215/45 17 Tire Review Highlights

Uniroyal RainSport 5 rated 67% while driving a Alfa Romeo 147
Driving on mostly country roads for 20000 average miles
I had always Continental sport contact in my alfa romeo 147, when Continental stopped to produce sport size 215/45/17, I chose uniroyal rainsport 5 as a fast alternative, uniroyal are good tires, beautiful, but i lost my handling, braking, the grip, always comparing to contisports, for daily and normal driving, I really enjoy uniroyal, but my next tires will be michelin pilot sport 5 or good year assymetric 6.

Sailun Atrezzo ZSR rated 63% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa D
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I have a bit mixed impression relating to Sailun ZSR tires. They offer surprisingly good grip on dry tarmac, even if cornering hard, but can be inconsistent on wet roads, especially on smooth tarmac. They are acceptably noisy. Rolling resistance can be noticed at petrol station. But still within acceptance. It could be a cheap and good tire, unfortunately high wear level is pulling down overall impression because 20k miles does not impress at all - near legal limit already. But to be honest, I have seen worse results at much higher price. Would I buy these again? I would consider for just rolling wheels for sure, but not for the pulling wheels.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 rated 93% while driving a Alfa Romeo 147
Driving on a combination of roads for 21000 average miles
This tire is amazing. Dry and wet grip is superb. Driving at heavy rain 160km/h is like being on train tracks. Understeer, oversteer... Never heard of that.

Dunlop All Season 2 rated 74% while driving a MINI Cooper SE
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
Great value tire, was expecting better with wet grip and aquaplaning. Good in dry but not so great in wet/damp roads, likes to understeer, Need to see what they are like in snow and ice!

Falken Azenis FK520 rated 83% while driving a Mazda MX5 2.0 SE (ND 2015 onwards)
Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 spirited miles
First season on my MX-5 ND. Dry grip is pretty good, comparable to the Michelin PS5 I am using on my other car. Wet grip is not bad, but there is room for improvement. It's easy to control the car. My overall experience is very good. Wear is really good on this light roadster. Will buy them again.

Davanti Protoura Sport rated 80% while driving a Suzuki swift sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
Vehicle: 2013 Suzuki Swift Sport
Tire Size: 215/45R17
Mods: Rear Anti Sway Bar, Front Strut stabilizer Bar...stock otherwise


Tire noise:

this was a big concern for me as my little princess and wife would be a norm in this car being a daily/weekend warrior, assured by the guys above I stated to myself I'd put it to the test as most new tires are silent and so I did and was honestly astonished at how quiet the tire was after all the scrubbing and use over the past 2 months. It even had my wife asking if her tires were always that loud (Bridgestone RE760 bought same time as mine).

Dry performance:

I have to say with all the power my little swift has (134hp

Falken Azenis FK520 rated 83% while driving a Mazda MX5
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I replaced the Pirelli P-Zeros that came on my car with these after I had the rear end step out at very low speed on a wet roundabout with the Pirellis.

Straight away I felt more confident in wet conditions. The MX-5 being a light, rear wheel drive car, I don't go too crazy when there's standing water but I was at least comfortable to drive in bad conditions compared to the old Pirellis.

In the dry my feelings were similar. I could throw the car into corners without so much as a squeak from the tires. Everything feels very assured.

I primarily daily drive the car but I took it to a track day and they held up remarkably well. The car would bite down into corners and you could feel a natural drop off in grip as you nearest the limit. At that point the tires had already done about 18,000 miles and after the partly melted tread had come unstuck, it seems that they have a lot more life left to give!

Falken Azenis FK460 AS rated 99% while driving a Toyota 2022 GR86
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
I'm very happy with these tires.
Looking at the performance specs compared to others, and from my own experience with them, I believe these tires have been underrated by consumer reviews.

Nexen N Blue HD Plus rated 66% while driving a SEAT Ibiza FR V 1.5 TSI EVO2
Driving on mostly motorways for 18650 average miles
When they were new they had a very decent behavior. Now that they are a little more than their useful life, on wet terrain, they tend to slide relatively easily, which means I don't have confidence in them.
