Hifly VIGOROUS AT601 Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 17 reviews

The Hifly VIGOROUS AT601 draws favourable reports of traction on sand, rocks and other off-road terrain, but several owners report bulges or tyre separation. These are owner accounts rather than verified causes, yet they recur across different vehicles and cannot be treated as one isolated experience. Three of 17 reviewers describe vibration and three criticise road noise, alongside a smaller number of favourable comments on price. Tread-life opinions are mixed, with some later-life satisfaction but too little consistent evidence to establish an expected lifespan. The positive off-road experiences therefore sit alongside recurring reliability concerns rather than uniform approval.

I purchased four of these tires and all four separated with less than 10,000 miles, worst tire I have ever used.
Purchased them at Tire Kingdom who refused to stand behind the tire, just tried to sell me other brands after
The third and fourth tire separated. I'm gonna seek legal counsel about what can be done.

Will never buy these again. Tires are less than 7 months old and they are separating. Also have a friend that bought these tires he had had the same issues. Had to have all six replaced with around the same mileage as mine. If fact I got mine after he bought his thinking they were a good deal. My truck had 234,569 miles on it when installed now it has 247,990 so they are of poor construction from my experience

OK, here is the good with the bad.
The good is that they are a decent tire at a great price. They are air pressure sensitive but the ride is good with 45 PSI front and 40 PSI rear for my P/U empty. Note: you must air up to haul a load (80 PSI). I drive about 60% city, 30% highway and 10% off off road (Ca. desert). Tires work very well at the right air pressure in the desert (35-30 PSI). Just returned from a 90 mile off road trip over 2 days and never even hinted of getting stuck (sand & rocks etc).
The bad is that they are very noisy on the road, are cupping a little and are wearing fast. I am guessing they will be worn out at around 30K miles or so. On road handling is only OK. I might buy them again because of the price.
By the way do not ever buy Michelin truck tires. Before the Hifly's I has a set of Michelin LTX tires and 3 out of 4 had bad tread separation on the same trip with 50% tread remaining. After 2 weeks of jumping through hoops with Michelin they voided my warranty saying it was because I had Armor-all on the tires. That's right the excuse was because i had Armor-all on the tires. Went up their chain of command and they all refused to honor the warranty. The tire rep at Allen Tire said Michelin tire never honors a warranty - period.
