Starfire Solarus HT All-Season 235/70R16 106T Tire

The front tires were excellent. I bought two front tires because I was unsure about the quality and wanted to test them. I purchased them in August 2024, and now it’s April 2026. After about a year and a half, I’ve driven around 18,000 miles on them, and the tread depth went from 10.5 down to about 7. I’m planning to buy two more soon because the rear tires are wearing unevenly. The Michelin tires in the back are showing uneven wear, likely because the car needs alignment, especially on the right rear side. Honestly, I didn’t notice much difference between expensive and mid-range tires — they all seem to wear out around the same time.

After 100 miles these drive great on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Great traction, very stable despite the seemingly soft side walls. Quiet and smooth ride, but still has a deep tread pattern that I believe will work well in rain, snow, mud, and sand relative to other all-season type tires. It looks good on my vehicle and I like the tread pattern. The active tread pattern may be slightly less wide than some other tires - but marginally so. Update after 5000 miles: Could not be happier with these tires! I have a RWD Grand Cherokee and live in the NC Sandhills. With my previous M&S AS tires I kept getting stuck in the sand everywhere I went off road - and my tires were new. I bought these because I needed a good highway tire, but I really wanted something with a deeper cross tread groove to help off road in the powder sand where I live. This was the only tire I could find that seemed to do that. The tires are flat out awesome in the sand and will exceed your expectations. On the highway at 70 mph you hear more noise than a more traditional all season tire, but you have to turn off all noise makers to hear it and you cannot hear it with a window cracked - if traction is important, you will not care about the noise. I get 5-8% better fuel mileage with this tire than what I was getting with more conventional AS tires which is surprising. I do not know why I get better fuel mileage, but I am getting better gas mileage for a fact. Maybe the rubber on this tire is very hard. I do not use the vehicle in a way that dry traction on asphalt would matter to me. Update After 15000 miles: Tires still look almost new with very little tread wear. Most other tires I have used would show wear on the outside edges by now, but on these it is practically undetectable. I am still 100% happy with this tire in everyway. Rides excellent on highway, durability seems very good, and very good traction off-road. I have not used it in snow.

I have a truck that has some issues and may need to be replaced within the next few years. I had these installed and am very pleased so far. They should wear well I assume. They ride sure and comfortable. . They are as attractive as tires can get If I get 40,000 I’ll be happy with the durability. Update 3/30/2024. I find that I may have lost a few MPG and I typically do as its now a tire that travels a greater distance because it has more diameter . They are quiet and wear well. Sure they have a bit of rubber loose here and there so I took a moment and trimmed it off. They balance well and are round drive straight. Are they a 250.00 tire? Nope Mavis tire installed these for a fair price perfect zero issues. Would I buy them again you ask? Yes 9/6/2024 update still like the tires. No issues whatsoever. Wearing well. 6/8/2025 Update I was looking at my tires today and notices a 6"long crack in the tread. rehaps a defect? then i saw metal wire sticking out of the side of the tire. I pulled these 3 wires out of the tire. Wait... What How does this happen? I will watch the tires and report back. I mean the appear ok outher than those 2 issues nice and smooth. Wearing well still. I have never seen this before on any tire. Like a wire brush wire. No kidding...

Installed four of these back in November of 2022 put about just over 30000 miles on these tires with some fairly aggressive driving. For the money these are a great purchase and as an Auto technician I can safely say that these tires balance perfectly with very little weight and no hard spots on the road force balance which is a telltale sign that these are quality tires It is now November of 2024, and the tread is now just above the wear bars, as long as your vehicle is properly aligned these tires should wear at a normal rate however I will say and I think other reviews have mentioned it that these tires don't come with a very deep tread to begin compared to what you would get with goodyear tires for example. They are missing at least an extra 4/32nds, overall, a solid purchase

Great set of tires they ride smooth and are quiet
