215/45 17 Tire Review Highlights

Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus rated 80% while driving a Subaru BRZ
Driving on a combination of roads for 250 spirited miles
After 4 years and 33,000 km the excellent Quatrac Pro have hardened and are very close to the legal limit for an AS (4mm). Time and wear have made them wagging, still valid in the wet and very reactive in the dry, but on snow they would have been nothing short of a gamble.

And since I will be going to Germany again in January with the brz and the Quatrac Pro were not available, I recently mounted the Quatrac Pro+ (215/45/17 91Y XL B/C utqg400/A/A).

The Q.Pro+ have a softer carcass and sidewall, are less reactive, have a different compound more oriented to wet/snow and also require more running-in (at least 500 km).

The always very nice design remains unchanged with an appreciable footprint of the tread and the characteristic wide central rib.

At first I optimistically thought I could mount the Q.Pro+ only on the rear, leaving the old Q.Pro on the front which with a generous 5mm could have done another 10,000 km. But all the differences mentioned above are overall so important that, in the few days I rode with the new ones only on the rear, at every minimal change of direction I could perceive a clear oversteer combined with an appreciable lateral instability of the rear (cobblestone sensation, so to speak), practically disappeared, net of the remaining wax to dispose of, once the new ones were mounted on the front as well. I didn't think that the lack of homogeneity between the two axles could be so problematic. It was basically like having a summer tire on the front and a winter tire on the rear with the consequences of the case.

I will do a full review around 5000 km.

Toyo Proxes TR1 rated 54% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa D
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 spirited miles
I ran two of these on one end and michelin PS5s on the other end. Night and day difference. The toyos would fold quite easily under 30psi, i ran mine at around 33psi, they wouldnt grip the same as the PS5s. I experimented putting the toyos on the front and the car understeered. I put them on the back and the car oversteered. So i learnt my lesson not to cheap out on tires. In conclusion, these tires and okay but not for your spirited drivers. Hope this helps

Landsail LS588 UHP rated 83% while driving a Skoda Rapid TSI
Driving on a combination of roads for 21000 spirited miles
Purchased these mainly because of the price. I needed 2 new tires and these were priced well. I had used Landsail LS388 on a previous car and they were pretty good. The 588 however weren't as good for pulling away, they gave a fair amount of slip under acceleration. Having now driven 21000 miles on them and needing to replace. I won't be buying them again mainly because of that slippage as I didn't have confidence in pulling away and partly because I'm now is a position to afford Premium Tires and have opted for Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 2's. Other than that they handled everything I threw at them. Summer, winter, wet, dry, ice, snow with the appropriate driving they were fine. They have lasted 2 and a half years (21000 Miles) not a bad tire by any means and if budget is a concern then you can't really go wrong.

Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 rated 70% while driving a Mazda MX5 2.0 Manual
Driving on a combination of roads for 1200 spirited miles
A mixed bag these ones. I'll start with the positives:

Survived two mixed weather track days. Although conditions meant pushing hard was never an option, most road tires show some shoulder wear in track conditions, but these held up well. In Cold / Greasy conditions, they clearly performed better than the same car on semi-slicks and the handling was predictable, consistent and controllable. Oversteer was progressive and correctable.

Next, in very very very heavy rain conditions on the motorway (and I mean, can't even see the car in front kinda wet), they performed very well. Very little if any aquaplaning, resistance to it was good. Felt calm and steady over standing water and in damp conditions it felt like the tire was keyed into the road.

Lastly, country road driving in damp / changeable conditoins, also excellent, very reliable grip, even when pressing on.

So what about the downsides... well, theres a few:

1) very odd steering characteristics off centre and on / off throttle. The car changes direction slightly on and off throttle, a behaviour I've only seen when tires were different brands, or one was hugely over / under inflated. It suggests that all four tires may not be perfectly the same dimensionally. It lends an oddly floaty feeling just off centre when driving on roads.

2) very very very firm. For a road tire, the carcass stiffness is significant. These are actually about as stiff as a set of Nankang AR1 track tires, and significantly harder than the likes of a classic P zero. For a road tire this makes it quite uncomfortable. It certainly feels "sporty" but over all but perfect roads, its quite uncomfortable.

3) I have no data yet on how these will perform under hard driving in dry conditions, so will need to report back once I've had a chance to do so.

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.
2.2021 - 10.2024., 34000 km with 3.5 mm left

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.
