What drivers say about their 225/60 R18 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
The tyres have done well on mixed roads. Motorway, minor roads and forestry haul roads. I suspect they are too focused on winter for our climate. Snow is infrequent. All weather or all-season might be better for wet weather and warm summers.
They may have done 44,000 miles. I bought car with these tyres on at 20,000 miles and they were not new then.
I’ve gone through two sets of these tires. I live in a hot climate, no snow and sometimes a lot of rain. It handles really well in the rain. I’ve gone 123mph with them. I’ve had punctures like 6 times and they’ve always been patchable without an issue.
I think they are great tires. They don’t last as long as the defender series but I think they work better in the rain.
What ever you do, do not buy these tyres. After driving just 5,000 km, all four tires had identical, catastrophic structural carcass failure (delamination/belt separation).
Attached figure tells the story.
To be clear:
Tire Pressures: Checked regularly and kept consistently between 2.6 and 2.8 bar.
Vehicle Condition: Inspected directly by an authorized main dealer, suspension, alignment, and vehicle geometry are fine.
Road: Around 1000km during summer time on dirt road and the rest in normal city conditions on paved road.
To make matters worse, Bridgestone customer service has completely ignored all complaints and claim the road. Just wondering should a premium tyre be in this condition after 1000km on unpaved road. On Bridgestone case apparently yes..!
ive had them since 2019 till end of sept 2026 they are really solid when it comes to wear and tear
My priorities were quiet tyres, that were predictable and consistent across dry and wet conditions in spring, summer, and fall. I've found the Pirellis to be stable and consistent in the dry and wet, and I've never experienced any aquaplaning at highway speeds (up to 110 kph). I drive sedately, so I can't comment on limit handling behaviour.
Compared to the stock Yokohama tyres that were on the Subaru Outback from factory, the Pirellis were more quiet, and provided a far more stable base for the car under braking and turning. The stability meant that I could apply throttle more smoothly through corners rather than waiting for the car to settle first. The stock tyres felt "squishy" under-load where the Pirellis feels solid.
These tyres are not used in snow and ice. The lowest ambient temperatures they experienced was around 3C at highway speeds, and I did not notice a substantial change in how the tyres responded to acceleration, braking, or turning.
The best compliment that I can offer these tyres is that ever since I've put them on my vehicle, I've rarely thought about them, and I haven't reconsidered my purchase decision.
Having driven nearly 24,000+ miles on these tyres on my Honda CR-V since November 2022, I'm thoroughly impressed. Compared to other tyres I've used like Pirelli Scorpion Verde& Goodyear Wrangler HP All Weather, they balance durability & refinement exceptionally well. They handle Nairobi's demanding roads & highway drives easily, with outstanding wet grip. Cabin noise remains low & ride comfort stays smooth. Performance hasn't faded after almost 3 years. Exceptional value & would definitely buy them again.
