I have a 19 Ford Ranger with LX tires, size 265  60 R18 T. After approximately 5 k miles, I noticed the tires started to feel vague, particularly during wet cornering, which affected my driving confidence. However, they have worn evenly, with about 50% life remaining after 20 k miles.

Nissan X-Trail, size 225/65R17, for around 15000 miles. Initially, they were decent, but they quickly became a nightmare in wet conditions. These tires hydroplane on even the shallowest water, making rainy days quite scary. The tread wore down quickly, and I had to replace them sooner than expected. I switched to Michelin Primacy SUV+ tires, and the difference is night and day. The Continentals were just not reliable or safe in my experience.
