I’m driving a 2016 Subaru Forester 2 litre turbo and from South East Asia with plenty of rainfall all year round.
Previously on the same car I have used CSC5 (2 sets of around 16k and 22k mileage), Toyo Open Country UT (Used 4,000km and changed.. crap grip Tires), AD08R (track use and driven on normal roads for around 2000km.
Currently I’ve used this current set of Latitude Sports3 Tires for past 33,000km and the treadwear looks like it can last till 50,000km easily.
The tire pressure pumped from day 1 is around 260kpa front and 250kpa rear. Guess that’s why my set of LS3 could last longer than most people who reviewed here. As LS3 Tires are Porsche Cayenne OE Tires, I read that the tire pressure is up to 290kpa for the 19-20â€.
However now I have reduced to 250F/240R since Tires are relatives used for quite some mileage and I want them for more comfort.
The tires are not noisy at around 70DB from day 1 and it’s still quiet until it’s more than 22,000km and even at 33k, the tire noise is still bearable. The CSC5 gets noisy after 8000km, while the AD08R have unbearable road noise.
The dry grip is very good and have never skidded in all manners of driving, very similar to CSC5 dry grip but loses out to AD08R dry grip.
As for wet, it is also very good, and also never skidded before or lose grip when when driving. Just did an E brake at 100kmh 2 nights ago when it’s raining and the car managed to stop with a little light screech, very good wet grip. However CSC5 gave me more confidence driving fast in really wet weather, I’m really not sure why is that so.
Comparing with CSC5, the LS3 offer much better Road feedback while Handling is pretty similar.
LS3 it is a very very good overall performance Tires. Highly recommended.
