I put these on and since then i changed both wheel bearings and rebalanced all 4 tires (including roadforce balancing) multiple times, even had techs check for bent rims, all because these tires are so damn loud and giving floor vibrations at 70km+. I am biting the bullet and changing them out after only around 1600km because they're so bad, and i cant live with it any longer .

What drivers say about their 285/40 R22 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Had these fitted to my Audi Q8 as I didn’t want to pay the £350 each for replacement Continental which came as OE. Bought them from my local tireshop in Malvern after they recommended them. I don’t drive the car hard and with it being 4 wheel drive, I assume the car is doing a lot of the work in terms of grip, but I haven’t noticed any difference from the original tires which is a big compliment given the price difference. The weathers been cold and damp and haven’t felt any slip at all so I imagine when the weather warms up I’ll continue to be impressed. Only done 2000 miles so far, but they don’t look to have lost any tread yet. Very impressed
Really good value for money! They are on a 2012 range rover and tire wear over the last 6000 miles has been nominal, I cannot really comment on handling as a 2 ton RR is never going to be a lively performer. On roas nice and quiet with no tracking over banding and bad surface. Off road they have only been on grass and gravel with no complaints.
At 50% of the price of premium brands the choice is a no brainer.

I put these on my 2008 Range Rover Sport as the Pirelli Scorpions didn't seem to last too long, and I was amazed by these tires. More comfortable ride, very quiet, fuel economy increased by 2mpg, and, get this, on a big heavy vehicle, these tires lasted 50,000 miles!!! Will defo buy again for any vehicle
