245/45 20 Tire Review Highlights

Yokohama Advan Sport V107 rated 81% while driving a BMW IX3
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 average miles
OEM tire supplied for IX3 EV. Performs better than anticipated in all areas - wear yet to be fully determined.

Pace ALVENTI Pace rated 74% while driving a Jaguar XJ (X351) LWB 5.0L Supercharged
Driving on mostly country roads for 1500 average miles
Have fitted these to my Jaguar XJL and the tires are fine for normal driving in both wet and dry conditions, I did initially think I'd made a mistake as the tires slid as I cornered at reasonable speeds but I checked the tire pressures and found that the tire fitter had put 55 psi in all of them, once I reduced the tire pressures to the recommended 33 psi the car felt fine.

Landsail D8 rated 56% while driving a Ford Mustang
Driving on mostly motorways for 8000 spirited miles
Thank god for this website. I have a Mach-E GT. My Cross Contact (OEM) I really did not like. So instead of going to a more premium tire. I decided to try my luck on these Delinte DS8. They are soft which is great for gripping & handling. I never had issues when I was hitting corners hard and accelerating hard. These issue came when I was trying to drive past 70MPH which I frequently do. The tires would cause a really harsh vibration as if the tires were not balanced. I kept bringing back the car to get the tires rebalanced because I thought they had messed something up. I read in another review someone having the same problem. The tread is seems to be holding up but i realized its already down 3/32 from putting them on not more than 8000 miles ago. These tires might work if you don't have a heavy car that produces a ton of power or you plan to use them for drifting. For my car which ways over 5000+ pounds and has instant torque it just didn't seem to do so well. I don't want to bash the tires entirely. I just think I chose poorly for the application of my car. I would put these on my regular mustang that only weighs 3700 just not for an electric vehicle.

Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season rated 77% while driving a Volvo XC40
Driving on mostly country roads for 11000 average miles
'try and be' why not try *to* be?
These tires (in a no-noise version) are oe fitment on our Volvo XC40. My baseline is the Michelin PS AS 4 on a Volvo C30.
Overall, they are a welcome suprise wrto ride, handling and noise on both wet and dry roads. Wear after 11k miles implies 30k is possible. But, replacement cost is unacceptably high, so, if we have the car that long the replacements would be Michelin PS AS 4, or perhaps the equivalent Conti.

Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 rated 84% while driving a Dodge Charger RT
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I have these on My 2011 Charger RT Max. The value per mile makes these a no brainer for me. Will buy them again when these wear out.

Pirelli Scorpion Winter rated 84% while driving a Porsche Unknown
Driving on mostly motorways for 4400 average miles
Fitted these by the end of February 2023, and then again in November 2023. Car has staggered set-up with 285/40 R20 rears, 245/45 R20 fronts.

Although a fairly old design which has now been replaced by Scorpion Winter 2, I must say I have really enjoyd them so far. Have about 7000 km on them now, in various conditions. So far they have not let me down, and I would say that dry handling as well as wet performance have been very good. They are quiet and provides good feedback when pushed to the envelope of their grip. Performance on ice is where they struggle the most, so this is something to take into consideration if you drive in harsh conditions. Most of my driving is on wet/salted highways (legal limit 110 km/h), and this is were I need performance the most. But even going into the mountains, on snow and in cold temperatures (-15 C) they deliver as expected.

All in all, a well balanced performance winter tire suitable for heavy cars.

Noisy and harsh ride

Landsail DH2 rated 41% while driving a Dodge Unknown
Driving on mostly motorways for 40000 average miles
My main issue is not all about the tires but about the customer service. I bought a new set of the desert storms on April 1st 2023. At 70 MPH there was a slight vibration from the minute I had them put on. In less than 2 months the rear pair were completely bald with 0 tread left. I took them back to the vender and was told that the company said there was something wrong with my car and that I would have to take it to the shop before they would consider honoring any part of the 40,000 mile warranty. I took it to the shop and there were NO issues with the car so I took them back to the vender (150 miles each way) and he was told by manufacturer that I must have a problem with the front end of my car and that I had to have switched them from the front to the back which I did NOT. I was told that I would have to have them sent in for them to look at and they would get back to me in 7 to 8 weeks with their findings. I bought a new set so I could send the two in only to have them tell the vender that they were not going to honor the warranty. I told them that the new set I replaced them with was a smooth as silk at 85 MPH(no vibrating) and that I believe that part of the issue was a bad balancing job done by Quality Tire when I bought them. Not only will that vendor never get my business again (nor anyone I know but I will NEVER buy another tire from a company that has the worst customer service I have ever seen. AVOID DELINTE BRAND TIRES LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Toyo Proxes CF2 SUV rated 82% while driving a Renault Unknown
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Good and quiet tires!
Definitely an upgrade from my previous Pirelli Scorpion Zero… that is a rubbish tires!
Noise from the tires had significantly reduced, wet and dry condition is much better too.

Fullway HP 108 rated 77% while driving a Volvo XC40
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 average miles
Put these on my small crossover because of the price. For that price, they are perfectly fine. Sometimes I am "sportier" and more aggressive in my driving, which these have some lower limits. I usually get a traction light when accelerating from a stop, I think the cause is there is no tread block in the central rib, like many other tires. Otherwise, for 99% normal driving (gentle acceleration, light to firm braking, not cornering fast) these are perfect for the job. I haven't noticed a ton of road noise - they're a bit nosier than the Pirelli Scorpions probably that I originally had, but most of the year I have to use snow tires anyways, so these are quieter than those anyways.

Kumho Ecsta PS91 rated 36% while driving a Dodge Challenger
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
Used only in summer with roughly 5 thousand miles and failed to pass inspection the following spring. Tires didn't even last long enough to get rotated. I'm out on Kumho's and could have got this with the cheapest available tire. Even a summer performance tire should last a few years at low miles.
