215/55 17 Tire Review Highlights

Accelera PHI rated 77% while driving a Toyota 2017 Geely Emgrand GT
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 average miles
Recently fitted 4 of these tires and these are incredibly quiet, above average grip in wet and dry (we had a short spell of rain recently and the car was perfectly stable). These replaced a set of Continental's i had on previously and I'd say the Accelera's are a bargain for what you get.

Bridgestone Weather Control A005 rated 66% while driving a Suzuki Vitara 2015>
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 easy going miles
Bought these tires as wanted something more robust to resist stone punctures that I was getting regularly with Conti Ecocontact 6s. Solved the puncture issue and they have better grip in the wet than the Contis, but the wear is terrible. 8000 miles and they are on the legal limit, what the hell! That is pure winter trye territory tbh. Poor overall.

Hankook iON FlexClimate rated 97% while driving a Kia Motors Niro
Driving on a combination of roads for 4500 easy going miles
Replaces my Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires on my electric car.
Pro:
> The Hankooks have significantly more grip. Since installing them, I have never seen the traction control light on my dash pop up. Gives a lot of confidence driving in the worst of weathers, including snow.
>Significantly quiter. I tested with my iphone a drop of about 3-4db in the cabin on the same stretch of road compared to the vredestein.
Con:
>Range is 5-6%lower than what I was getting on the Vredestein.

Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1 rated 39% while driving a Mazda 3 SkyactiV
Driving on mostly town for 10000 easy going miles
Cracked tires before 10.000 kms. Normal use. Normal acceleration, normal braking , except some unexpected events.

Sumitomo BC100 rated 87% while driving a Toyota Avensis
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 miles
Having researched these tires before purchasing I seems sumitomo is one of the world’s major manufacturers owners of many of the top brands inc Goodyear ECT apparently highly regarded in Japan after one trip to Portugal and two to spain crossing France I can’t fault them would Definitely buy again.

Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 rated 90% while driving a Skoda Octavia
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 average miles
after reading reviews bought these to replace horrible factory fitted goodyear efficient grip which made a hollow, humming ringing noise on most road surfaces. What a transformation. The Octavia is now as quiet as the previous passat I traded in. They are also wearing well (about 1mm per 9000km ) so I hope they keep making these as I'm not risking any other brand while I own this car !

Michelin CrossClimate Plus rated 13% while driving a Chevrolet 2015 chev Cruze diesel
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
the fitment of 215/55 17 is for my 2015 Chev Cruze diesel (purchased new ). This vehicle came with Firestone tires ( l forget what model they were) and they without a doubt the worst tires l have ever experienced, not only in traction and ride comfort but they had a slight flat spot which l could not rectify as a result of which a swapped them out for Goodyear tripletred assurance tires. The Goodyears were fine but l never really fell in love with them and when l saw the Michelin cross-climate l had to try them. All l can say is yes they are expensive but nothing even comes close and the Cruze feels like a different vehicle, to say the least bravo Michelin.........gri

Driving on mostly town for 0 miles
Dry in 160kmh is good
Wet in 130kmh is good as well
Handling not bad, but previously with toyo proxes did provide me better handling

Nexen N Blue 4 Season rated 87% while driving a Suzuki SX4 Scross 1.4T Boosterjet
Driving on mostly town for 0 average miles
Great tires for the price/quality ratio. Quiet and comfortable. The car is predictable in dry and wet handling. I have no experience with them on snow. If they do well this first winter for them, I will buy them again. Version XL.

Debica Navigator 3 rated 75% while driving a Fiat 500X
Driving on mostly town for 1000 easy going miles
when getting through winter, i have chaged 18" rims with 225/45 bridgestone t005s to 17" 215/55 navigator3s. t005s were new, bought the fiat 500x hybrid recently. it is a very noisy, harsh but sure footed 1000 km experience. With debicas, i hear almost no rolling noise, battery charges faster, pothole comfort is there ( not forgetting 18 to 17" effect ). Braking needs some reserve with navigator3s on dry for sure, there is a strange feeling of lack of bite at the end of breaking pressure, obviously, comfort has a trade-off. With wet and snow experience, i will update here

Dunlop Sport All Season rated 81% while driving a Suzuki Vitara 1.4 GLX Mild Hybrid AllGrip
Driving on mostly motorways for 44000 spirited miles
After 70.000 Km with these tires, the time has come for them to be replaced. Mostly driven on motorways. Very good tires, very steady performance, without any unpleasant surprises until the end of their life. For sure they have become much harder, but this is natural. The grip on dry is very good. The wet performance also very good. On ice they performed better than expected, although I use all season tires for the first time.
