Fitment comes from each tyre'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.

Royal Black Explorer II 235-50-19- Chevrolet Captiva 3,000 miles February 26, 2025

This review is based on the Royal Black Explorer II in 235/50/19 103Y XL (front and rear).

The tyres were fitted within 2 weeks of each other (fronts first). Dry grip is absolutely fine but I don't throw my SUV around. When it's wet grip is fine but some extra care is taken just in case. Wet rating is 'C' but my SUV is somewhat lardy so best to be on the safe side. Can't really comment on handling or feedback given these tyres aren't "pushed". So far wear is good but the boots are somewhat noisy at speed - all okay at 60 mph but at 70 mph there's an obvious drone (tyre is rated at 72dB). But am I happy? Yes and would buy again.

Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico 235-60-17-V Chevrolet Captiva 40,000 miles January 27, 2021

M+S 235/60/R17 ASÄ°METRÄ°CO PÄ°RELLÄ° ZERO , I used this tire for five years on my old car chevrolet captiva 2.0 d 2008. Especially, snow capability is enough, considering it is an all season tire

Continental Sport Contact 5 235-55-18-V Chevrolet Captiva 300 miles October 8, 2013

Fitted CSC5 to replace OE Dunlop SP Sport 270. Both models are considered good overall. Honestly I never thought it would be this different. New CSC5s are very comfort (supple but not mushy) and quiet. They are so quiet that I notice the engine noise and wind noise much more than before. The braking performance is super both dry and wet (experiencing a big typhoon now in Shanghai). Studied mechnical engineering at Uni but I never realised tyres could make such a big difference to the handling and comfort for a car. I would strongly recommend these tyres to SUV users mostly driving and communting in town and on motorways.
