Last year bought 4x tires for 4WD.
Start OK in year 2018, but 2000 km later started to feel vibration - result > tire jumping along the grooves in wheel balancer.
To warranty = new tires. Put them on and 2000km was ok. Drived 12 000 km (year total). Tire worn maybe 1 to 1,5mm. So this far -very good result, despite the warranty case. And with this - good grip in dry and wet (even speeds 180 km/h +), and very good grip, tires lasted well, low noise level.
Then winter and this year 2019 put them on. Almost first kilometers - vibration again. Went to first tire shop to balance rims - everything ok. Started to look at car axle drive - yeah, few parts needed to be changed, but after the change still vibration and started massive tire wear. I don't know, 1000 km = 1 mm wear? That was crazy. Went to dealer to 3D wheel alignment. They regulated front wheels a bit but everything was almost ok. And still - massive tire wear and tires started to loose grip. Milled asphalt - I couldn't hold the steering wheel > car was all over the road. Ant the noise - omg. Like driving with mud tire. Tire looked fine but this year I could drive 8000 km and result was (tire had 8 mm when new, 6,5-7 mm when I put them to storage after 12000 km) and this when I threw them away 1,3 mm was left. So worst case = 6,5 mm to 1,3 mm in 8000 km = that is crazy. At this level, there was no point to send them to warranty - pointless waste of my time.
And rear tires - inner sides worn to staircase damage. When you look at side - tread is like staircase (stairs).
Yes - when new - good grip, good feedback, good handling (8 out of 10). But crazy worn level. Tread worn to stairs. Lasted 20 000 km total and were worn to 1,3mm. And within these 20 000 km, maybe I got 5000 km without any vibration etc.
So the result - I WILL NEVER BUY THESE TYRES AGAIN. Maybe tire width (195 to 225 maybe lasts), but 245 tire width this brand is garbage.
Replaced them to another company brand. Went to car dealer 3D wheel alignment - everything was superb, no adjustments needed at all. And ride is smooth, without any vibration, no tire worn at all and i have done already 3500 km with new ones.
So again, Goodride SA37 - worst tire ever. Keep away from it.
20000km=12427miles.
