What drivers say about their 275/55 R19 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Much quieter than previous Russian Nokian effort. No tread separation issues yet (it is an American made Nokian).
best studless winter tyre i ever had, my previous experience was Pirelli and Goodyear
It’s a RFT !!! It’s not good to use a Mercedes gl ! It’s not for this suspension. Run flat tyres ? I don’t know what for is that tyres . All rft not recommended!!!
Replaced WRSUV G3 that suffered tread separation after 5 years; the G5 version of the WRSUV is smoother running and virtually noiseless.
These tires are horrible. I bought 275/55/19 on my Mercedes G Class and they wear off to 6" in less than 4k miles. I DON'T do offloading but only weekend driving. I don't recommend these tires to any driver. One of the tires developed deep pockets in less than 4k driving miles and all 6" wear tread.
Folks, stay away from Continental. They are overhyped brand. You will get more value for your money with Yokohama, Nito, Toyo
Just bought them to replace Michelin Latitude Sport. Both are MO. For now they are ok. Will update in a few km.
275/55 R19 111V MFS MO
The tyre were already fitted when I bought the car. The performed ok until the end. With the tread down to legal limit they maintain a very good wet grip. I just don't consider to buy again because they are outdated. Not tested offroad. Only did 6000ml with them but they did many more. I just don't know the number.
