How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

The Runway ENDURO 916+ is a polarizing budget-tier tire that divides opinion sharply between extreme dissatisfaction and surprising satisfaction based on price. While a significant number of users report severe issues with excessive road noise, poor wet traction, and handling vagueness, others praise its high mileage longevity and acceptable dry performance relative to its low cost.
Pros
- Extremely budget-friendly purchase price
- Impressive tread wear and high mileage longevity for some drivers
- Adequate dry grip and handling under normal driving conditions
- Aggressive tread pattern that performs reasonably well in light snow and heavy rain for certain users
Cons
- Intense, droning road noise frequently mistaken for failing wheel bearings
- Significantly compromised wet weather grip and traction control activation
- Inconsistent manufacturing quality, with reports of sidewall failure, out-of-shape tread, and premature cracking
- Unpredictable handling and poor steering feedback, particularly on heavier or rear-wheel-drive vehicles
Worth knowing
- Rear-wheel-drive sports cars and sedans (such as BMWs and Toyota MR2s) frequently highlighted extreme traction issues in wet or cold conditions.
- Drivers using 17-inch sizes (such as 235/45R17 and 215/40R17) reported mixed experiences, ranging from excellent multi-year tread wear to severe noise complaints.
- Higher-torque vehicles easily overwhelmed the tire's wet grip, leading to frequent wheel spin and traction control intervention.
