    Just changed a set of these wonderful SUV tyres onto my 2016 Crv, and I've got to say they have transformed my vehicles ride and handling to another level. Its much quieter and more comfortable than the Goodyear Wranglers, not to mention the grip and handling have improved too. Overall, a great SUV tyre, now just hope that the threads do last as long as it says it does. 🤞

      Gerard Burke what is the rough mileage till a scrap them

    • @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage
      @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage  5 років тому

      Mileages returns differ greatly depending on driving styles and conditions. I have in the past sold the same size and pattern tyre (not continental) to 2 different customers with the same vehicles, there was nearly a 30,000km difference from one to another. Motorway miles vs city driving meant very different results from the same product.
      If I was to average out what I think this tyre is likely to return as along as there is no alignment issues, I would say a 50,000km tyre. I hope this helps

    Using Continental UC6 195/55R16 at 33psi pressure each for last 1200+ kms. Comfort level, breaking and noise reduction is really good. BUT very major concern I'm facing is, mileage is lessened sharply from 17-18kmpl to less than 14km on highway and 14kmpl to 9 kmpl on city roads.
    I'm getting overall milage of 11kmpl as of now. Before changing tyres, I was able to get 580-600kms in full tank, whereas now it's reduced to less than 450kms in same fuel.
    I was using Appollo Alnac 4G firstly, which gave me better milage. I'm now checking for exchange.

      Continental tyres are very good quality tyres. Although a bit below the Michelin in term of performance and noise quality but the Michelin are still the most expensive brand. Also, what is your opinion with Bridgestone or Dunlop? I think Bridgestone has good performance but its quite loud.

  • @PaulDickson7

    Just purchased a set of the UC6 tyres today 225/65R/17 for my Mazda CX5 AWD for $590. First impressions, the tyres feel smooth and quiet and comfortable to drive. They don't have that black glossy new tyre look and I had to check twice that they were new tyres when they were fitter. Performance though, much better than the stock Yokohama G98's which I managed to get 52,000km out of. Hopefully I get 50,000km out of these otherwise I will be switching to Michelin Latitude Tour's which was my possible upgrade option. I will report back in 6 months time to let you guys know how they're tracking.

    @andrewedmonds9347 4 роки тому +2

    I really appreciate your review. When you talk about a NEW tyre and how it works, it does not seem to be useful information for when the tyre has worn past the 80% zone. The 'diamond edge' being at an angle , is totally irrelevant ( in my humble opinion) from the 75% to the 20% life of the tyre. The design as it works when the tyre is new is important. the noise breakers ARE relevant for the life of the tyre , thanks for pointing that out. Evacuating the water from the middle to avoid aqua planing is important, how relevant will they be when the first 25% has worn off the tyre ?

    Great review Gerard - very informative and well presented. Had these fitted yesterday on recommendation of my local garage (even though I had done much research beforehand and was going to opt initially for the Michelin Primacy 3 - he convinced me otherwise). Have since read some great reviews on these tyres. Looking forward to their performance, especially in the wet (replacing Yokohama Geolander, which often slipped in wet weather from a starting position when on other grass or tarmac).

      Regarding the change of sizing I am not sure, you would have to consult with a size calculator to ensure you will have enough space in the arches if wider and that you don't throw out your speedo too much if bigger overall.

    In my experience at no point do expensive tyres justify their substantial price increase.
    Excluding the impoverished, if they did everyone would buy them.
    Forget safety, forget performance and comfort, I just use tread life as the lowest common denominator benchmark because most people don't need more safety, performance or comfort, they just want a set of tyres.
    Regarding cheap tyres I'm not talking the bottom of the cheapest range, I'm talking the mid point of the cheap range.
    I use $500 set & $1000 set because it's easier to illustrate the point.
    It could be more like $600 vs $900 set narrowing the differences however it in no way changes my contention.
    The assumption is for identical tyre size in cheap vs expensive.
    Distilled down,
    *To hit equality with $500 set, the $1000 set would need to double their tread life.
    They don't.
    *To offer value for money, the $1000 set would need to extend that tread life well beyond +100% of the $500 set to say +150%.
    They don't.
    The case for mid priced cheap range tyres is clear. They do represent the best value for money for most people.
    The end.

      Different tyre providers have different specials and or warranty with the tyres they sell.
      For example, these have warranty in Australia with a company called mycar - check their website and you will see.
      They also offer it on Kumho, Pirelli and some Goodyear. It is not a continental warranty but a tyre provider who gives the warranty at point of sale.

      Gerard Burke No problem! Fronts are 255/45R20 105W rears are 275/45R20 110Y. I am a bit annoyed they are different sizes because you can’t diagonally rotate them to extend their life

      How have you found the tyres so far? Very interested to hear feedback from you and how they perform on a Model X👌👍

      Gerard Burke Hi, I’ve only had them a few weeks (I delayed the purchase because I was so disappointed in only getting 35,000km out of the Michelins & ran them longer). So far so good. They are definitely a firmer ride & the road bumps come through the car more. As for the road noise, the difference is barely noticeable - foam inlay tyres are common for electric cars, but don’t justify the hundreds of dollars price premium (for me). I want durability first & foremost, without foregoing safety. I hope to get at least 50,000km out of them, especially as I have a tyre care plan that involves free rotation & balance every 6 months or 10,000km. A recent UK study found Tesla drivers drive further per year than owners of cars from any other manufacturer!
