Interstate RACEDNRT 245-45-18 Tesla Model 3 standard plus 150 miles October 21, 2025
These tires completely change the behavior of my very efficient but boring Model 3. With touring tires like the Michelin Primacy the car is difficult to control when sliding and on wet roads: all electronic systems make the car hard to control.
With the InterStates semi-slicks the car was very predictable on the dry track and the car gave me enough confidence to really push my daily driver to the limit.
Excellent grip and steering feedback: very direct steering.
Back home the tires were very noisy: my comfort sedan felt like a go kart again.

fitted to a 1.6 eunos. more expensive than 2R's but softer. Cheaper than anything better branded. Too stiff for road use. Can't get 'em in 14's for the mazda. Sadly appear to be out of production. Would buy again if I could find some.

Interstate Sport IXT 1 225-45-17- Opel insignia 10 miles July 19, 2016
I saw this brand at a motor show in Holland. There tested in Holland but made in Taiwan and China (like everything else). Good review coming out just behind Vredestein. After reading the test, told the brother to buy them as the big brands are too dear for him and he did not want budget. He claims these tires are as good a any tire he had driven on and very good on the wet M50. 10,000 kms later and he has rotated his tires and all is good. Would buy again

Interstate Sport IXT 1 205-50-16-W Honda Accord 20,000 miles March 18, 2015
I have driven apply more than a million miles on tires, Michelin, Good Year, Dunlop, Vredestein, Hankook. I drive fast corners where the interstate after losing a bit dry, but on a wet surface is super.
I have them for the third roknajazdených 20000m and even the season lasts.
So I highly recommend. They are quiet, inexpensive and at the competitive price.
