205/65 16 Tire Review Highlights

Sentury Sentury Touring rated 94% while driving a Hyundai Sonata 2017
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 easy going miles
dollar per dollar...as good as it gets. on my 2015 sonata and very pleased. it looks really nice also. says made in Indonesia on sidewall. I've Neve had a lower priced tire that is so sweet. as long as these are made that are a must for all my cars, and I have 4 of them. tune out the tire snobs and their bias. these are excellent.

Falken Linam VAN01 rated 88% while driving a Vauxhall Vivaro
Driving on mostly country roads for 100 spirited miles
Confidence inspiring tires.
Covered over 100 miles on them in mostly wet conditions.
The old tires with approx 3mm tread were always spinning on roundabouts when accelerating from stationary.
Conversely these tires are sticking to the roads well, I have had only 1 small spin on the left tire. Considering the state of the road surface and my acceleration, this is acceptable.
Compared with other vans, I have found the Vivaro to be quick to spin front tires and sometimes under steer.
Therefore it is good to have tires which are grippy and responsive for a reasonable price.
Can’t comment on road noise/mpg - it’s a van so it is noisy and seems to average 33mpg whatever.
I would definitely buy this tire again.

General Eurovan Winter 2 rated 51% while driving a Nissan Primastar
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 average miles
These tires look good and grip fairly well in all conditions but that's where the positives end. They wear out quite quickly and I've had one so badly out of shape it's like a rugby ball, causing extremely bad vibrations (I've never seen anything like it) only 18months old. At this price point and with the 'General' name I expected far more; in all honesty you'd be better with a budget. The side walls are like cheese, they split and are cut by the passing air, they are hard as concrete, providing little road feedback or comfort. In short spend your money elsewhere

Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 rated 84% while driving a Toyota Camry
Driving on a combination of roads for 2500 average miles
WS90 work much better than Michelin CrossClimate2s in below -10°C weather and on hard ice. The CC2s are excellent on snow. WS90s allow decent acceleration on a front-two wheel drive camry. There is a small amount of slip on initial acceleration on ice. I found them better than my previous Michelin Xi2s for handling and braking dry and wet. They also cost less than Michelin X-ice tires. But, have not had them long enough (bought mid-Jan 2022) to know how well they will wear. Overall, a great tire for extreme cold -35°C and icy roads in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. P.S. check your report of Consumer Reports test. Their test says braking in wet conditions is fair not handling which is good in their test. You stated that Consumer Reports said that handling is below average. Not so.

BFGoodrich Advantage TA Sport rated 67% while driving a Kia Motors Optima
Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 spirited miles
To preface, I drive my car hard and love taking backroads. This tire has a surprising amount of cornering grip and imparts a nice firm feeling into steering wheel. These tires egg you on to put more power in the corners to a point but they don't lose control. On center feel is a bit vague but steering is very responsive. Comfortable ride even if tire noise is a little louder than I'd want it. Very good handling and around town performance in dry conditions. Surprisingly these tires allow a 1500 kg FWD car to rotate into turns ever so slightly. In the wet, the experience falls apart some. Wet traction is just not that good. Accelerating from a stop or turning and accelerating from a stop when there's even the thinnest layer of rain water on the road is difficult. My engine makes peak torque from a low RPM (1750 RPM) so I've learned to baby the throttle in those situations. Too often do they cause the traction control lights to flash. They caused the car to terminally understeer on a highway exit ramp after a horrible rainstorm and I noticed it hydroplaned slowly when I was going across an intersection. Luckily no one was around or else I would've slowly drifted into the adjacent lane and might have caused an accident. Very slow and very steady is the way to go in the wet with these. Braking performance isn't great but it isn't bad. It gets a bit worse in the rain. Overall, for the price, these tires are very good in the dry but if you need something that's confidence inspiring in the wet, make sure you do your research on all the available options.

Got my Wanli Tires 205/65R16 for my Innova here in Metro Manila! Best china budget tire ever! Been using them ever since so I can honestly attest to their good quality! Since our road conditions in the Philippines are not so good, Wanli Tires are always my go-to affordable and recommended tires for all our cars! Best tire for Innova and more! More power!

Verry good on dry and wet road but wear is huge. 35.000km and they have just a 1mm of profile. I switched rims rear to front and front back so i could made to 35000km.
