Terrible tires.

published

These are on a 2105 Rav4, driven on nothing but asphalt, 12k to work and back daily, with a few 1400k road trips... 43000 km and they need to be replaced.

Purchased in October 2021.

No good

published

We had a set of these standard on our VW Amarok, which we purchased due to local road conditions. With regular driving on dirt roads the tyres basically disintegrated, lasting only 20,000km before the tread was worn out on 3 of the 4, and the fourth tyres was destroyed by the gravel. I would not recommend these tyres to my worst enemy, particularly if driving on anything other than perfectly new, well laid, tarmac (not chip seal).



Somme fault can probably lie with VW here, as they are not suitable tyres for a 4x4.

After our experiences with Bridgestone tyres (this is the third set we have not been happy with either treadwear or durability, including from before regular dirt road use) we will not be purchasing this brand again.

Perfect

published

First time I bought these tyres in my life. So far I did not find any issue. Runs very very smooth on road. I feel like my fuel mileage was increased as well. I strongly recommend this if you are really looking to buy. See if they fit your car... If they fit.... Don't miss

Excellent perfoming tyre.

published

Great all round tyres, I've driven on snow, gravel, freeway and farm paddock. On my first set 68000 kms About to change my second set after 79000 kms.I attribute the increased kms on my second set to using nitrigen and regular 10000kms rotation, only 1 puncture in my second set and none on my first.
They are quiet and grip well.

good tyres

published

I had this set on my car and they lasted 60000km which is pretty good for their price. only once i had a flat tire since purchase. The last 10000 every week i had to top up the air pressure as they kept loosing air. Grip is average. I did end up getting another set a month ago.

Just bought a second set

published

OEM of RAV 4 2012 when I bought it brand new.
Last up to 65K. very happy compared with Yokohama Geolander on my Subaru forester.
Probably Dueler is made of hard rubber compound, average grip on wet, not as quite as Yokohama Geolander on highway buy Geolander is last up to 45K on my forester.
Just bought a second set from Bob Jane Blakehurst. price is $149 / each. If on special $169 each, buy 4 get $100 cash back or $144 /each.

Best tyres !

published

I had Bridgestones on my new RAV4 when I bought it, they lasted 65,000 Klm never had a problem with them so it was a no brainier when it came time to replace them, I could have got cheaper tyres but Bridgestone are the best in my opinion!

Nice treadwear, really bad on wet

published

Well, my grand vitara came with those, they lasted 99.000km (really much), but they were awful on wet circumstances (even at low speed ~ 40 km/h) like an aqua planning.
I've got good fuel performance at all 8.1 km/litre on city.

Now i got hankook dynapro hp ra23, and they are amazing.

Very average mileage

published

These were standard on the RAV4 from new... has only done 61k, and now worn out a second set. Only average handling and braking.. when we bought the second set still paid a premium of $265 a tyre.. way overpriced then but they have at least done the right thing reeling it back to about $149 now. More consistent with its quality... moving onto Michelin this time with a reported higher mileage and performance..

Great long ladting tyres

published

These were the standard tyres fittef on our Rav4 and have done over 50,000kms. We only drive on sealed roads and they seems pretty quiet. They have worn evenly and we rotated them every service, keep the pressures up the will last! Will be buying same tyres again when they are due for replacement

Good medium size SUV tyre.

published

We have achieved 79'000 km's on the original OEM tyres to date. Mainly country town, and highway driving on very ordinary roads. We regularly tow a loaded box trailer. Tyres have been rotated regularly at service intervals. Best general use tyres I've ever used. A bit of increased road noise, but you can't have it all in one tyre.

tire rot

published

I changed the tires over on my daughter's subaru forester and noticed tire rot around the outside rim on all four tires. There is only 22,000 km. on the tires. I had them prorated and there is 38% wear. I won't be getting these when I change them back.

Very pleased with treadwear and reliability

published

These tyres were refitted to my 2004 Mazda Tribute, after nearly 100,000km on the OEM set in city commuting. These have gone for 60,000km and look to equal the originals. Excellent even treadwear, fairly good noise reduction, and good grip and performance around city roads. I can highly recommended them.
Amazingly long lasting treadwear (I try to look after my tyres)
Road noise increased a little as they got older. Still good though.

We have a Suzuki also and we are extremely happy with this tyre. Grippy. Wears well. Great in the wet. Good off road. Actually looking to replace the tyres and we are going to buy the same tyre as we were so happy with them.
