If you ordered them, it is a bit late to ask for opinions, don't you think?  Anyway, let us know how they work. |

Havn't seen those before Gary. You will have to let us know how they perform. |

Well I certainly don't wish you bad luck with them, at the same time, I hope they're a league above the continental 4x4 contact tires that come stock on honda CRV's the 4x4 contact's are the biggest.. over priced.. pieces of.. .... .. Rubber.. I've ever seen in my life they're almost 180/ea for the stock crv size tire, and I've never actually heard anyone ever get more than 30k out of them, they were loud, ride like Lincoln log.. and after about 15k were as loud as my Mastercraft Courser M/T's that had about 50k on them, after 15k they started chunking and losing dime sized pieces of tread from the center of the tires and migrating outward, by 25k they were a blowout hazard I've had another set of continentals back in the day on my grandmothers granada, they too lasted about 4 years ~ 12k miles before coming apart Every time I've replaced the continentals with a Dunlop of half the continentals price and been four times as happy the crv got dunlop signature cs' and it's quite a happy AWD-Dorky thing but again, I hope this isn't what occurs for yours, but I figured I'd say something so that you could keep an eye out, if you see them start chunking file a big complaint and demand replacement and use the CRV stock tire's as your basis, it's a widely known issue with a similar continental tire |

The only proper real world review i have found is from an another forum in europe, the guy is running 235/70/16 in them, hes over the moon with them stating that , snow, highway wet / dry , off road conditions these tyres are very very good, most of his driving is gravel roads . he has done 28k miles on them so far with hardly no signs of cutting , buldges or tread wear. these tyres must be quite new as there are hardly any real world reviews on them, was hoping someone on here had a set on, i had KL71 Khumos (265/70/17) on my 06 Nissan Navara (Frontier) and loved em but theres no size for stock height on the jeep.  i took the plunge and went for them after that guys write up tbh Best regards Gary

Well the tread pattern is quite a bit different than the contact 4x4's, they remind me of a kumho or something along that line that i've looked at that had good reviews, I hope the best for them for you! I know pulling tire sizes can be a pain ! |
