Sorry guys, i just bought a set of tires for my lexus rc 350, they’re Australian tires brand, Ovation “Vi-388 Performance DSRT”
Can anyone tell are these tires All-season or Summer ?
the internet says they’re Summer tires but the guy says they’re All-season ? Please advise thanks.
Not being nitpicky by any means but why would you buy tires without actually knowing what you're getting? Tires are essential for ANY automobile, and factoring in rain, snow, etc is super important....just curious why you chose what you did?
Congratulations on new rubber though, new tire days are always good days.
If you're in a pinch, or penny pinching, get these and be ready to buy a new set in two seasons... And they're loud. I replaced with Conti's DWS and its a huge difference.
My Camry chewed these up on IS-F wheels in ~2yrs.
For a performance/luxury car, an appropriate set of 4 tires (e.g.: Michelin Pilot Sport) will cost you something in the range of a thousand dollars (USD, or about $1,300.00 Canadian).
The photo shows a tread pattern that does not appear too aggressive to me (or to Lex2k), so I agree that you should not expect good performance in the snow. (You say you live in Canada?) Also, drift racing would require, I would think, a slippery tire, which is the opposite of what you want in a winter tire for use in a snowy area.
If you have AWD (you live in Canada, right?), then you might get by, but you will still have problems on ice and problems stopping. Let us know in the Spring how things went with this setup.
Some of us have some money down on your response.
