255/55 R18 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Dunlop SP WinterSport 4D
rated 100%
I have driven these in Ontario winters for the past 5 years very capable tire. The road noise, the tires growls a bit, but to be expected from a winter tread. I have had them installed on Mercedes GLA since new and replaced them this season. My tire installer suggested I could get one more season from my old Dunlops. Personal philosophy, the least expensive thing on our cars is our tires and brakes, why gamble. Great tires did definitely purchase again.

This is a tire thats just as good as michelin x ice or bridgestone blizzak but only a fraction of the cost. Ran it for 3 winters and I am very satisfied with its performance on ice and snow.

Writing about the Maxxis Bravo AT771
rated 43%
Worst tires i've ever had on my vw transporter 4x4. Very harsh ride no matter what i tried with tire pressures. Extremely noisy tires that gets worse as the tires wear. Although the tire wear is very good. That's the only positive thing i can say about them. I took them off before they were worn out and it was like a different van. Don't buy these tires you WILL be disappointed.

Writing about the Pirelli Scorpion Verde
rated 41%
Worst tires you could buy if you drive your car in monsoon season or where there are a lot of standing water, dangerous is the least of what you'd expect, even Asian branded cheap tires has better aquaplanning resistance than this Pireli Verde. Lasted barely 20000 miles before tires started chunking and dangerous even for dry surfaces.

Writing about the Continental Extremecontact DWS 06
rated 78%
I purchased these tires to replace a set of Michelin Latitudes and noticed the difference in grip immediately. With mostly interstate miles under my belt, a mix of backroads, and even the occasional dirt road, these tires exceeded my expectations. The grip in all environments made them an excellent choice for all seasons.
I’ll be honest—I’ve put these tires through their paces. Over 37,000 miles, they held up remarkably well with even wear patterns. I’ve driven them across the country multiple times, including during a blizzard in Flagstaff, and never once did I feel concerned about losing traction.
However, these tires are straightforward when it comes to wear. Once the wear markers are gone, it’s time to replace them. I recently drove through a snowstorm and, sadly, their performance disappointed me—but to be fair, the DWS indicators were completely worn.
After careful consideration, I’ve retired my old set and replaced them with the same model. That alone speaks volumes about how much I trust these tires. I highly recommend them.

Writing about the Premiorri ViaMaggiore
rated 0%
These tires were QUIET on the road for the first couple months but developed a really annoying "whine" or "buzz" that increases with speed - most noticeable between 30 and 60 mph - the noise is quite loud up thru 80 but decreases somewhat above that. It was hard to pinpoint its source from inside the car. Raised on a lift and going an indicated 60 mph, and listening underneath it with a stethoscope there is no noise at the hub bearings, transfer assembly, jackshaft bearing, or rear differential unit. I figured it must be a wheel bearing that only shows up with the car's weight on it. So far I've replaced all 4 hub bearing units - with no effect on the noise.
But today I proved it is coming from the Premiorri ViaMaggiore TIRES !! I switch tires and wheels with my other Acura and there is NO NOISE !!
The tire noise is louder than I've ever had - except for some "truck knobbies" I had 50 years ago.

Writing about the General Grabber AT3
rated 85%
Awesome tires. Initially for the first 100 miles, they felt very jelly like, however this settled and 30k miles later I am considering another set. They often get used green laning from soft mud around fields to rocky hill climbs in the lake district. The only time getting stuck in deep soft mud where I had to air down. Which is something they're very good for. I have aired down to around 12psi and it had no issues.
When on road, I run them around 34psi for the country roads and frequently enjoy a little spirited drive to astounding results. Chances are, the regular driver would bottle it before the tires give way on tarmac.
With relatively good feedback I feel confident knowing what the car is doing under me.
For longer journeys, I've aired up to around 45psi and have been excellent for motorway blasts. Having a higher speed rating than most A/T tires is a huge bonus.
Due to a poor show of snow the past two years, they haven't had a long chance in deep snow, but they performed very well in what I could find. Testing on a particularly icy single lane steep hill (which proved too much for many others based on holes through the hedges) where it confidently controlled the 2 tonnes down the slope happily.
I've now done around 30k miles and after rotating wheels fairly consistently, they will be coming to the end of the useful life. For me, that's very good going. MLs are renowned for chewing side walls, and this has immediately solved this issue with even wear throughout.
Road noise for me and guests have all commented on how quite they are still and not noticeable the car is running on ATs.
Overall, I would recommend these and will be replacing with the same again.

Writing about the Vredestein Quatrac Pro
rated 91%
Bought a discovery 2 and immediately fitted vredistien quatrac Pro as we had just moved to a rural area in the Highlands of Scotland as winter was approaching.
I found the ride and drive in wet and dry conditions to be responsive and tire feed back positive . Noise levels where negligible .
These tires came into their own when it realy started to snow and temps went down to double digits ..driven through blizzards ,packed snow, ice and deep fresh snow always with an eye on safe stopping .
I only ever overly tested cornering and stopping on ice and snow on the day to see what conditions where like and traction control and abs would only come on when pushing it..have done over twenty k in winter conditions and can only praise these tires . Great peace of mind . I guess driving 18 inch rims and 155 55 r18 on a 2 tonne 4× 4 may make a difference but highly recommend for any large 4×4 owners. I started to see the treads crumbling slightly at 30k but put that down to the local sharp granite chippings ..Will probably have to change at around 40 k for peace of mind for next winter

I bought the tires for my 2016 Nissan Pathfinder.
This past winter was mild(Chicago)in snow totals but rainy and cold. The tires performed spectacularly and looked great after tire dressing applied (Guigiaro design on sidewall)!

Writing about the Accelera Iota ST68
rated 81%
Good road holding in the dry, much better than the scary pirelli scorpion in the wet condition, doesn’t aqua planned as much as the pirelli scorpion that came with the car. Have only driven for 10,000km so let’s see how long it would last, i’d be happy if it last 40,000km but the compound seems way softer compare to the scary pirelli scorpion.
