215/55 18 Tire Review Highlights

Bridgestone Turanza EL440 rated 66% while driving a Mazda CX30
Driving on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
This tire came with my 2023 Mazda CX 30. The tire has precise steering specially on dry roads. It can take turns around corner with minimal understeer and easily steer car back in a straight line with ease. However, on wet driving, there is a slight increase in understeer and have to let off the accelerator to minimize understeer around corners. Noise is more noticeable when speed is increased on highway driving and a noticeable humming on smooth asphalt road and more grumbling on a slight rough road surface. Hydroplaning is noticeable at speed of 50 mph on a rain downpour as the rear end with slight fishtailing. Bump are felt harshly even on shallow plate holes on the road and was concern that it may damage the tire sidewall but luckily did not have that problem. So, try to avoid potholes, even shallow ones, as there is a higher risk of tire puncture. I cannot comment on how it handles in cold, snowy weather as I live in sunny Florida. The tires has seen 11,000 miles on it and have notices also that there is an increased in road noise. Apparently as tire aged, more road noise is present. Will I repurchase this tire again? Most likely not. There are better tires with much better performance, less road noise, comfortable ride and better treadwear.

Nankang Cross Seasons AW6 rated 81% while driving a Skoda Superb MK3 (2015 Present)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
Overall a good tire all around. Low noise compared to my previous falken summer tires. Lower feedback from front tires at low speeds. Good at high speed on highways. Exceptional in wet conditions and lower temperatures. No signs of higher fuel consumption. Braking is good in wet and dry conditions. Can take some spirited driving in corners which suprises me. Not the best in everything but it does fairly okay everywhere. Overall a good tire for its price and i feel confident. I recommend

Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2 SUV rated 81% while driving a Mazda CX30
Driving on a combination of roads for 26000 easy going miles
An all-season tire with overall good performance on all condition except propably summer dry braking which without being moderate, it could perform better. It wears quickly, if not quicker than other all season tires surely a lot quicker than summer tires. The tread after 40K has a lot of chips at least in Greece climate. In this diameter I would consider Yokohama Geolandar CV 4S which seems more durable

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 rated 90% while driving a Renault Unknown
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
These tires are simply amazing. Have had the Michelin CC2 before and was quite disappointed in them, though being the test winner on most tests. These conti's however exceeded my expectations by quite alot. Excellent grip in dry and wet, in warm and cold weather. Not tested in the snow yet, but I am sure they will not disappoint. Being all season I was afraid it might kill a bit of the driving fun, but it proved to be a real Conti, which means good road feedback, fun to drive, giving reassurance in all conditions. It rather feels like a summer tire. As for comfort, very surprised! Was a bit hesitant knowing conti is more dynamical than comfortable, but the tires turn out to be VERY quiet, also comfort is good, it has some firmness but is very capable to filter out bumps in the road. Further more wear is very very good on these and also fuel economy is amazing, better than the Kuhmo summer tires the car came with. You really can't go wrong with these tires of you can't choose.

Accelera Iota ST68 rated 84% while driving a Nissan Qashqai
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
I have had these tires on my car for 3 years,covering almost 18,000 miles. The rears are practically still new the fronts have about 3 mm left on them.
Living and driving in central Scotland we have a lot of rain, and these tires have never let me down in some challenging conditions including snow.
Just starting to feel the front not as grippy as they have been. I will be looking to replace them within the next 1000/2000 miles,i can honestly say these tires haven't let me down in Dry and Wet.

Bridgestone Turanza T005 rated 74% while driving a Mazda CX30
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 easy going miles
Very good longevity as I hit 60k km and tires looks nearly new, good rolling resistance, very good dry handling, only decent wet performance but keep in mind very low aquaplaning capabilities. With cold weather in wet conditions they become nearly dangerous, so not the ideal tire for winter. I would not buy them again as comfort is poor, car feels too rigid, on non perfect tarmac they are simply noisy.

Hifly HP801 rated 20% while driving a Toyota 2006 Avalon
Driving on a combination of roads for 600 average miles
I started to feel like the wheels needed balancing. When rear tire was removed there was a huge bulge in the middle of the tread due to a separation inside the tire. I was told it was a defect in manufacturing. They have only done a few hundred miles. Time to change

Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125 rated 87% while driving a Mazda CX 3
Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 spirited miles
Purchased a front set on my mazda cx-3 about 2 years ago, have done 22,000 miles and still on 3.5 mm and cant feel any difference in quality. Driven over a mix of motorway. Country and city roads. Would definitely purchase again as was only £35 per tire more then budgets and lasted twice as long

Michelin Primacy 4 rated 49% while driving a Peugeot e 2008
Driving on a combination of roads for 13000 easy going miles
I've had these tires on from new and honestly, I'm not that impressed. Both me and my wife have the same car, except hers came on Goodyear Efficenct Grip Performance and mine came with the Primacy 4's. They handle perfectly in dry weather but in the wet, they feel very squirmy and unsettled. I've frequently provoked wheelspin on junctions and during acceleration on roundabouts in wet weather. They are also wearing poorly, at 13,600 miles, they have 2mm of tread left on the front and 3mm at the rear. The Goodyears on my wife's have 21,000 miles on them, and are at 2mm. The Michelins also ride much harder than the Goodyears and are louder too. Overall they are just about okay, but I wouldn't pick them over the Goodyear or Pirelli equivalents, especially when they are considerably more expensive.

Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 average miles
Compared to Michelin they are "OK".. Not sth fancy. Cornering is good , braking is medium but comfort and economy is bad. In an suv I can feel every road imperfection. Bad performance when it's cold.
