22" tyres

OK so the time has come for new tyres (285/35/22 106y) on the SQ7, got 13,000 miles out of the original set. Anyway, I cannot find the Hankook Ventus anywhere in the UK! Even Audi are quoting a two month lead time. Been recommended Toyo Proxes ST which I'm reluctant to go for as I have always (maybe stupidly) bought the same tyres that the car came out the factory with OR bought premium tyres (Pirelli, Continental etc.)? Anyone any experience with these tyres? Charging around in a > 2 tonne car with a fair bit of grunt, I want to have confidence in the tyre..

TIA
Scott

They’ll be grippy but definitely won’t last 13000!

I have purchased from Pneus Online several times, great service. Take your delivered tyres to local tyre centre to fit, I found National Tyre refused to fit tyres not sold by them, however ATS were fine.

i have continental extremecontact dws on my Q7 (285/35/22). I've had them on for about 3000 miles with no issues.

Cheers folks...I have plumped for the Toyos this time based on the ratings, check this out --> http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Search/Size/285-35-22

They are the top rated tyre in this size with 88%, breaking it down they get 91% wear rating compared to 67% wear rating on the Hankooks. Dogzdinner - have you had a bad experience with the Toyos?

Hello Scott,

I am using Continental Sportcontact6 with my 22s on Q7 and not happy with it. The consumption of these tyres is higher than its rivals and it is noisy

No bad experience with the Toyo's at all, my experience of Toyo's and Pirelli's in general is that they are just a softer compound compared to other manufacturers which makes for great grip but less hardwearing. I'm sure you will find them great!
I have Hankooks on my 22's but have only done 1500 miles or so so far so have no opinion on them apart from they do have a fantastic protection lip on them to 'help' prevent curbing!

Yeah the Contis get an overall score of 82% on the review link I posted above, compared with the Toyos at 88%, interestingly the Contis only score 56% for wear!

Cheers mate...yeah the wheel protector on the Hankooks is good but Mrs Gyro still managed to ding the front nearside wheel! Anyway, will be interesting to see how the Toyos compare to the Hankooks. They get fitted tonight and I'm driving from Edinburgh to Carlisle tomorrow so hopefully they will get a good try out.
