This is my second review on these tyres, because after trading my previous car (a Mitsubishi Lancer retro-fitted with the Michelin tyres), I bought a… Read more

2020 Honda CR-V AWD, which coincidentally came from the factory as OEM with the same type of Michelin tyres fitted (to all five wheels), albeit a larger size than the Lancer's.

After 22,000 plus kilometres on these tyres, I am still impressed with them, with great riding qualities enhancing the Honda's already smooth ride, good grip in both wet and dry conditions, and also great grip under heavy braking. This car is used for long highway trips, as well as some shorter runs around the city and suburbs, and the tyres instil great confidence in the safety and handling of the car on the road.

Noise levels are a little higher than I would expect, especially considering the improvement they made to the Lancer's interior noise levels, so I would knock maybe half a star of my rating for that. They are not showing much wear at this stage of their lives, so I can't report on the tyres' longevity.

Overall, I still highly recommend these Michelin tyres, although I believe they have been superseded by a newer "model" now, so may no longer be available.

I recently switched to Bridgestone Potenza tires, and the difference in driving performance was noticeable almost immediately. From the first few… Read more

miles, the tires provided excellent grip and responsiveness, making the car feel more connected to the road than before.

One of the standout qualities has been the handling. Whether navigating tight corners, highway ramps, or winding back roads, the Potenza tires inspire confidence with their strong traction and precise steering response. The vehicle feels stable and predictable, even during spirited driving. Braking performance has also been impressive, with shorter stopping distances and a reassuring sense of control in both dry and wet conditions.

Another pleasant surprise has been their performance in rainy weather. The tires channel water effectively, reducing the feeling of hydroplaning and maintaining good road contact during heavy downpours. This has made daily commuting much less stressful when conditions are less than ideal.

Despite being performance-oriented tires, ride comfort has remained quite reasonable. Road noise is present but not excessive, and the tires absorb minor road imperfections better than I expected. Long highway drives remain comfortable, while still delivering the sporty characteristics that make driving enjoyable.

Durability has also been satisfactory. After several months of regular use, the tread wear appears even, and the tires continue to perform consistently. Proper rotation and maintenance have helped maximize their lifespan while preserving their handling characteristics.

Overall, my experience with Bridgestone Potenza tires has been extremely positive. They offer an excellent balance of grip, steering precision, wet-weather confidence, and everyday usability. For drivers looking to enhance their vehicle's handling without sacrificing practicality, these tires are a strong choice and have made every drive more enjoyable.

Had no issues with them currently in WA from Brisbane traveling performed well.

I’ve been using the Bridgestone Turanza tires for several months now, and they have been one of the most comfortable touring tires I’ve owned. Most… Read more

of my driving consists of daily commuting, highway travel, and occasional weekend road trips, and the Turanza has performed consistently well in all of those situations.

The first thing I noticed after installing them was how quiet the ride became. Road noise was significantly reduced compared to my previous tires, making long highway drives much more relaxing. The tires absorb small bumps and imperfections in the road very well, giving the car a smooth and refined feel.

Wet-weather performance has also been impressive. During heavy rain, the tires maintained solid grip and stability, and I never felt uncomfortable driving at highway speeds. Steering response is predictable and confidence-inspiring, which is exactly what I want from a touring tire.

Another positive aspect has been tread wear. After thousands of miles, the tires still look great and have worn evenly. Fuel economy has remained consistent, and I haven't noticed any negative impact on efficiency.

While the Turanza is not designed as a high-performance sport tire, it strikes an excellent balance between comfort, handling, and durability. For drivers who prioritize a quiet ride, dependable traction, and long-term value, it is an outstanding choice.

Overall, my experience with the Bridgestone Turanza has been extremely positive. It delivers the comfort and reliability expected from a premium touring tire and has made everyday driving noticeably more enjoyable.

I bought this unit in January 2022 and had used it perhaps 20-30 times over the period up until now. Each time it worked well but eventually gave up… Read more

the ghost and ultimately wouldn't accept a charge (May 2026). I had also recently had to buy a replacement plug-in assembly (with the jumper clips), as this had pulled apart over time (this assembly clips together rather than being screwed together like a properly engineered item).

So is 4 years use for $159 (plus $25 for a new jump clip assembly) good value? You'll have to make up your own mind on that, but what really made me decide not to go ahead and buy a replacement Rooboost was the total lack of response from Rooboost Support to my email query about longevity, and the unit not accepting a charge (there's no support phone number so email is the only choice). It's also noticeable that any responses from Rooboost to disgruntled owners on productreview.com.au are essentially the same canned replies, that are probably just a cut and paste every time.

I had originally bought this unit on the recommendation of a friend who had bought one, interestingly his has failed as well. So Roobost seems to be yet more junk made overseas with zero support that will be going to landfill. Next time I will buy a quality unit, with appropriate and onshore support. I do a lot of classic car restoration and have genuine Australian made equipment such as a lathe, compressor, and other parts, that were made 60 years ago and you can still get parts and support for, unlike the rubbish that seems to be everywhere now.

By the way at least one reviewer on here said he had bought it because it was Australian made, clearly it's not as it says "Made in China" on the back of the unit. Also if you check Google reviews Rooboost have a 5 star rating, but only 24 reviews, so they obviously heavily curate their reviews there. From my perspective, Roobost is definitely not recommended.

The tyres are very good especially in the wet. Had them fitted to both my Atto3's and very satisfied. Fantastic installation service, very convenient getting it done at home. Highly recommended.

I have been using the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires for a while now, and they have genuinely exceeded my expectations. From the first drive, I noticed… Read more

a significant improvement in grip and steering response. The car felt more planted on the road, especially when taking corners at higher speeds. The steering became more precise, giving me greater confidence behind the wheel.

One of the biggest strengths of these tires is their performance in wet conditions. Driving in heavy rain used to make me a bit cautious, but the Pilot Sport 4 handles standing water and slippery roads remarkably well. The traction is impressive, and the tires provide a reassuring sense of control even during sudden braking or quick lane changes.

Comfort was another pleasant surprise. Despite being performance-oriented tires, they absorb road imperfections reasonably well and do not produce excessive road noise. Long highway trips remain comfortable, and the ride quality feels refined for a sporty tire.

The tread wear has also been respectable. After many miles of driving, the tires still perform consistently and show even wear patterns. Although they are not inexpensive, the quality and performance make the investment worthwhile.

The only downside is the price, as they are definitely premium tires and cost more than many competitors. Additionally, if you frequently drive on rough roads with potholes, you may hesitate because replacing them can be expensive.

Overall, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 strikes an excellent balance between performance, safety, and everyday comfort. They have made driving more enjoyable and have given me greater confidence in both dry and wet conditions. I would happily purchase them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a premium set of performance tires.

Not great with E85 – Doesnt seem to last long for the money spent . When fresh was a good oil, after a few kms engine noises popped up after engine was warm. Went back to penrite back to normal. Changing oil in the same intervals. Show details

Good Tyre, it went flat easy after a small stick hit the sidewall Show details

I purchased a set of Dynapro At2 xtreme LT 121 tyres (edit: in 2024), got them in a 4 for 3 deal for $1140 but since then have had to buy 2… Read more

replacements as well; on this day currently left with one good one, 1 burst, 2 cut tyres from the last trip I no longer trust (one replacement bought in Esperance in Jan 2026 only had 500km on it before getting deep side wall cuts). One is decent, so basically after 18 months and 5000km I need 4 new tyres before heading off on my next outback trip. So far total bill is $1140 + $440+$440

From the very beginning after fitment I was concerned about the amount of wallow and ballooning they had, certainly didn't seem like strong sidewalls, eg they seemed to squirm around in the city when turning left from an intersection, (my older tyres didn't do that and they weren't even LT tyres, just cheap "AT"s that were more of a highway spec). They also ballooned out at the bottom and looked flat @40psi, the previous older tyres my patrol came with looked normal at 38psi. Something is wrong here for an alleged "LT 121" tyre as sidewalls should be stiffer than that.

Of course there's likely thousands of customers that drive on highways, gravel, dirt or beaches happy with their Hankooks, but I bought these as an upgrade to take on serious rocky trails. I thought Hankook made a decent product and I trusted them.

But so far, 5000km, 4 punctures (mostly sidewall tears that then bust later after a tree root or rock impact.) While on the road the past I've replaced 2 due to sidewall bursts, meaning so far I've bought 6 of these tyres: 2 burst, 2 still on my vehicle with enough sidewall damage for me to never go off road with them in a rocky environment I often travel in again ( like south eastern WA where it's all dunes and rocks or even central WA where it's rocky sometimes too. These tyres get sidewall cuts at 21-26psi, and get regular tread punctures at 35psi.)

Blame terrain, pressures, my driving but I always carried 2 of the original fitted tyres (another brand), no punctures or sidewall damage with them and they are just cheap maxtreks - they always got me home on the same terrain without similar damage. I started driving in 1991 and only had one blow out in my life previously (2001 - old tyre on a beater car driving cross country), and only 3 slow punctures in my life as well - usually screws and teks on the road causing slow leaks. So the fact that I got so much tyre damage in the last 12 month period alone just with this tyre brand and model should ring massive alarm bells Too soft Do not behave like a stiff wall 'LT' at all. Seem worse than a cheap highway tyre model so it was $2000 total spent that was not an upgrade in any way, shape or form, only one good tyre left, currently needing 4 new ones. I can't even email the company with pictures and videos because they don't publish an email address

Excellent service and communication. Very easy to deal with and prompt.

If you like fart-arsing, and fiddling around, trying to get every last bit of the shade brackets into place, then having to do it a couple of times...then undo the contraption and fold it all up to get it back in its cover, well...this is the one for you. After using it a number of times, I chucked it in the bin and went back to using my $6 job that I bought 12 years ago!

I was surprised it worked better than expected, worth the money

Used penrite hpr30 for years in my 1990s corolla. A few months ago I bought a bottle of the new formula oil. Noticed the bottle was different with a… Read more

different lid and also a new foil deal under the cap. When I broke the seal I noticed that the oil didn't have the usual smell. Did the oil change and immediately noticed that the engine wasn't revving as freely. Checked the dipstick and noticed that the oil was very sticky which seemed odd. Found out later from shop I bought it from that penrite hpr30 has a new formula for high mileage engines. Seems to me like it's just full of cheap butt stop-smoke now. Hilariously it used more oil than the previous old formula oil. Was considering dropping penrite altogether but found 15/50 penrite synthetic on special so gave it a try. Surprisingly very happy, engine not burning a drop of oil now.

After using Michelin LTX tires on my car for quite some time, I can honestly say they have been one of the best sets of tires I have owned. I spend a… Read more

lot of time driving in different conditions, including city traffic, highways, and occasional rainy weather, so I wanted a tire that could handle everything comfortably.

The first thing I noticed was how quiet these tires are. Road noise was significantly reduced compared to my previous tires, making long drives much more enjoyable. Highway trips became less tiring because the cabin stayed noticeably calmer and smoother.

Ride comfort has also been excellent. The Michelin LTX absorbs bumps and rough pavement very well, and the car feels composed even on less-than-perfect roads. The steering remains stable, and the tires inspire confidence during lane changes and highway cruising.

Wet-weather performance has been another strong point. During heavy rain, the tires maintained good grip and resisted hydroplaning better than I expected. Braking distances felt short, and the vehicle remained predictable, which added a lot of confidence when driving in poor weather.

One of the biggest reasons I chose the Michelin LTX was its reputation for longevity, and so far it has lived up to that expectation. The tread wear has been very even, and despite putting many miles on them, they still look and perform impressively well. Knowing that the tires are likely to last for years makes the higher purchase price easier to justify.

The only downside is that Michelin LTX tires are not inexpensive. They cost more than many competing options, and the initial investment can feel significant. If someone mainly drives short distances and rarely travels, cheaper alternatives may seem more appealing.

Overall, the Michelin LTX has been an outstanding choice for my car. The combination of comfort, quietness, dependable wet traction, and long tread life has made every drive more pleasant. Although they cost more upfront, the quality and durability make them feel like money well spent, and I would gladly buy another set when the time comes.

Great tyres, already driven around in a range of different weather conditions and they've maintained grip and stability without issue.

Since I spend most of my time driving on city streets and highways, I wanted a tire that prioritized comfort, quietness, and dependable year-round performance without sacrificing handling. These tires have delivered exactly that.

One of the first things I noticed after installing them was how smooth and quiet the ride became. Road noise is significantly reduced compared to my previous tires, making long highway trips much more enjoyable. Even after several hours behind the wheel, the drive feels comfortable and less tiring thanks to the tire's refined ride quality.

The dry-road performance has been consistently impressive. Steering feels responsive, and the vehicle remains stable when changing lanes or taking highway curves. Wet weather performance has also exceeded my expectations. The tires maintain excellent grip during heavy rain, and I've never experienced any unsettling hydroplaning, even when driving through standing water at highway speeds.

Another aspect I've appreciated is the fuel efficiency. While it's difficult to measure the exact improvement, I did notice a slight increase in my average fuel economy after switching to these tires. It seems the low rolling resistance design genuinely contributes to more efficient driving, especially on longer trips.

The tread has worn evenly over thousands of miles, which suggests they're built with longevity in mind. Regular tire rotations have helped maximize their lifespan, and they still provide confident traction despite plenty of daily use. They also perform surprisingly well in light snow and cold weather. Although I wouldn't rely on them for severe winter conditions, they provide enough grip to handle occasional winter driving safely.

Overall, I've been extremely satisfied with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tires. They combine comfort, quiet operation, reliable wet-weather traction, respectable fuel efficiency, and solid durability into one well-rounded package. For anyone looking for dependable all-season tires for a crossover or SUV that spends most of its time on paved roads, I would gladly recommend them based on my experience.

driver. I was looking for a tire that offered good fuel efficiency without sacrificing comfort or safety, and these have exceeded my expectations in several areas.

The first thing I noticed was how smooth the ride became. The tires absorb small bumps and imperfections in the road remarkably well, making everyday commuting much more comfortable. They're also surprisingly quiet, especially on highways, where road noise is minimal. Long drives have become much more relaxing because I don't have to deal with constant tire hum.

One of the main reasons I chose the Ecopia EP100 was its reputation for improving fuel economy. While the improvement wasn't dramatic, I did notice my car consuming slightly less fuel during my weekly commute. Over time, those small savings have added up, especially with the amount of driving I do each month.

Performance on dry roads has been excellent. The steering feels predictable, and the tires provide plenty of grip during normal driving. They inspire confidence when taking corners or making quick lane changes without feeling overly sporty or harsh. Wet weather performance has also been reassuring. Even during heavy rain, the tires maintain solid traction and handle standing water well, giving me confidence when conditions aren't ideal.

The tread has worn evenly thanks to regular rotations, and the tires still look to have plenty of life left after thousands of miles. I appreciate that Bridgestone designed these tires to balance longevity with efficiency, making them a practical investment rather than just a short-term solution.

Overall, I've been very happy with the Bridgestone Ecopia EP100. They offer an excellent combination of ride comfort, quiet operation, dependable all-season performance, and noticeable fuel efficiency. For anyone who spends a lot of time commuting or driving on highways and wants reliable tires that help reduce fuel consumption while maintaining everyday comfort and safety, I would happily recommend them based on my experience.

Huge Rip Off - Same thing sells elsewhere for under $10 delivered ! Misleading claims too! – As the heading says you can buy the genuine Angel View for under $10 including delivery from Temu and AliExpress. You pay more on eBay and Amazon but… Read more

not $59.95. And Yes! exactly the same Angle View rear view mirror. And there are better ones available for around $5 delivered. Just Google "angle view". So dont fall for Global Shop Direct's hype of getting two for the price of one. They still end up costing you $35 each. Now for my feedback on the performance and claims The advertsing is misleading and deceptive! You do not get the unobstructed view they show in the advert because your face gets in the way of the rear right hand view. So you only get the extended view on the left hand side. Also due to the over-sized height of the mirror in may get jammed up against the ceiling and so cannot be adjusted properly which can be a major issue for some cars or people. If you want to try this type of wide angle mirror out, then I suggest you get the wide rectangular one that sells for about $5.50 delivered on Temu. If you have been sold by Global Shop Direct's marketing hype then buy the genuine Angle View for around $10 on either AliExpress or Temu. BIG HINT: Everything Global Shop Direct markets on TV can also be purchased for a fraction of the price on Temu and AliExpress. Even on eBay.

It’s a shame they’re discontinued as would definitely purchase them again.

I decided to fit a set of J-Trax A/T tyres after looking for something that could comfortably handle both daily driving and occasional trips onto… Read more

gravel roads and light off-road tracks. After spending several months with them, I've been pleasantly surprised by how well they've performed for their price.

On regular roads, the tyres feel stable and predictable. Steering response is reassuring, and highway driving is comfortable with only a slight increase in road noise compared to standard highway tyres. The ride quality has remained smooth, even on rougher pavement, and the tyres absorb bumps better than I expected for an all-terrain design.

Where the J-Trax A/T tyres really impressed me was on loose gravel and dirt roads. They provide noticeably better traction than highway tyres, giving me more confidence when driving through muddy patches or uneven terrain. I haven't tackled any extreme off-roading, but for camping trips, forest tracks, and rural roads, they've handled everything without any issues.

Wet-weather performance has generally been good as long as I drive sensibly. Grip during braking and cornering has been consistent, although like many all-terrain tyres, they require a little extra caution in heavy rain. Tread wear has also been encouraging so far, and after several thousand kilometres they still look to have plenty of life remaining.

Overall, I think the J-Trax A/T tyres offer excellent value for money. They strike a nice balance between everyday comfort and off-road capability, making them a great choice for drivers who spend most of their time on the road but occasionally venture onto dirt or gravel. While premium all-terrain tyres may offer better performance in more demanding conditions, these have exceeded my expectations and have proven to be a reliable, practical set of tyres for mixed-use driving.
