Thread: Kelly Explorer Tires

Kelly tires are crap in a circle that fits your wheel. had 4 of them relatively new when I bought my GTP in Oct. 2012 and the didn't even last 20,000 on the rear, I'm a bit of an enthusiastic driver but I don't tear them up intentionally. my "Normal" driving with a set of GY assurance lasted over 60,xxx miles, by far my favorite

Wow, 20,000 miles in one year. You must do a lot of driving. They are only a 40,000 mile tire. I am just looking for a good, basic all season tire. Again, the car only gets 7500 miles a year tops.

If I have 2 slow leakers at $25 per repair and the new tires mounted with stems, disposal, and balancing at around $90 each the Kelly's don't seam too bad.

I am at 4/32 now headed into a MN winter, so if I get new tires it won't snow and if I wait it out we will have record snow. With no snow I could get by till next fall.

What do you guys think?
