  • Today we are doing an HT Tire Comparison with Cooper, Yokohama, Firestone, General Tire, Michelin, & Continental. We're comparing highway terrain light truck tires, and we have the Cooper Evolution HT, Yokohama Geolander g056, Firestone Destination LE3, General Grabber HTS60, Michelin Defender LTX, & Continental Terrain Contact HT. I like all of these tires but if it were my money, I would choose the Continental Terrain Contact HT or the General Grabber HTS60. A couple of my guys here at the shop just bought some Terrain Contact HT's and love them. One set went on a Toyota 4Runner and one set on a Toyota Tacoma.

    Michelin isn't what it used to be. I ran 2 sets of LTX M/S on my Expedition but they are just too expensive and the most I got was about 50k miles out of each set. What really killed Michelin for me was the Michelin Defenders on my Honda had a blow out at 80 mph on the interstate with less that 30k miles on them. The owner of the tire store told me the Defenders had been having problems so I bought Yokohama this time and so far very satisfied

    I just got my first set of Continental HT XL tires n my 2021 Toyota Tundra Platinum Crew Max. I had these tires installed in the middle of a snow storm. On my way in with my OEM Bridgestone Duelers HL’S. These tires are unbelievable, when I went in I had to be in 4x4 we got 12” today of wet heavy snow in Iowa. When I left the tire store I wanted to test these new ones out. I left in two wheel drive and never needed 4wd after. They stopped like I was on dry pavement while on 100% snow and ice covered roads. I run Blizzacks on my wife’s car that are a 100% snow rate tire. These perform just as well as an all season on my Tundra. I have never been happier and more impressed with a tire in my life and this is just a highway tire. What amazing tires.

    Thanks for the review. I have a 2000 Ram 2500 that came with Michelin's. That's what i always replaced them with and I was always happy. But the last time i decided to save a little money and went with the Yokohama's. While they gave good service i was never happy about what i considered excessive noise. I always thought i would go back to the Michelin, but since the truck is no longer a daily driver i really couldn't see spending the extra 3 to 4 hundred dollars. Just yesterday a had a set of General Grabber HTS60's installed. Very glad you hold them in such high regard. Hopefully they will give me several years of quality service.

Haven't put a lot of miles on them, but they seem excellent thus far. I keep reading and hearing great things about them, found this video after I'd already had them put on lol.

      Nice! I’m not into HT tires because they are too focused on highway diving. but Continental makes amazing tires. I just picked up a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 which are true 4 season tires DWS stands for Dry Wet Snow so apparently they do well in the snow too. But they are fantastic so far but it being summer only gotten to test dry and wet and both have been nothing short of amazing.
      My last set of tires were Michelin pilot sport I forget exact series, I wasn’t as impressed with them as some people are. Yea great summer tires but heavy wet conditions like massive downpours with lot of water on the road, they didn’t live up to the hype many reviewers spoke of and worthless in snow storms I had to actually make an emergency tire purchase last year during a snow storm because of how bad they were in the snow…

      @@nspring06 no complaints about Extremecontact DWS06 as of yet.. however if your SUV is heavier and larger you will want to look for XL rated tires (extra load), I believe ExtremeContact DWS series has XL rated tires to pick from. Alternatively look for L/T grade tires (light truck) if you do a lot of hauling and towing, not sure Extremecontact comes in L/T grade however.
      Edit: only one word of warning about ExtremeContact DWS06, not anything bad, however they are Asymmetrical tread pattern, some people hate Asymmetrical tires for some reason.. this just means there is an inside and outside tire wall you have to be mindful of when mounting them on the rims one side is marked for outside and that side has to face out or it throws off your handling and messes with your alignment. but they can be rotated to any 4 corners as normally after mounted.. Asymmetrical tread patterns typically provide the best grip in adverse road conditions or extreme handling situations.

    This is my review on the tires I got from this video:
    Vehicle: 2001 GMC Yukon XL
    Tires: Continental Terrain Contact H/T
    Size: 265/70R17 115T
    Gas mileage: 11.3
    Long story short:
    I bought new tires due to my tires being 5 years old and around corners in the rain my truck would swing depending on how sharp I took the turn. Really at any speed (I tested it out lol) It would also slide a couple feet at an emergency/hard stop.
    So I bought new ones before going to mammoth took em to mammoth and man these tires are grippy obviously not bulletproof but huge difference. In rain it’s great no swing with over 2klb of tools in the back or not and overall feel a lot more confidence with rain. Stopping dry or wet is a lot better as well. Highly recommend those and can’t wait to try the Michelin next time. Thank you for your great input and video I definitely feel they were worth every penny 🤝

  • @z7117z
    @z7117z Рік тому +1

    Thanks for the videos, I learn a lot here. I don't think the ribs on the side are for cornering or stability however. Continental and others refer to those as sound barriers, or noise blockers. The Michelin does not use this technology. I prefer the Michelin for this, as I just feel there could be more mud and snow traction without those sound barriers, but I'm not sure it is a better design for traction or not. I doubt the Continental has stone ejectors. Continental sometimes puts small ribs at the bottom of the tread, they refer to them as 'traction grooves' meant to provide a bit more traction. I don't know if that would work or not, but maybe.

    I just bought the Michelins (for next spring) because I knew they are good, and were readily available. I've had the Generals before and I absolutely loved them for a year or so. Awesome in rain, smooth, quiet. But after maybe 30k miles they got really noisy. To the point where I had to get rid of them. By that time, they were wearing worse too and the ride was not nearly as good. Looking forward to the Michelins in the spring.
    I was quite curious on trying the Firestones too because they looked promising.

Question for you…besides cost how do I decide between the Defender LTX M/S and the Terrain Contact HT? I have a new GMC 3500HD single rear wheel, and spend 95% of my time on the road. I live in Michigan where we get snow and ice on and off during the Winter. In the Summer I pull a 8k pound travel trailer 8-12 times. Otherwise it’s my daily driver. I should add that I’ve had a few sets of the Michelins and I know how awesome they are. How do I choose?

    Excellent breakdown. I’ve got a 2002 Silverado 4x4 Z71 with 265/75/16 Michelin’s on it. I’m living in central Florida now and generally only drive paved roads anymore and haul a boat to the ramp once in a while. Didn’t want to go with Michelin’s again and was considering the Yokohama geo but saw several owner say they fell apart at 10 k some even less. when I ran across your video. Now I’m thinking Continentals. What are your thoughts. Thanks

    I had a set of the cooper evolution HT put on my 06 crew cab 6.5ft F150 and I liked the ride, it was soft and quiet, but it felt like it was not enough tire for that truck and they picked up alot of rocks, I did however enjoy the wrangler tires that came on my 2010 f150 crew cab 5.5ft, could be quieter and softer but no real complaints and they took a real beating!
    I also enjoy my Bridgestone dueler HL tires although they do not ride as soft nor as quiet on the highway as the coopers did and are not as stout as the wrangler. Right in the middle.

    i have had two sets of general grabbers on my 2014 Nissan Frontier. and still have the HTS60’s, but i may swap to another brand like Bridgestone Alenza.
    the original tires were BF Goodrich Radial Long Trail T/A and they worked out great except i only got 32,000 miles.
    The first new set were General Grabber XTS which are great tires but there was a vibration between 60 - 80mph, so i swapped them for another set of General Grabber HTS60, and these are doing the same thing at the same speeds. While at highway speeds and applying heavy braking i can feel and hear that there is something going on with at least one tire.
    Sounds like a spit on a tire that is mismatched possibly the construction of the tire, and both sets of grabbers do the same. Its as if both the XTS and these HTS60 have the same defect. If it’s not the tires, which can’t be because the original BF Goodrich were fine, then what could cause this vibration 60 - 80mph and the defect during heavy breaking ?
    The tire store doesn’t know what is causing it.
    These are the original cast aluminum rims and they fit into the hubs snug onto its centers. The tires are slightly out of round but this is with all tires.
    I like both the Grabber model tires and i would like to keep these HTS60’s, but they have vibration at a specific highway speeds, and noise during heavy braking.
    Does anyone have General Grabbers with the same issue?

      @Nick N Yes I did changed the tires, but I chose an AT tire, the Yokohama Geolandar AT G015, which is not an aggressive all terrain tire, but still help outside of the read.
      Compared to the Michelin Defender LTX, the G015 feels softer on the sidewalls so cornering is not as good but still very well handling.
      About lasting, the Defender are definitely lasting longer.
