Tyre reviews Arivo Ultra ARZ5. Page 2 185

Hello everyone, I've purchased these tires in size R19 245/45. I chose them based on reviews and had high hopes that everything would be fine. Unfortunately, I was unlucky. The tires vibrate strongly at high speeds, are very difficult to balance, I've had them balanced 4 times and there are constant discrepancies... In general, I've bought new tires from well-known European brands, and everything is tolerable now.

We've driven 5000 km on these tires, both on the highway and in the city. They are comfortable, quite quiet, audible at speeds over 110 km/h. I haven't noticed any wear. We had Michelin tires before these, there's no difference.

There were doubts when buying, but the result exceeded expectations! Bought summer asymmetric tires for BMW 5, not regretting it at all. With a 45 profile, there is almost no noise, they hold the road, and are moderately soft. I definitely recommend buying!

I didn't drive on the tires for long - 3 weeks after purchase, I put the car in the garage, since I have a convertible.
But I can note the advantages of the tire:
- This is the quietest tire I've had (in the past, I drove on both Wideway and Nokian Hakka Blue, but Arivo is the quietest, despite the fact that it's a convertible).
- Softness. The tire glides, softly handles potholes, but at the same time, it can't be called wobbly, it holds turns very well.
I haven't found any drawbacks yet. I'm already recommending it to my friends!

A bit harder, and slightly worse at holding the road when accelerating, compared to Dunlop. But apparently, it's still new. Because with mileage, I start to notice that the characteristics are getting better.

I purchased a set of 225/55/18 in the spring of 2022. Over 3 years and more than 45,000 miles of driving on various surfaces (asphalt, dirt, rural roads), the tires have performed exceptionally well. Not once have I experienced aquaplaning at speeds of 100-120 km/h. They are quiet and soft, despite having reinforced sidewalls (not a single blister so far, although I have driven over some significant potholes). The tread looks like new. I'm satisfied with the purchase and will consider buying again in the future.

Car W220 S500. I bought a set of different widths 245/45R18+275/40R18. At the time of purchase, in December 2022, this was the cheapest tire in these sizes, the set cost 21,000.
Naturally, for this money, you shouldn't expect any quality from it, just a regular civilian tire. It balances poorly, "sits" on the disk, after which it requires rebalancing. In turns, it slips off the trajectory, squeals, bends, is very soft, and in the front, I had to pump 2.5 to get some kind of response. Aquaplaning is poor, when driving into puddles at 100-130 km/h, the stabilizer caught it, the reaction to the steering wheel at these moments is zero. After hitting a pothole, one of the front tires became a "screw", even though the disk remained perfectly even. Closer to the end of the season, the rear tires also started to bend. It becomes very hard at temperatures below 10°, making it uncomfortable to drive.
In general, the tire is suitable for slow driving in the city and on the highway on low-power cars, or as a cheap consumable for drifting - it's not a pity, although at the time of writing this review, the tire has already risen in price and the 275/40 size costs 8,020 per piece.
Before this, I drove on Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 3 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 and Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117. Even a hard and old Goodyear is much more pleasant than a new Chinese one. If you want to drive fast, take a good tire from any well-known brand. If you want to skimp and drive slowly, take any Chinese tire, it will all be the same.

The tires are soft (I have R18), very sensitive to temperature changes - the pressure jumps by 0,2-0,4 kg/cm when the temperature changes by 5-9 degrees Celsius. However, if the leading global manufacturers' tires are not fundamentally affected by this in terms of driving quality, these tires start to handle worse at "low" pressure (although the pressure is within the normal range by the lower limit). Also, this tire has affected increased fuel consumption - apparently high rolling resistance. I recommend driving on them at increased pressure, then the fuel consumption is more or less normal.

I bought Arivo Ultra ARZ5 245/45 ZR18 100W XL as a replacement for the worn-out original Michelin PS4 on my Tesla. Of course, the car lost some handling, and there's a bit more noise, but it's not critical. When starting, it sometimes slips slightly, the tire is quite heavy, but I also didn't buy the right size. In the rain, the car never hydroplaned - that's a definite plus. Balancing was easy. In conclusion, I'm satisfied with the purchase, it's worth every penny, 100%.

I balanced them twice and still have a residual vibration in the 90-110 range, otherwise the tires are good, speed, rain, noise, wear are all OK. Would I buy them again? Yes, I would buy them again.
