Robby DeGraff @robbydegraffap.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Good morning folks, question for the hive: 🛞 If you have bought new tires within the past two years, what brand did you decide to go with and why? Cheers. 39113
Ben's Eco Adventure @bensecoadventure.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Hankook Ion EVO AS for the Ariya. They are honestly the best EV specific tires on the market. Also bought Kumho Solus 4S HA32 for the Bolt EUV. Wanted a mid price tire that was good for occasional snow/ice, understanding there was a compromise to be made on noise and efficiency 000
Matthew Skwarczek (he/they) @scoutingforzen.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I bought two sets of Continentals--ExtremeContact DWS 06 and VikingContact 8--for my Mazda 3 because the tires it came with *needed* to be replaced. I got the Continentals based on my co-workers' recommendations and b/c Tire Rack had a rebate on the Vikings 000
Cody @410crj.bsky.social · 16/09/2026BfGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2s for my Frontier because after 15 years of owning vehicles with those tires they have never let me down. They also go roughly 130,000km before they gotta be changed. And raised white letters lol 000
timoffee.bsky.social @timoffee.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Just bought four Continentals in the past couple of weeks, to replace the Continentals I had on the car already. I find it hard to judge how good car tyres are but Continental make good bicycle tyres. If Schwalbe made car tyres I’d buy those. 011
Oaty, or something @labcoatguy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Continental DWS06+. They were the best all-rounder in the size I needed, and Tire Rack had a great sale on them. 000
Sprig @sprigdeer.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Falken wild peak at2ws in 285/75R16 because that’s what they had available at the shop in Japan before export lmao Wanted ko3s in the same size but no such luck 010
Flower @thegayflower.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Falken Wildpeak AT Trails on my crosstrek, 215/70r16 which are the largest that fit. Good for the sort of trails and light offroading I do and not a bigger/beefier tire that wouldn't actually help me 001
Waylon @hooneriphic.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I put Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 on the 4Runner last year. They've been great and came highly recommended by 4Runner owners. I put a set of Defenders on my Lightning this year. Too early to tell how they hold up to the weight of my Lightning but the UTQG of 820BA tells me they should do ok. 110
Antony Ingram @antonyingram.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Pretty much by accident the last three sets have been Hankook. Decent affordability while still being a familiar brand, they seem to cover some unusual sizes that other brands don't, and decent reviews for each car I've bought them for. 000
Brian Peter Gluckman @bgluckman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Michelin CrossClimates, because I was expecting to spend more time in the mountains around here than I did. Still great in winter rains, though. 000
Fred Smith @fredsmith.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Has been the choice the last two times I have needed tires and the car in between came on them. Was a huge upgrade over Pirellis both times, although one was All-Seasons to Summers so an upgrade was inevitable. 100
L Chupacabra: The Pope Of Chili Town @lchupacabra.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Kumho. High ratings on Tire Rack, reasonable price, long tread life 010
juanrive 🇺🇦 @juanrive.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I did Cooper because they were cheaper and the garage guy used them himself. That’s a Subaru 110
FrozenBBQ @frozenbbq.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Continental ExtremeContact Sport (first gen, old stock so on sale) for my '21 M550i. I wanted summer tires because I'd bought a square set of wheels and kept my OEM square run-flats for winter duty. They were available in the size I wanted and were cheap, and I love Conti. Then it was totaled, ugh. 000
Papa Speedmeritus LXIX @r32gtst.myatproto.social · 17/09/2026Travelstar, because the $700 Falkens I put on my truck in 2018 are $1400 now 000
kevin mccauley @capturingthemachine.com · 16/09/2026Firestone on the daily last summer when I got a flat and needed four replacements. Firestone isn’t usually my first choice, but I needed something same day(ish), and the Firestone shop is by far the best tire service place in my area 000
Jack Swansey @jackswansey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I got a great deal on some Falken summer tires on FixGo, happy with them so far 000
Blake Smith @basmitharts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Been running inexpensive Advan ones on my car for years without issue. Prior to that I was running Falken Anzenis, but had a bad experience with a set and it turned me off of Falken. 110
Busted Ride @bustedride.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Bought Goodyear because there was a good promotional price and they offered best traction over our OE tires we could get reasonably fast, and within our budget. 000
Evan Williams @evanwritescars.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Hankook (i*cept iZ3) winters. They were half the price of the Blizzak/XIce, but from a known good brand so I figured it was worth a shot. Would do again. 000
victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Falken Wildpeaks on my new to me Jeep because I had Falken Wildpeaks on the van and I loved the blend of on-road and off-road performance. They’re the most competent tire I’ve tried in dirt that only costs maybe 1-2 mpg on the highway 050
737 max [spooky] @bluebookvalue.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I got vredestein snows because they were way cheaper than blizzaks with similar reviews. They’re not bad! 000
James Gilboy @jamiegilboy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I’m still running a set of all-season Vredesteins I got while working as press. I’d buy them again, they’re cheap rain tires and I live in the PNW. They’re also just performance *enough* to have fun on. My MR2 will run whatever size I can get, because options for them are truly awful. 000
TakuroSpirit @takurospirit.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Hankook, twice. Once, because cheapest white wall for the Buick. Again, because cheapest that fit the Vette, plus they had a rebate. 120
MaaronSpiderweber🕷️🕸️🎃 @maaronweber.bsky.social · 17/09/2026When the Cup2s finally gave up I got Firestone indy500s (2nd time I’ve had them) 000
Chad Kirchner @chadkirchner.com · 16/09/2026Yokohama, because I only needed two, and that's what I had on my car prior. Sadly, getting 16-inch tires is getting more and more difficult these days. 110
Frank Wolthuis @fhwolthuis.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 on my CX-5. Great all round tire for the low numbers I drive yearly (around 5000km). 000
Rory @norwichgiant.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Continental It was the most premium choice for the odd size I needed, and I wanted the best for my 306. 000
DMCMarty @dmcmarty.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Kumho because they were the only company that made the size I needed. 130
Niclas Åkerström @niclasakerstrom.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Nokian (summer tires) for lowest noise and good performance in rain. 000
TamerlaneBlog @tamerlaneblog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Just got Bridgestones for the i3. Yokohamas for the van. One Goodyear when the M550i had a flat. 010
Maybe It's Keith @maybeitskeith.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Michelin. Had great luck with Nitto tires until they installed a set on the Expedition. Terrible road noise so Discount Tire didn't charge us extra fees to upgrade to them. Great tire so far. Nittos for the Fairlane mostly for performance and having the correct size for 12" wide rear wheels 000
Équipe Radar Love @midnightdorifto.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Michelin PS4S because they’re just the best for the application, and about to snag some Yokohama A052s but that’s just size limited 030
Freddie @cabanafred.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I got Goodyear weatherready 2’s on the Equinox because I was sick of doing the snow tire dance & they were $50 cheaper than the Michelin crossclimates. They’re holding up great. The Camaro got Kumhos which are the only ones in the size (very quiet) Sonic got Sam’s Club pirellis ( good on small cars) 000
JK-by-the-Sea @jk-by-the-sea.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Goodyear. Which was quite a leap since I pretty much exclusively buy Michelin and Pirelli, but the Rivian spec Goodyear Territory AT tires seemed to be an incredible upgrade (so long as you don't care about off-road performance) compared to the Pirelli ATs that came on the vehicle. 000
all this is passing @allthisispassing.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Earlier this year bought Michelin PS4Ss for my BMW 328d touring, that came to me with KW coilovers and complete suspension refresh on 19” wheels. Also came with commuter grade tires that sucked. Loud, terrible water rejection and numb feel. The Michelins were the right tire and I love them! 000
Daniel Golson @dsgolson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Last year I bought a new set of Michelins for my CLS (Pilot Sport 4 all-seasons). I do genuinely prefer Michelins over any other brand, but really I’m just a simp for Bibendum 030
Yukon LumberJake Cornelius @foxtrotzed.bsky.social · 16/09/2026General. They had one of the highest snow performance ratings for an all season on tire rack. I also had two sets on a previous car that performed great in snow and had great wear life. 110
