    Got kontio whitepaw on my Chevy, they look good and seems to be good quality, but there is a big thing I dont like about them, the threads got so much siping they would probably work good as unstudded wintertires, the problem is when you drive on gravelroads they collect enormous amounts of pebbles, and when you reach higway and pickup some speed they flies out.
    On my Buick with Firestones i dont have a single pebble after driving the same road

    Cooper trendsetter SE. If you want a pinner white, they have them. Dirt cheap, I put the white in, wouldn't look right. IMG20240512112119.jpg

    Im thinking about buying the kontio vintage bias look radials, but im wondering if they really look like an authentic bias ply tire once they are mounted. Anyone have any close up pics? Also, does anyone know the thread width for the 6.00r16?
