I have been using this set of tires since 2021.After year and a half and not more than 20 000km, i can easily can see that they aging fast even though I use silicon based protector on sides(summer) and the winter in my place is not so harsh. Beginning of 2025 one of the tires was deflated( by the way no matter how much i pump that tire she looks always soft, side walls looks quite weak to me) After visiting local tire center we found crack(~30cm) along the tire board sealing to the rim. I purchase new one and change it. Today Another one was found in same condition.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Mitsubishi Pajero drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I wear this tire for the last 20 years on my gen3 3.5V6 and gen4 3.8V6 Mitsubishi Pajeros with only two 6-12 month intervals during which I tried the Maxxis M/T, thinking they were more appropriate for my off road adventures. Said that I never had any issues before going off road and without having anything more to expect from a tire going on road. Long story short I had the worst experience ever when driving on the wet without any significant off road gain plus a silly accident which costed me a huge by all means car damage and some serious rib fractures. I wouldn’t take in consideration the comparison between the Latitude Cross and the MT Maxxis as they come from a completely different perspective. But I haven’t tried any other tires so far. Anyway driving about 40-60.000 km/year between long distances on the highway, long distances off road and towing my RIB through any possible path for 20 years is because I still can’t find any concrete downside for my tires to take the risk of trying any other tire.
Hello: I have been driving the Minerva Frostrack UHP 265/60 R18 on my Pajero for 10 years (so 5 pairs), and without a single "change".
This means: I have new tires fitted before Christmas and then drive them for 2 years in the same position. Always through, in all situations: road, hunting,
with tipping trailer and 2x caravan with about 3500 km Croatia/Sweden, and here in the Eifel I have all weather situations and constant curves.If I d
If I then change them in the winter, there would still be enough tread until the summer, but given the price/quality I would like to have good tires again in the winter.
My mileage is around 17,000 - 20,000 km a year, so I drive them about 34,000 - 40,000 km and they would last another six months.
Can only recommend these tires.

Good wear, fine on the Highway and dry conditions. Pretty ordinary in the wet though.
Overall a very good tire. Comfortable and not too noisy. Good wear with 70k rotated. Probably not the best in the wet
I have been driving them for 4 month in dry conditions and done a fair amount of offroading mainly on gtavel and rocky terrain. While they handle very good they are outragiously noisy when on paved tarmac. I jave previously driven on some other tires on offroaders, such as the pireli scorpion which tobmy opinion can noy be called at tires as they are very volunrable, and toyou open country which i didnt like at all, , and cooper discoverer at3. On my current rig a 2009 pajero diesel, i had toyo open country when i bought it an was happy to replace them and was tempted to go for these bfs afyer having a great experince with bf km3 on a previous rig. Unfortunatly, these are the lodrst tires i have ever driven except for yhe km3s. On any givdn day i would take cooper at3, whicj ate far more quite and very capable off road. Sorry, but while the trail terrain ticks msny noxes they are way too loud. I wont buy thesr again.
bought them used 2017 tires and its 2023 now still alot of thread left but i can notice the wear now
but hey its gone though 7 summers where the dubai temps reach 55'c , road temp around 90'c
used it for offroading and city
too noisy and not comfy
but i feel very safe with these tires and they look badass

Bought a full set for the wife’s Shogun two years ago, still got at least two more years of life left in them.
Price wise I think they’re spot on!
As for comparing to more expensive brands, I think save some money and buy these.
I have driven the truck in snow and it felt like I was on rails, ice at sensible speeds is also no problem.
Wet weather driving confidence is boosted by these tires, and occasionally when the tractors are out and about and the roads are wet and covered in clay, confidence can be boosted further by using the shoguns super select system, and combined with these tires I would happily drive it into some tricky looking situations.
Buy them!
I have Mitsubishi Pajero SUV, I drive 60000 KM, mostly in City roads and long drives, but still button wear is good, grip is still ok with little noise on the road, by the way I live in Riyad and the climate is approximately 45 degrees, still it performed well. and performance i give 7/10 . the tires are not yet end of life you can say 3 quarter life finished.
I got these tires for off-road driving in snow, so this is what my review concentrates on.
I consider them good, but not quite great on snow and ice. They will probably outperform most other tires in these conditions, but I think a top-end winter tire would do better. My main complaint is that their lateral grip seems a bit lacking on snow and ice.
I have a second vehicle with Hankook Dynapro AT M tires, and the Geolandar I/T G072 tires get better grip on snow and ice. Having helped dozens of vehicles get unstuck from the snow (this is what I do for fun), I'm confident in saying that the Geolandar I/T G072 tires get somewhat better traction in snow than most all-terrain tires, and much better traction in snow than most mud-terrain tires.
On the pavement, they do fine, and they aren't too noisy. But, I don't ever push them hard on pavement, so I can't really say much about this.
