sound absorber, but really as good as the premium brands, no reviews?)

Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Goodyear Vector All Season 4

I'll be happy to hear your opinion.

I bought a 275/70/18LT Nokian Outpost NAT for my 18x9 wheels. Just realized the max width for this specific size is 8.5".

Which is weird cuz other 265 and 275 sizes are between 7" and 9.5". I'm sure there's an engineering level answer to it. But would I be okay?

Hey people,

I am getting Kleber Quadraxer 3 255 40 R20 XL with Rim protection

I am curious if anyone has experience or knows if the Kleber Quadraxer 3 will serve me well and be safe in winter and summer

i have an audi s3 8v manual and drive spiritedly a lot of the time but can’t decide between a full winter like pilot sport alpine 5 or the likes of the cross climate 3 sport as we don’t get a lot of snow it’s mostly cold wet slimy roads

curently running falken rs820 and might put another set on for winter but am unsure if i would be better off with a softer winter tyre for front end grip

hope this reads okay just really stuck between going a full winter or a all season
what’s best for 1-5’c wet roads for fast/ spirited driving

Is anyone running the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus — 255/35ZR19 96Y XL with stock FL5 wheels?

I recently bought a 2 wheel drive 1992. The tires that are currently on it are 205/70 r14 Cooper Cobra G/T. From what I’ve gathered, I should actually be running 195 or 205 that are 75 r14. I plan on investing in 15in wheels down the road to increase the options available.

For now, I just need some decent tires that will buy me time to find 15in wheels and tires. I am currently looking at TOYO EXTENSA A/S II that are 205 75 r14 with a 95t load index. Will these work for me? This is my daily driver and sometimes I will be using a trailer for some light duty hauling.

Hello,
I’m due for a tyre change for my c43 and been getting overwhelmed with the options. I live in a hot, dry climate country so wet handling is not an important factor for me.

I’ve narrowed it down to 3 options with the prices:

1. Hankook Ventus EVO k137 2026
   870$

2. Bridgestone potenza sport 98Y Poland 2025
   870$

3. Michelin pilot sport 4s M01 2026
   1665$

The car came stock with Michelin, but I’m having a hard time justifying the double cost difference between the other competitors.

Anyone can guide me?

Thank you

I just got myself my daily driver Mk7 Golf 2.0 TDI with 4 (potential) ditchfinders (Laufenn). The tyre treads are at 3-4mm on all 4 tyres - I used a gauge.

I'm starting new work next week and would drive up to London from East Sussex couple of times a week. 100mile round trip.

Should I:

1. Invest in a good all season tyre right away

2. Wait for 5-6 weeks until this summer runs out

3. Change it before MOT in December?

I'm also would like to understand whether all season tyres are widely used in the UK. If so, what does the community recommend?

I’ve narrowed my search (rather quickly) to the Michelin PS4 A/S or the Conti DWS06+. However, when I go to tire rack or discount tire websites… they don’t show the DWS06+ as an option for my tire sizes? When I google it, it shows they have the sizes I need and that they are suitable.

What gives? Are they available and suitable for the car?

Looking for some recommendations for 265/65R18 all-terrain tires for my 2026 Chevy Silverado.

I’m not really interested in dropping a ton of money just to have one of the big-name brands like BFG, Toyo, Falken, etc. if there are cheaper options out there that perform almost as well.

Basically looking for the best bang for your buck, something with a good aggressive A/T look, decent tread life, good wet/rain performance, and capable in snow, gravel, dirt roads, light mud, etc. The truck will still spend most of its time on pavement, so I don’t want something ridiculously loud or terrible on the highway either.

I’m completely open to lesser-known brands as long as they’re actually good tires and not just cheap junk.

What are you guys running in 265/65R18 that you’ve been impressed with? Any underrated brands/models that are significantly cheaper than the big names but still hold up well?

Would also appreciate hearing what you paid for a set and roughly how many miles you’ve gotten out of them.
