These looks like 50k driven . The tread is down too...

[Sarkaar]

Nope, i have seen more 10 cars with varying mileage. Even 7500 km driven 2021 unregistered car showing some decay in the form of chipped off tyre. Many people complained about it as well in sportage Facebook group.

I verified it from dealership and they admitted that there has been complaints and people have done offroading on it which this tyre cannot withstand.

I got Kumho solus hs63 now, more than satisfied with them, however time will tell their robustness.

[Sarkaar]

Also no other thing suggest that car ran 50k or more, from plastic parts to undercarriage stickers, door stiffness etc. Tyre burst events are real and i fear they will be repeated by oct once vacation season is over and when people share their stories.

I think k ab itni jaldi revision nhi aati, in June/July maybe, but not right now as already April 18th ko to last price increase implement hue hai... But again, Pakistani auto market mein ap kuch predict nhi kr skty, maybe aa bi jae...

[Oblivion]

I cant believe price has increased ten folds since November 2021 and no signs of stopping seeing our devaluation, you did the right thing paid in full and took delivery

[Oblivion]

how much did your existing tyres go for?

[Oblivion]

Yes i have kept the tyre replacement expense in mind and they wont be cheap

[Oblivion]

You will enjoy the drive, whatever people say that it's design is old i love how practical and spacious it is and very very comfortable

Welcome Puddle lights in both front door handles are there Brah!

Bro those are welcome lights, not puddle lights. Puddle lights are under the side view mirrors. Tucson has BOTH features, Sportage only has one

[Sarkaar]

just 1k.. 2 of them were in better condition but i don't have space to carry them, also this size doesn't have resale. They are sold as scrap.

[Sarkaar]

What tyre pressure are you guys maintaining in sportage? 35 is recommended but it make ride stiff and bumpy on unpaved roads.

[Oblivion]

35 at my end

[Oblivion]

damn thats bad news!! how much did the yokos cost per tyre?

[Sarkaar]

I got kumho solus hs63 for 22k each. Yokohamas were not less than 30k per tyre at that time.

[hassan3344]

Your reason for changing tyres was road noise, reliability or something else?

[Sarkaar]

I bought it used, 20k driven, tires were chipped off from many places.

[waleed80]

35 but ride is perfect. Try Tucson first and then you will never complain about Sportage

[waleed80]

I checked over the weekend. Stock tyres are 28k per tyre

[Sarkaar]

I was getting crugen for 23.5k per tyre from same person but i cannot trust them now.. solus is coming as oem in jolio and relatively established product compared to crugen.

[xuhaibkhan1]

33 psi.

To me 35 looks a little extra.
