I don't know what happened with mine. I bought them due to their high ratings, but i had two different shops try to balance them and fail. The first was non-road force balancing and the second was a road force place. The second shop showed me the detailed printout and required weights to get them as good as they could and they still shook above 60mph. He rotated them on the rims to try to get them to match up as well as adding the weights.

I have since replaced them with a set of nokian entyres and the shake is gone.

 

Hi, I just bought myself a 2011 mitubishi Outlander ES 2wd and already shopping for winter tires. What do you suggest? I was thinking for Pirelli Scorpion, Michelin X-ice or Toyo Open Country G-02. I'm actually looking for a 16'' set with rims what size should I look for the tires? 215 or 225, 60, 65 or 70? I need help, i dont know much about this...

 

Living in Canada I think I qualify for an answer.

Size 215 / 70 - 16 on steel rim (Aluminum corrode to fast at the tire lip then leak) and more comfortable ride.
Also narrow tire cut better through the snow and float less.

For snow and some ice get the Toyo
For mostly ice take the Michelin or any Bridgestone Blizzak

Forget the TPMS you can live with the annoying warning as easily as the freezing warning at 3C or 2F

 

Merci Claude_A for the advice !!!!

 

Six months ago replaced OEM with Michelin Latitude Tour HP, slightly larger 235/55/R18 (instead of 225), all season M+S rated. Very satisfied with them. The stiring is better specially in 2WD mode, softer ride, very good in rain. Have to mention 80% of my driving is town/highway. Price in Greece € 760, no idea of relevant cost in the US/Canada.

 

My wife's 2010 Outlander ES came with P215/70 R16 Geolander GO33's. They were junk as far as I was concerned. Very noisy, hard riding, and worn out in 50,000 km. I went straight to Michelin - I had always used their tires and never been disappointed. I chose the Defender series, but they could not match the OEM size, so I moved up to a P235/65 R16. They look and drive great. Overall diameter is 28.0 inches compared to 27.9 on the OEM's, so no issues with the speedometer.

 

Need new tires soon...below are the recommendations(incl. price) from the dealers. It is not a deal breaker, but i am shopping for better deals as 4 tyres do add up the cost.

1. Good - Michelin Premiers 280cdn per tyre
2. Better - Toyo Versado 316cdn per tyre
3. Best - Hankook I Pike 344cdn per tyre
Includes 100cdn for installation + 26.76 tyre tax

I am going after Yokohama Ascend or Envigor.

Are the prices reasonable for the above mentioned? And of course, if I can get better deals from reputable garage or shops, I would go for it since they are selling same tyres as dealers.

Any feedbacks/comments are appreciated!

 

Hi all, first post here, so I will introduce myself: I bought a 2007 Outlander XLS FWD about a week ago, I live in Guatemala central america and here we have a rainy and a non rainy season throughout the year, so snow or ice is not a concern.

My Outie has two different sizes of tires installed: Front are 225/55/18, and has a pair of 245/50/18 in the back.

So my first impression is that I want to replace al 4 tires to 225/55/18 (since front ones are a lot worn out than the ones on the back) but my question is: can I fit another tire sizes other than the recommended by the factory without compromising the safety the occupants or increasing the risk of damaging other parts of the car?

How flexible should I be when looking for tire sizes? Or should I stick with the factory recommendation?

Thank you so much for your help.

 

What is the biggest tires you can get for the 18" wheels on a 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS?
