225/45 16 Tire Review Highlights

Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1 rated 37% while driving a Nissan Qashqai
Driving on mostly town for 1000 average miles
The first time we had some spring rain I couldn't believe the tires felt like they were drifting. It was very disconcerting going around a round-a-bout as I felt the tires slide out from under me. I slowed down on the next turn and it happened again. I guess if I drove at 20kph it may have felt safer. So no I went out and bought new tires after having these tires for only 8 weeks. Costly learning experience.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 rated 80% while driving a Land Rover Freelander 2
Driving on mostly country roads for 20000 spirited miles
Bought a full set of these tires for my Freelander 2 based on test results. They suit the car well - the outstanding grip is in the wet, which is arguably the quality you need for maximum safety , with great wet braking. They are also quiet. Only downside for me is wear rate - I estimate 23k-24k but being ex-motorsport, I drive quite quickly and tend to throw the heavy Freelander 2 about on twisty roads . Good news is they seem to have come down a little in price...

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons rated 68% while driving a Citroën C3 Aircross SUV
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 easy going miles
Definitely softer rubber as so far I've had two punctures on otherwise new tires which has been really annoying. Yes, could just have been bad luck, but they are definitely of a softer rubber Braking distance is slightly longer, when compared to my previous Bridgstone summer tires. Only slightly but it is noticeable. More of a forward lunge into a stop, rather than a precise gripped stop. This purely depends on the weather. Dry summer months I'd prefer to be on summer tryre for sure.....but for autumn and winter then I'll stick with these. Road handling is okay and acceptable, just slightly more rolley on the corner. Road noise is increased at higher motorway speeds.

GT Radial SportActive rated 37% while driving a Fiat 500 Abarth
Driving on a combination of roads for 4500 spirited miles
Hi,so had these tires put on my Abarth595 and in the wet they 'let go',over large drain covers at town speeds.The road was damp/wet and i use the road often it was a little worrying.Cornering was OK but if you push them you can feel there about to steer you into a hedge.In the dry i think there ok but wet conditions make the car nervous.Wouldn't recommend for any sporty car,there cheap and should last a while but i want to replace them as just not good in the wet.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance rated 67% while driving a Volkswagen Golf
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
This tires were great before it started raining. Even at 20mph I'm losing control on roundabouts when it's damp, absolutely lethal. They're only a few months old and still have practically full tread. I've never struggled at such low speeds on damp roundabouts and turns, it's scary going to replace soon which is a shame as I've not had long and they were £100 a tire.

Linglong Green Max HP010 rated 70% while driving a Skoda Unknown
Driving on mostly motorways for 22000 average miles
The tires have run 34000km in a year. No problem for this year, but now it is time to change it. Very good performance in dry surface, descent in wet surface. Cost 225euros for 4 of there is fair enough. No problem at fast driving (160km/hr) for 2-3 hours. Over 20min to catch temprature.

Michelin Pilot Sport rated 69% while driving a Honda S2000
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 spirited miles
I bought the tires two years ago, I did 15,000 miles with them and they can do more. The thing I liked most about these tires was the feedback with the 2 ply side wall, Above 50 km they make noise. Above 25 degrees you grip a little better than a Pilot Sport 4. And below 10 degrees on a wet road a very, very dangerous tire !. The tire costs about twice as much as the Pilot 4 pilot but He is no twice as good. P. S tirereviews The best tires site !
