When I saw the reviews about this tire I was quite shocked at how low their rating was, this is more than just an average tire guys.
I’ve been running Enduro 916 Runways for about 6 years now on the back of my 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo with 17†rims, my tire size is 205/40 and they have worn incredibly well I’m now at the end of my second set of these and both sets covered just under 30 K miles each set which is quite an achievement for a rear wheel sports car but then again I don’t drive like a loon, they have done me proud over the last 6 years and I’ve driven my little sports car in some of the hardest conditions known to man, they have performed absolutely brilliantly in all hardcore weather.
I went for this tire because it carries the M+S label and I wanted all weather tires because summer tires on a rwd car is dodgy at the best of times even in the summer months and don’t even go there when it comes to using summer tires in the winter, lol lets put it this way when I first had my MR2 it came with summer tires on and it taut me how to drive with skill in the winter haha it was like driving on a flipping ice rink, anyway getting back to what I was saying.. yea I wanted an all weather tire that I wouldn’t have to un-mount in the summer and the enduro seemed the perfect choice for my low budget, the only snag I would say might cause issues to others is they can be quite loud in the summer months but when you look at the tread pattern it’s hardly surprising, I lived with it because I’m partially deaf lol but more importantly I know they were gripping the road well for which they did in all conditions.
One thing I would like to highlight about these are their ability in snow, I do a 60 miles trip to work and back every day and my rout is packed full of killer hills that would make Everest look like a speed bump! and in the winter this rout gets very dangerous and leaden with snow, ice and god knows what have you and I judge a tire on how well it can perform on this route, I never once got stuck in 6 years, the car stormed through serious snow, it’s quite funny when there’s me in a little rear wheel sports car going up serious hills and you have 4x4s stuck at the bottom haha I’ve had some looks as to say “Huuuh†and yet my car sits quite low to the ground which is another plus for these tires, so yea from my experience of these tires I honestly cant say a bad word about them, I’m now changing back to my original Toyota 15†wheels as 17†are to hard a ride for me now, but smaller enduros are harder to find and as I mount my own tires I can’t seem to buy them online as well as the 17†ones so I’m fitting on 205/55 Toyo S953 all weather tires so I wait and see how they perform against the Enduro'S
