235/60 18 Tire Review Highlights

Falken Wildpeak AT Trail rated 80% while driving a Toyota RAV4
Driving on mostly town for 600 easy going miles
I bought these tires +10mm in width than for the standard RAV4 hybrid for a bargain (235/60R18 where stock is 225/60R18). I've always wanted AT tires for the looks and for the occasional offroading but honestly more for looks and durability. I've read and seen so many positive views so it was a no brainer.

Performance in the wet was as good as any regular tire. I hadn't pushed it much but the car didn't feel skittish or unsettled even when the tire store pumped in 42psi when I left the store.

Road noise is to be expected over a passenger style tire. Being a RAV4 hybrid, with no engine running, you'll hear a bit of the tire roar more than a passenger tire. Don't believe anyone that says it's as quiet but at the same time, it's not noisy at all and you've got to be listening for the roar to notice it. Put it this way, the family travelling in it hasn't noticed.

What I was surprised by was the roughly 6.x mm of legal tread measured in multple areas (ranged from 6.1mm to 6.5mm). I was expecting a bit more tread any even with the 680 A A UTQG, I'm not sure how long this will last but hopefully it proves me wrong.

Also I was surprised by the weight of the tire. Sure it's more but I did notice the acceleration performance dull slightly but it's an AT tire and to be expected and I went up in size. Fuel consumption has so far taken me to 5.8L/100km on the freeway. Perhaps +0.2-0.3L/100km.

Would I do it again, at the AUD$205 each, yes every time when the G015 and Open Country AT3 was A$260-280 each.

Kumho Crugen HP91 rated 55% while driving a Hyundai Santa Fe
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 average miles
Came as OEM for my Hyundai Santa Fe TM Facelift. Using this car for family road trip, with average driving style, sometime spirited driving when needed in highway/intercity road. Found it quite good in dry condition, but bad in wet condition. I don't feel confident driving in wet, considering this is relatively new tire that came with a new car. Feedback and handling is average, and it's noisy. I can imagine how loud it's going to be when approaching it's end of cycle.

Continental Eco Contact 5 SUV rated 93% while driving a Volvo XC60
Driving on mostly motorways for 120000 easy going miles
Original tires on my Volvo XC60II D3. So far they have traveled 120,000 kms, and it's time to change the front ones. I will swap the front and rear axles, and, obviously, I will fit the same model again. No problem, traveling alone, or with a full load of passengers, and roof box. Fuel economy, maximum 6 liters of diesel per 100 kms. At legal speeds, always.

Sailun Atrezzo ZSR rated 45% while driving a Land Rover Freelander 2
Driving on mostly town for 3000 average miles
Halfords fitted 2 new tires 9th July. 2,800 miles later in 9 weeks the tires have worn to 3mm all over and the wires are showing on some parts.
Both front tires, both completely worn out. Halfords refuse to consider the tires may be faulty

The front ones last 120.000 kms. Then, changed rear axle (wear 40 %) to front axle, and new couple of same tires on rear axle.

Nokian WR G4 SUV rated 69% while driving a Hyundai Santa Fe
Driving on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
Bought these tires in hopes they would wear well, after 24,000 km had to change out front two tires due to wear. Replaced struts and did all front end work to eliminate any possible wear and started doing the rotations on the tires every 8-10K. However, with this being doing all tires have evenly worn out after an additional 30,000 km. Very disappointed as the original tires seem to have lasted, however, the new tires seem to only have 30K but after a full inspection of my vehicle there are no mechanical issues that would be causing the tires to wear.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 rated 71% while driving a Honda CRV
Driving on mostly motorways for 80000 average miles
Here is a Good Review - This is a "Directional" tire. Rotation is front to back/back to front. If your car has 4 wheel alignment then this is a great tire. Sipeing on this tire is incredible (we hit a Rain trench at night (4 or more inches deep) and the tracking stayed straight even though there was no road surface contact). My car is a 2020 Honda CRV AWD (this is the third CRV AWD I've owned). This is the first time I've used a directional tire. I'm a moderate push driver - nothing at crazy level but maybe a drift on a wet surface or coasting down off the Blue Ridge to the town below (Oh Yeh). the car has 135k and 8mm rear / 6mm front pads left (Honda Service just measured). The tires replaced OEM's at around 45-50k so ..... 80k and 3/32nds today. Even now the Michelin Grip along with Sidewall give is acceptable (I wouldn't trust a defensive road evasion above 45 or 50). Now the bad - this tire tracks "Straight" to the exclusion of the steering. This means that your car may think it's going straight but the tires will make it go straight and I believe that with the newer AWD vehicles this is a detriment to alignment. I've had 3 Alignments for these tires. I've never had more than two even on my Restomod F150. I attribute this to the AWD and Honda LKA. The Older AWD Trucks with Lockouts had tire wear problems due to the Inside/Outside Turn ratios. And lastly this tire is a "Howler". On real asphalt roads its quiet but on the newer composite roadways it's 5-10db above road noise in the car and gets louder once you reach the "tattletales" on the tire. So Safety and Long life are the trade-offs to some road noise. I suspect the noise and alignment issues would diminish with a 2WD car. And if Vehicle is over 5 - 6 years old I might reconsider - think suspension bushings and bearings. Thank you by Steven J Third Grade

Kumho Izen RV KC15 rated 77% while driving a Hyundai 2011 Santa Fe CM 4x4
Driving on mostly country roads for 28000 easy going miles
Tested many times on different kinds of snow and always performed very well. The traction with AWD is surprisingly good and allows very secure pretty fast driving. Always safe on snowy descents, where the weight of the vehicle is your worst enemy, because the sideways behavior is reasonably grippy. Still have 4,5 mm after 28000 miles. One more winter and they're over.

Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2 rated 72% while driving a Hyundai Santa Fe
Driving on mostly country roads for 15000 easy going miles
Very good on dry and wet roads, safe on highway at high speed under the rain. They're good for few kms on gravel and safe on wet grass (AWD). I tested them on few kms on fresh snow and they climb reasonably with reduced incline (AWD). Not recommended on snow in descents.

Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 plus rated 27% while driving a Honda CRV
Driving on a combination of roads for 28 miles
Second set of these tires recommended by the Honda dealer. Replaced at 32,700 on the first and now 13 months and 28,000 on the second. Not even close to the 70,000 miles they claim.
