Starfire Solarus AS All-Season 185/65R14 86H Tire

I have always run private label or branded tire as they are referred to in tire jargon. Reading the reviews it was kind of a no brainier to give them a try. I had never heard of the branded tire name before but I have to say I'm very pleased with the performance of the tires the very first day I had the installed it poured all day exceptional hard ! hard ! rain will lots of puddling on the interstate I was traveling on. I drove from north east Pennsylvania to South West Pennsylvania and it was a constant steady to hard rain all the way. Being that they were brand new tires and I had no prior experience with the tires I was a bit apprehensive of them in such heavy rain. After the first 50 miles or so I gained confidence in there ability in the rain I had zero hydroplaneling exceptional braking in the very wet conditions. The came winter and we had our first snow storm with 8+ inches and the tires performance was exceptional excellent traction and the cleaned out good with the packed snow in the tread . I never put my vehicle in four wheel drive and I climbed some pretty steep hills get to our house just our driveway alone is a challenge to get up and the tires had zero issues making it up the hills and our driveway and the vehicle was only in rear wheel drive mode. Not a challenge for the tires. Now for the downside they are a bit noiser on the dry roads than my old tires and the are a bit rougher riding than my old tires but neither would stop me from buying the over and over again which I have done not only on my SUV but now on my 4x4 ,1 ton pick up truck but also on my daughters SUV and so far ever vehicle has performed flawlessly in all types of weather conditions. As for tire wear that's to be seen but I know have almost 15k miles on my SUV which is the first vehicle I had these tires installed on and I don't see any signs of wear especially on the front tire with vehicles with four wheel drive the front tire started to cup because of the steering and I see zerocupping and I'm going to be very honest I have never rotated the tiresOn the SUV yet and again I see zero wear a zero cupping. I should be embarrassed to admit I've not rotated the tires which I always do for even wear but this is a good test for the tires. My brother in law has just ordered the tires for him Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 and he's never owned private label or branded tires he has this mental block using them. But I guess I've made him believer with the excellent performance of these tires so far..

These are very nice tires. I am on my 3rd set on my 2015 Buick Lacrosse. After 25+ years of high end Michelin's I haven's seen a difference in performance when switched to Starfire. These Starfire Tires offer the performance and quietness I demand and are use to in the higher end brands. This is a find. Highly recommend.

***Confirmed fit for 2008 Toyota Sienna 225 60R17 size***These arrived just on time, the day I was informed they would be. Sticker label on the tires for delivery address, NO POLY BAGS or anything else to protect them. I had at least expected that.1 had internal thread imperfection on it, (see photo #4) but I was advised at the garage that it happens with lesser quality mass produced tires, he had seen it in the past. He cleared it off before installing them, said it was only surface related. Lets hope so.All 4 seemed good otherwise, besides scuffing and scratches.I was able to get these on sale, thankfully, I needed all four to pass inspection and with an old vehicle at 260k miles, I was not going a more expensive route, so the price point was great.The last 2 photos show them on the van, they are very nice and ride extremely well, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm glad I chose them, and will update my review with their performance as this is the first time in my entire life I purchased tires online, sight unseen.

These are excellent tires, I find them to be great in the Winter Season. Nice traction in the snow.

Great tire for the price. It feels stable and has good traction both in the city and on the highway. The ride is comfortable and road noise is fairly low. So far, I’m very happy with the purchase and would definitely consider buying it again. Great value for the money.
