What drivers say about their 215/70 R17 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Awesome tire. Great grip in wet and dry. Performance in wet did wear off a little after about 3 years despite plenty of meat left on the tire. Don't know what people are talking about this tire wearing out quickly. I've done nearly 90,000 k, and am likely to get another 10,000. I bought it because i thought it was a soft compound tire, but i must have been mistaken. Thinking of replacing with another set of same, but am also tempted to check another tire out just for the hell of it. Overall 9/10.
