215/50 17 Tire Review Highlights

Kleber Quadraxer 3 rated 53% while driving a Opel astra j 1.6 turbo
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I really don't understand why so many reviews say that the grip and handling on dry and wet is good with these tires. In the tire test there is only one that shows the reality (2023 Auto Zeitung All Season Tire Test).
I was the biggest fan of KLEBER Quadraxer 2. I had 4 sets. 2 on a corsa D and 2 on my astra j with life span of 45 - 55.000km for each set. You could screech those tires as much as you like, they wouldn't let go! Fabulous! Until I bought Quadraxer 3 :(. First twisted road I got the chance (10 degrees Celsius outside when Quadraxer 2 excelled) I felt like on winter tires on a summer day, it was absolutely scary! I understand that they probably wanted better handling in snow but I think they went overboard. Sorry but sadly I'm leaving the Quadraxer fan club. It was a really good run!

Debica Presto UHP2 rated 81% while driving a Honda Civic EX 1.6 VTEC
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 spirited miles
Great performance even while worn out, done over 50,000 tire is doing a very good job with aggressive driving and high speed >190 km/h, would definitely buy again.

Bridgestone Turanza 6 rated 92% while driving a MG ZS
Driving on mostly town for 0 average miles
I got these tires a year ago replacing a terrible Korean brand (can't remember the name) the car came with and it was a night and day difference. I took the car out for a spirited drive immediately after I left the tire shop and felt a sense of happiness I have never felt driving that car before. Wear seems good, I only do a little finger check every couple months and it doesn't seem to be too crazy like people mentioned. Noise is quiet and it's also pretty comfortable. But it should be mentioned again that I came from some pretty terrible tires so anything would be better.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 rated 86% while driving a Hyundai i40 sedan
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
I've previously used Michelin Cross Climate (in original, + and 2 variants). I've had these Contis for two months and I find them to be quieter and more "controllable" in dry and in wet / greasy conditions, than the Michelins.

The comfort of these Contis, for 215/50/17, is supreme - on par with my wife's Hankook Kinergy 4S; and those are deeper profile, on an AWD crossover.

I heartily recommend these Contis for UK's wet/greasy and dry conditions, all seasons.

Davanti DX640 rated 41% while driving a Ford Focus
Driving on for 0 miles
Tire needed replacing after a few thousand miles, never again. And they're no cheaper than much more trust worthy brands. Support useless if not rude

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE004 rated 84% while driving a Honda Civic 1.5T
Driving on mostly country roads for 34000 average miles
Original tire is conti MC5 which is very noisy. After replace with RE004, road noise below at speed 80km/h have greatly reduced and a lot more comfortable. Enjoy every corner with these tires . On the wet road , although it can handle the condition in a ok manner, but the feedback in wet is abit soft will feel like lack of confident. Overall is a very good tires for daily drive to minor spirit drive.

Dunlop SP Sport LM 705 rated 87% while driving a Ford Focus MK3
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 average miles
This is my second review
After a year summer/winter
These are pretty good tires good in all aspects
Very comfortable and robust for bad roads & potholes .
These are not performance tire but touring so do not expect UHP.
As miles pileup will show how will last and be.
Until now satisfied with them.
Made in Japan is one of strong points because in market most tires are outscored its common now.

Continental PremiumContact C rated 53% while driving a MG mg4
Driving on mostly town for 15000 easy going miles
The PremiumContact-C model was the factory wheel for my 2023 electric MG4. I would never recommend it for rear-wheel drive and electric vehicles. It slips very easily and the abs is activated everytime. It does not give confidence even at low speeds on wet surfaces. When you try to take off quickly, it skids immediately.

Continental EcoContact 6 rated 51% while driving a Ford Focus Zetec
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 easy going miles
These were factory fit on a Ford Focus Wagon 1.0 155hp from 2022. They last only 40.000km. I had 3 tire punctures during two years. Really not a good tire in the wet.

Sailun Atrezzo 4 Seasons rated 75% while driving a MG 6
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 easy going miles
Bought these tires as a replacement for a set of Falken AS 210 tires which have been used for 41000km. I bought these tires in the Edition "Pro EV" as they were specialised for electric cars and therefore can carry heavier loads.

I pumped them up to 3.2 bar, as this is my usual usage on this car. The tires are quiet, rolling resistance is quite a bit lower (apporx. 1 kwh/100km). Which brings me about 5% more range. Hard breaking under wet and dry circumstances lead to an intervention of the ABS. As these tires seem to loose contact to the road. Also quick maneuvers easily lead to screaming tires.

To be true i knew that i can have either a low rolling resistance or a short breaking distance as both values are mutually exclusive to each other. So i bought these tires with this information in mind. In my opinion these are typical "nothing special tires" with a quality to "middle, or brink to lower class tires".

They were quite cheap, approx. 60% of the Falken AS210 and therefore i am happy with them. I knew that there are better tires, but surely not at the same price.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 rated 93% while driving a Ford Focus MK3
Driving on a combination of roads for 50000 average miles
This tires last a lot. I had them for 85.000km and still going strong and I did not rotate them.
From time to time I had to check the alignment and that's it.
The originals Michelin Primacy Hp were very bad and they had to go after 85.000 km and after rotating them. at around 60.000km.
The last 20.000 were a pain.
Highly recommend them.

Triangle SeasonX TA01 rated 89% while driving a Opel Astra J 1.4 turbo
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
I've used these tires for about 3.000 kilometers. I've used them in hot summer(37+ C), cold weather (-15 C), on dry, wet roads, on snow and some ice. The grip was
verry good in all conditions. I have a normal style of driving and for that I can say that tire respond very well at all demand. I paid around 60 euros per tire which was
verry good price. I recommend!
