Did the switch today. Ill try to report back on range. over original 47.5K miles, i was getting 289 kw/mile on 2020 LR MY with 20 inch inductions and OG goodyears. Madison Wi weather pattern. I am pretty fanatical about maxing out range on highway (drafting behind sprinter vans, etc) so curious to see what happens. Even if range stays the same, worth it for tire cost reduction, comfort, and pothole protection. I plan on using these year round as I am not a fast or aggressive driver and just want cheaper tires and better winter performance than the horrible good years.
Pros: tire cost reduction, comfort
Mileage: 47500 km
I have these on my 4runner (265/70/17), I bought it with them on there so I'm not sure the exact mileage, but im happy with them. Work good on my red clay dirt road when it's rained.
Pros: Work good on dirt
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 20000 km
i trash mine, and i’ve never had one go flat. last time i had my truck serviced they pulled 9 nails out of my Falkens & they were all still holding pressure (i work in construction). obviously i replaced them all but the fact they were holding air still made me just buy another set.
Pros: holding air still
Cons: pulled 9 nails
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 120700 km
Kleber Quadraxer 3, just bought them and they're fantastic. I just changed Vredestein Quatracs after more than 60k driven and Klebers are even better, and definitely more comfortable and quiet. Due to climate changes and dynamic weather changes, in short period of time I tested them on rain, snow, below zero temperatures, even +9° degrees. They're good both in the city and on the motorway.
Pros: comfortable and quiet
Cons: made in Romania
Mileage: 60000 km
I went with the Hankook (I know you said you didn't want them but wanted to share my experience) and have been very happy with them. Live in Sweden and we have this winter received unusually much of both black ice and deep snow. The Hankook's have worked surprisingly well during this winter as well as the dryer and warmer period before the winter arrived (got them after summer).
Pros: worked surprisingly well
So 5 thousand miles ago (at 50K miles) I finally replaced those Bridgestones with the Hankooks because they were the only ones that I could find that seemed to check all the boxes; that said, it was a huge gamble as I'd never tried Hankooks before on any vehicle and knew virtually nothing about them.
And wow did it pay off. I think I measured that interior sound levels have dropped about 5 dB at 70 mph (from 70 dB to 65 dB); ride comfort is extraordinarily improved to the point that it feels like a newer build Model Y with their improved suspension (I know because I've rented them via Hertz a few times); and crucially -- and this is coming from somewhat of a tire geek here -- I have never, ever experienced such astonishing hydroplaning resistance before. During our recent California storm (Feb 2024) I had the chance to drive through absolutely bucketing, torrential conditions on the freeway, and standing water that would have previously turned our car into a boat were carved through like an icebreaker ship through, er, ice. Or a hot knife through butter. Whatever.
And yes, best of all, our (still inexplicably dismal) range has jumped a whopping 34% or so on average, from about 145 mi to about 195 mi
Pros: improved ride comfort, hydroplaning resistance
Cons: range still dismal
Mileage: 8000 km
Of all the big name brands I've had, by far the most comfortable were Continentals (sport or premium contact) nothing came close for pure comfort. I don't get them often because they wear very fast but pure comfort and grip they are outstanding. Thier sport contact line is amazingly comfortable considering they are a performance tyre
Pros: pure comfort and grip
Cons: wear very fast
I've owned both. The only advantage to the Pirelli is that they are a little more comfortable. The Michelins are better in every other way.
Pros: more comfortable
Cons: Michelins are better
Th Michelins that came on my wife's '12 Escape hadvcracked sidewalls. There was an issue with some Michelins back then. Her tire model was in the recall, but not her size.
Cons: cracked sidewalls, recall issue
Vehicle:
Ford Escape
