The jury is far from unanimous about Stelvios. I have given up on them because after 6 tires, they always failed before the tire wore out. That's not a reflection that they wear well, it's a reflection that they are fragile. That suppleness comes at a price. The most common failure was the cord would separate, leaving me with an 'S' shaped center strip. The longest I ever had a Stelvio before it failed was about 2000 miles, the shortest was about 300 miles.
