What drivers say about their 225/50 R19 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I bought brand new and it didn't last 6months. The 4 of them started bending one by one. I had to change for another brand. I don't recommend it for anyone.
Not driven at all hard 15,000 and almost done, last set of tires i drove on did 55,000 mls, very poor wear rate
Simply fantasitc tire. I drive an X6m and I'm not slow. I've done 32,000 on a set of four of these and that have lasted me just over 2 years. I'm definitely buying them again. Any tire you can get 32K from without changing is a keeper!!!
I have had the factory installed Continental Cross Contact Sport tires on my 2013 Mercedes ML 350. This is the second ML 350 I have owned. In total I have had 5 sidewall failures on the Continental tires. I have used both Micheline and Pirelli tires as replacement tires on these vehicles and never had a problem.
Granted I take my vehicle on gravel roads to a fishing club I belong to but I have been going there for over 30 years as have 40 other members and I have never had a problem with any other vehicle or tire combination. No other member has ever had a sidewall failure. Both Mercedes and Continental refuse to take this issue seriously. I can only imagine that the Continental tires are poorly constructed or they are inadequate for this vehicle.

I was pushed towards vredstein by my local dealer when searching for replacements to the stock Pirelli tires my car left the factory with. Thankfully, the supplier sent the wrong size so he did a good deal on these Goodyears which have transformed the car. Not sure about wear yet but initial feedback is very positive.
