Best Michelin 4WD Tyres
Michelin Latitude Tour HP
OEM tyres on 2019 Hilux – Had these from new on a 2019 Toyota Hilux SR5. 265x60r18 Yes, smooth quite highway / bitumen driving. Ok on soft offroad use like light gravel roads… Read more
and a bit of light sand use. Definitely not great on wet / muddy grass, but that's expected with this type of tread pattern.
Just one month shy of 2 years use, 53,000 kms, and unfortunately the poor process of the Toyota service department "rotation" system (missing rotation on 2x service intervals and then only doing front to back on same side) had excessive wear on the outside of the passenger side wheels outer walls. Rest of the tread was ok for probably another "legal" 20,000km, but in reality in wet weather the traction control was starting to work overtime.
Plus, I started to notice from about 18 months use, around the 40,000km, the tyres would give off a "squeal" in dry conditions on hard concrete surfaces like carparks etc when cornering at slow speeds.
On a 4wd, these are really just highway and soft offroad tyres. An AT type variant tyre is probably more appropriate on a Hilux type vehicle.
I've replaced them with Scorpion All Terrain + tyres (see my review on here)

I've had 3 sets of Primacy SUV 215/65R16 tyres on my Mitsubishi Diesel ASX over 9 years. I run them at 35psi and gently drive 30,000Km/year - mostly… Read more
highway driving. They're excellent tyres, with low road noise, good grip on wet bitumen, never had a puncture, maintains control on very rough surfaces, and I've averaged 80,000Km per set. I bought a set of Michelins for my wife's Corolla and I've been recommending them to everyone. My third set cost $750 (end of financial year special) from Jax Toowoomba. Recent quotes for a fourth set ranged from $1060 to $1220 which is a significant price rise in the last 3 years - too much for this Michelin fan. After much homework, I've just replaced my Michelin Primacy SUV tyres with Falken CT60 tyres for $770 including wheel alignment, from Bob's Auto at Hervey Bay. Farewell Michelin.

issues . Mechanical issue they believe caused by wheel alignment , there is no abnormal wear and after presenting proof via photos the communication has ended. So the Michelin Tyre wear guarantee not worth anything.

Great value and service – Very easy as they came to the house. Sms was sent to let me know they were on their way and the tyres have been excellent for a much better price than other retailers.

- and I drive a 200 series Sahara which is very comfortable anyway. To actually notice a difference in the ride was amazing for my comfort.
Will check back in at 10,000 kms.
Thanks to the team at Malvern Tyre and Service
