Kia Motors Kia Optima K5 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero given 69% (235-45-18)

Driving on a combination of roads for 13000 average miles

OE equipped on 2021 Kia K5. Stiff ride desirable at higher speeds. Tend to tramline at low speeds over uneven surfaces. Alignment and suspension on spec. Just the nature of the beast, I guess.
Higher aspect ratio Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires (compulsory during Winter season in Quebec, Canada) do not exhibit tramlining behaviour.

Writing about the GT Radial SportActive 2 given 96% (225-45-18-)

Driving on mostly motorways for 50000 average miles

One of the best tire I ever used. Worth it for money. Especially wet drip and comfort

Writing about the Rovelo Sport A1 given 80% (215-55-17-)

Driving on mostly town for 5000 average miles

I had one of these fitted due to an unrepairable original tire. Old stock so the tire looks tarnished and had untrimmed rubber around the edges. For a budget tire these are acceptable to fit but don't look attractive even with the sidewalls armouralled.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta PS31 given 80% (215-55-17-)

Driving on mostly town for 9000 average miles

Replaced original tires which were Continental PC5. I like the look of these tires with the chequered sidewall. The front tires started to peel after 6000 miles and I put this down to the softer compound, driven on hot Malaysian roads. No vibration so decided to keep using them until they are worn.

Writing about the Continental ContiMaxContact MC5 given 84% (215-55-17-)

Driving on mostly town for 21000 average miles

Kia K5 original fitment. Front tires worn out in 19,000km. A mixture of highway and local driving. The rear tires are still good at 35,000km.

Writing about the Kumho Solus KU50 given 90% (-45-17-)

I bought this model. The brakes are excellent in dry and wet conditions. I will definitely buy this model again. My previous tire was Hankook prime2. Komho ku50 is better than that.
