Tiger Paw Touring A/S

Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Motivo 365

Pros

  • Smooth and quiet ride quality on both city streets and highways
  • Exceptional wet and dry traction with strong grip in rain
  • Reliable performance in light-to-moderate snow and winter weather

Cons

  • Some users reported sidewall vulnerability or blowouts from minor potholes
  • Temporary flat-spotting when parked for a few days that clears up after driving
  • May feel inadequate or sketchy in heavy winter conditions like deep snow in northern climates
All owner themes in the Motivo 365 review

Tire B Tiger Paw Touring A/S

Pros

  • Strong value for money: reviewers repeatedly describe it as a 'best bang for the buck' option, with a price well below major brands and, in some cases, performance described as close to a Michelin Defender.
  • Long, even tread life: owners report 50,000 to 68,000 miles, even wear and minimal wear after 10,000 miles, with one citing a 75,000-mile tire.
  • Quiet, smooth and comfortable ride: many describe the tire as quiet, smooth and comfortable, including at highway speeds, and some say it matches Michelin or higher-tier Yokohama tires for ride, noise and handling.

Cons

  • Road noise and a rough or firm ride: several reviewers call the tire loud or harsh, and others note it is less quiet and smooth than Vredestein Qualtrac or Continental DWS06 tires.
  • Wet-weather concerns for some owners: one reviewer reports constant slipping over road striping and poor wet cornering, and another notes slight hydroplaning in heavy rain.
  • Tread life below expectations for some: one owner expects 35–40k miles instead of the advertised 65k, and another reports that tread life in this size doesn't approach the rated figure.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
