285/55 18 Tyre Review Highlights

Wanli S1088 rated 33% while driving a Nissan 370Z
Driving on mostly town for 0 spirited miles
Came from a pair of falken tyres and was comfortable taking corners at 60 and 80 on the mountain pass I normally go to. After receiving this pair of tyres from ozzy tyres I knew budget tyres were gonna be horrible. After a break in period I was going to take it to the same pass I normally take it and after leaving my house I lost traction 3 times before even getting there. Simple corners and moderate speeds will put you sideways. I have a steep driveway and in the rain it was a struggle to get out. People with non performance cars are probably fine to use these tyres as a budget purpose, but if you have any car over 200hp I would not recommend. Even if you decide to buy it be prepared to deal with the most annoying tyre sound I have ever experienced as it is a constant high pitch whir, enough to the point it made me go out and upgrade my exhaust just to drown it out.

Kumho Crugen HP91 rated 97% while driving a Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2Ltr Diesel LWB
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Perfect tyre for the Shogun. Quiet, responsive, grippy and good on mpg. Replaced some no name branded tyres and the difference was immense. T/C light didn't come on at any point in wet or dry. The noise was deafening but after I fitted these, the burble from the engine was all that could be heard. Wear rate higher than I thought but worth the soft compound for the noise reduction. Handled all road surfaces, wet grass, mud and slush brilliantly, better than I thought as they really do look more like passenger car tyres than full off roaders. Would definitely buy again, impressed with Kumho.

Hankook Ventus ST rated 64% while driving a Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2Ltr Diesel LWB
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
All four corners had Ventus ST on them when I bought the car and all tyres had approximately 4mm on them. Found them to be noisy on the motorway and A-Roads. Ok around town and superb off road. Dry grip was good but I felt they were skating a touch on very wet roads which made for poor feedback. Definitely a great 4x4 tyre but not so great when using them on tarmac.

Hankook Ventus ST rated 94% while driving a Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2Ltr Diesel LWB
Driving on mostly country roads for 90000 average miles
car originally fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Zeros and I have had several replacments sets. These are a good tyre, but the Hankook Ventus ST are far superior in all aspects. I would definatly continue to use these. Supply is not easy..........
