Good tyres
Tyres are good on bitumen and in the wet but have little off road ability in mud. While in Tasmania recently I drove on a very muddy road by keeping the car moving and not doing anything sudden, in 4wd mode. I have noted a few reviewers got low mileage, this concerned me and nearly made me get something else. I therefore thought I should wait till I had the miles (or KMs) before expressing an opinion. I have gotten over 80,000km and due to a puncture from a bolt I'm getting a couple of new tyres otherwise I would have gotten 90,000 out of them. Very happy. Suggest those with low miles putting a SUV tyre on a heavy vehicle or doing a lot of gravel roads which can be hard on tyres.

Good Tyre with reasonable price
The Tyre has been travel around 30000km since I change them and the Tyre track still pretty good. Expect to travel another 60000km before changing the Tyre again. By the way, the Tyre is quiet when you travel on the free way so it is a plus to the family with the baby.

Perfect, forgot I had these!
Very boring subject however purchased these tyres three years ago and are still in great condition. Lots of tread left, has driven 50,000 km and has not required replacing. Wheel balance every 12 months will assist largely with getting more life from the tyres. Would not hesitate in purchasing next time I need to replace.

Terrible in the wet
They are terrible in the wet. In the dry they perform well, but in the wet they don't it like driver on bald tyres.

Best Tyre I have used on my Lexus RX330 225/65/17
I have used Michelin, Pirelli and These Dunlop Grandtrek PT2 and they are by far the best tyre I have fitted to my Lexus SUV. This is the 2nd Set I am currently on.
Its a very quiet tread pattern, nice tread compound, yes its soft but (the softer tread compounds provide a quieter ride and far better grip on wet roads). I would rather have a quiet ride and less cabin noise and better grip on the road than have my tyre last over 60,000km.
The last set I got about 45,000km before they needed replacing.
Best of all these tyres in my size are M...Read more

Excellent all round tyre
I have a 2011 Subaru Forester and put 4 of these on at the 50k mark. I have now done over 110k and just coming up to the need to replace the front tyres with about 10k left on the rears. Over 60k on these tyres is a very good outcome given that the car is driven quite hard. I have been extremely happy with the handling of these, especially in the wet, and they are very quiet on highway (which was an issue with the original equipment ones that came with the new car). Will probably be replacing the tyres with the same type as long as I can get a good deal.

Good value for the price paid
Much better grip than Cooper CS-5 tires I had before. Especially when wet the difference is incredible, I would say it gives 50% more grip! We did some 5000 km of gravel roads with sharp rocks and no puncture so far. Good tire for the price paid : $139 per piece.

Good Tyre but Poor Wearing
Fitted these to my Pajero, 275/60/R18 and got them for a good price from my local JaxQuickfit tyre store. So far they have driven really well with almost no road noise, which is what you'd expect from a 10/90 tyre. With no off-road use they have worn quite evenly, but I do rotate them regularly and maintain the pressure at 42psi. The only issue I have with them is that they have been on the Pajero for only 23,000km and they are almost worn to the wear indiccators. I'd be surprised if I get 30,000km out of them, which in my opinion is not enough. The only thing that lessens the blow for me is that I only paid $195 per tyre, which for this size is very reasonable.
Quite, good in the wet, price
Poor wearing

Tribute/Escape Best tyre for non off road SUV's.10/90 tyre but quiet,soft and preciseForget ATR!
As most Mazda Tribute/Ford Escape owners know these cars have tyre roar and are a stiff ride.
All the tyre shops were urging me to buy hard walled all terrains or highway terrains but all side walls were stiff!!
Tyres made in Japan!!
In 4rby circles these aren't even mentioned as they aren't hard core.
We do highway driving going on holidays towing a small caravan.Might do a dirt road or beach sand but hate 4wdriving.
Not worth buying a tyre for maybe 100km travel off road on the life of a tyre.
After much research and some cancelled orders of other brands I bought a set from Beaurepaires South Morang.They were fantastic in their service. ...Read more
Paid $820 fitted with wheel alignment, on special. Running them on about 33psi will drop to 30 psi as per car manufacturers recommendation. Instantly the ride is super soft compared to the Bridgestone D687.Noise?What noise. I have just realized my car has a loud engine and considerable driveline noise. If you have an suv do yourself a favour-if you only do highway with the occasional dirt country road or sand buy these tyres!! Escape/tribute owners look no more this will transform your car. Car handles great. Haven't tried wet weather yet or dirt roads going away on weekend and will update. UPDATE Drove in the wet.Floored car around a few corners tyres were magic.No front wheel spin at all.Grip is great in wet and dry. Car has gone from slight understeer to slight oversteer due to high grip level.Even my wife noticed!!! Drove to Echuca from Melbourne and yep, tyres great ride and quiet especially in the back seat, minimal rear tyre well roar. Visited Barmah state forest.Dirt roads no problem.Just ensure no stones get stuck permanently in tread as pattern is not very open. Tyre has 2 steel and 1 polyester belts in tread so quite good in puncture resistance.Sidewal has 1 polyester belt thus the soft ride.Tyre sits quite upright so sidewall is well protected but remember these are not dedicated off road tyres.Tyre wear rating I think is 360. I am very happy so far with this tyre as it has performed and matched my expectations-soft ride,good handling,quiet,very safe. I hope to get at least 45000k then I will be really impressed!!! Soft pleasant ride.Very quiet and great handling. Pricey.Retail prices start at $230.I got these on the current Christmas special sales!4 comments
UPDATE
Have done about 5000km now.Most towing 1000kg caravan at high speed,ie drove Mel-Syd and back doing 110-120km/h. ... Read more
Grip is great and so is ride. Tried different pressures and found a slightly higher than recommended 30 psi is best.Tyre has soft sidewalls so fuel economy may deteriorate slightly on lower pressures. Ride firms up on 35 psi but still ok. Wear seems ok considering car is front wheel drive and the abuse the tyres have been subjected to!!! Noise is still low. I bought a few cans of bitumen soundproofing spray from Supercheap and sprayed the wheel wells so car is slightly even more quiet. Engine and air noise are now primarily dominant, a reversal to the previous situation regarding the Bridgestones. Still happy with tyres as car is transformed, now much more comfortable to drive. Wear seems even so far but will keep updating. Wet performance is great.Nearly 30k and tyres are nearly worn.Towing with a heavily loaded front wheel drive SUV has really shortened their life.Loved the gripiness,safety and ride.I wont buy them again as I cant afford tyres... Read more
every 18 months.Dont lower the pressure too low even 3 psi below 30psi and they started to feather the edges.Normal driving and probably they would suit 90 per cent of people.Replaced the fronts with toyo open country h/t.Very poor wear only lasting 25000k.Backs ok for another 5000k very disappointing .

OK Tyre
On a 1999 Subaru Forester these tyres have only lasted 35000km, whereas I normally get at least 45000. They have not worn evenly, which leads me to question the QA process and consistency of manufacturing. They also developed slight bulges in the sidewall, however these were of no consequence. They are a quiet tyre, which has done some off road work, and performed well.
Price, quiet running.
Poor wear characteristics.
