![]() Again, they have lasted barely 30,000 km and have had multiple punctures, with one of them actually splitting in the middle a couple of days ago. The tyres barely lasted 30,000 km in the meantime I had bought another set of wheels with the same tyres from somebody who had replaced them with 18-inch wheels as soon as he bought the car. The car originally came with 50 profile tyres on 18 inch rims, which are useless on the poor roads where I live in northern NSW, but the dealer agreed to swap the wheels with a lower spec model so I could have the 60 profile tyres (which is still too low for Australian country roads). These 215/60R17 tyres were fitted to my 2017 Toyota C-HR Koba AWD. ![]() Mostly urban driving but quite a few kms touring, gravel roads and beach driving. I drive a 2018 Subaru Forester with 15000 kms on the dial. I can’t fault them but I can’t really compare them with anything because they’re the only tyres I’ve had on the vehicle. If you drive like a dick then it doesn’t matter what brand of tyre you use, you’re going to get into more trouble than if you take it easy.Īll up, there’s nothing wrong with these tyres. Handling? Surely the vehicle’s geometry has more of a say there. Performance in the dry is better than in the wet, no surprise there. They’re certainly more quiet than a proper off road tyre but I’ve usually got my phat beats pumping. How would they know? As far as I can tell, tyres from premium brands of the same size and using similar components all handle about the same. It always makes me laugh when people say one brand ihandles better, is louder, stops better in the wet etc.
