Kia Motors Carnival 2.2 Diesel Tires

Compared to my OE tires (continental crosscontact rx), these nexen tires have much better dry and wet grip, very quite and comfortable, but the sidewall is on the softer side, so the road feedback is not very sharp. I expected this for a touring tire, and adding 1-2 psi has addressed the issue for me and the tires are suitable for my current needs. I would buy again since the price is reasonable. This tire is also an OE on a few other Kia cars.

Dry grip I dont have an issue so far, however wet grip is pretty dangerous. On normal rainy day, going through a roundabout slowly but on hilly terrain will cause the car to skid and understeer. Noise is relatively good and wear is reasonable provided regular rotation is done, especially on heavy car like my kia carnival. I would prefer a different tire next time since there are few other tires with similar performance characteristics can be cheaper, like goodyear or yokohama.

While these tires are relatively comfortable and the road noise isn't the worst I've experienced, their grip is terrible. In dry conditions you can get wheel spin, and in wet you WILL get wheel spin. When towing, they don't inspire a lot of confidence and I intentionally allow even more braking distance than I do with other tires.
Wear is also another issue. I've had to rotate and align the tires three times now (every 5,000km rather than the usual 10,000km), and they're still wearing quicker than they should. They were fitted by the manufacturer on my new car, I've travelled less than 15,000km, and I'm already looking at alternatives.

Absolutely brilliant. I drive a kia carnival and have the primacy 4 plus suv variant. I bought the car 2nd hand and it was wearing bridgestone supercats. I only realised how bad the bridgestones were after i swapped them for the Michelins. The difference is huge. They have much better grip in both the dry and wet. My carnival used to spin the tires too easily on wet roads at the traffic lights with not even firm acceleration, that stopped after changing to Michellins. Better still is how more comfortable and quiet the tires are. I have had them for over 14,000km now and they are wearing very well. I highly recommend these tires

Came with the MPV. Previously used the Solus design on the Wife's Peugeot 307 HDI and they drove a treat, with good multisurface grip, more than adequate performace in the occasional downpour, and as good a mileage as the "more expensive" Brands.

On the Kia they perform really well, and are remarkably quiet. Durability's OK in comparison to others, and on a cost per mile basis they certainly come out well.

We'll definitely buy these again, since they seem to suit our particular driving mix just fine.
