Best Tyres for the Kia Motors Sorento

When purchased initially, they were great.

My problem with the Michelin Crossclimate SUV has been the treadwear and how the tire has deteriorated. Please see photos.

Upon noticing the tires being bald on the inside and rubber pulling away from the tread of the tires, Michelin was contacted directly. We did as ask, took it to an approved shop to be inspected by a certified mechanic. The condition of the tires was confirmed. However, here is the bad part. Although they have a 50,000 mile warranty or 6 years from dated of purchase, we fell outside of the 6 years by 3 months and 4 days. Please understand, while the tires lasted 28,404 miles, it's the way the tires deteriorated.

They were rotated every 5,000- 7,000 miles. We don't drive much.

Michelin offered to reimburse 25% of a new set of tires. Before this, I equated the Michelin brand with a company which stood behind their products. After this, my confidence in Michelin has crumbled.

The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 X is an amazing all‑season tire that performs consistently well in dry, wet, and snowy conditions. I’m extremely satisfied, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable and versatile tire.

Silent tire, good grip, wet and dry. Worst tread wear eis the wort ever! Looks like it is made not for an SUV but for lighter car.

After clocking 45,000 km with the Giti Sport S2, and having previously driven on the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 prior to Giti, I have to thank my regular tire shop for insisting that I switch to the Cinturato Rosso. Looking back now, it was an excellent recommendation.

Living in Kuala Lumpur, I constantly deal with road surfaces that are far from ideal. The asphalt here takes a beating from heavy daily traffic, while repeated digging for water, electricity, and telecommunication works leaves behind uneven patches and rough textures. For someone driving a Kia Sorento 2.2 turbo diesel, producing 450 Nm of torque and weighing nearly 1,907 kg, finding a tire that balances strength, comfort, and control is a challenge.

The Cinturato Rosso meets every expectation. On rough and bumpy city roads, it delivers an outstanding level of comfort, almost like gliding on air cushions that absorb vibrations and soften every impact. It truly feels like a shield for the suspension and absorber system. In terms of comfort, I would confidently rate it 10 out of 10, comfortably ahead of the Giti Sport S2 (6), Goodyear Asymmetric 3 (3), and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 (7).

When it comes to dry handling and stability, the Rosso performs remarkably well. Its steering response is precise and confident, easily matching the accuracy of the Goodyear Asymmetric 3. Under wet, high-speed conditions, it inspires strong confidence too, its grip feels almost adhesive, just slightly below the Goodyear Asymmetric 3 but on par with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Both dry and wet braking distances are impressively short for a vehicle of this weight, giving a sense of security and control even in sudden stops.

After years of experimenting with different ultra-high-performance tires, I can finally say I have found a near-perfect match for my vehicle’s torque, weight, and driving style of daily city commutes or spirited highway runs.

I strongly believe the Cinturato Rosso is indeed a balance between touring comfort and UHP performance. I have finally found the ideal tire for my Sorento. I will definitely buy it again.

Only had these only for around 3 weeks now, but these tyres are incredible sticks to the road like s##t to a blanket. Tried in thr mild snow we just had and the extreme flooded roads and there is no sliding what so ever can't comment on the wear as I have only just got them on but so far for wet, dry and that light snow we had these tyres were superb.

I’ve had these Cooper AT3 installed for 6 months now. My initial thoughts and experiences are that these are a great set of tyres.
I drive a Kia Sorento with part time 4wd and I do 50/50 road and off road. Dry and mud. I can only say off road these tyres haven’t let me down. I’ve driven across Wales in dry and wet conditions and I’ve been very happy with this purchase. They bite well into the mud and get you out of trouble in 4wd. On the road at motorway speeds you can’t really tell they are A/T tyres. Only a barely audible humming from the aggressive tread pattern, but you’d really have to pay attention to hear the difference between these and road tyres. The only thing I noticed was the slightly softer road feedback through the steering wheel. Even at 35psi the feel of the road is quite soft, but is this because they are A/T tyres and not tarmac racing tyres? However, this does not affect handling or confidence as they grip the road very well in wet and dry. The soft feel also provides a very comfortable drive on the road.
Yes I will be buying these again when they are approaching 4mm.

The tires are unimpressive at just about anything. Dry traction and grip are acceptable, noise/comfort is fine. Wet traction and grip are underwhelming, and snow traction is pretty bad.
They are wearing extremely quickly, and are down to about 20% tread after only 25,000 miles. These are supposedly a 70,000 mile tire. These tires are daily driven on the highway as part of my wife's commute. They're not abused, they've been rotated every 5,000 miles. We had the alignment checked to make sure nothing was out of spec because they are wearing so much more quickly than expected. I will definitely not be buying another set of these. There are several other tire options that are better than these Nexens in literally every category.

Coming from Pirilli Scorpions, this set of P10's are a huge jump in terms of wet and dry handling. Never going back for sure.
