225/50 R18 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate 3
rated 88%
Purchased for winter use in Northern Italy, a region where winter temperatures range from -5°C to 10°C, sometimes even within a short period of time: this is the reason I decided not to use winter tires this time, but all-seasons coming from summer tires for the rest of the year. I fitted them in mid-October, and on dry road they surprised me incredibly, as they seem to be quieter than the Primacy 5s; the feedback is obviously a bit softer. Even driving in the Alps at -10°C during the Christmas period, I didn't notice any difference in road feedback.
In winter use, they struggled a bit when driving once on the highway in a heavy snowfall, requiring a lot of steering effort to maintain a straight line and counteract skidding, but objectively, it was a matter of driving at 90 km/h in 3-4 cm of snow, and it was me trying to get ot the limit.
Finally, when parking on compact ice and snow at sub-zero temperatures, they didn't give me the same feeling of grip that I used to have with the Kleber Krisalp: the wheel slipped at times, but then again, this is an extreme comparison between an all-season tire and a dedicated winter tire.

Writing about the Dunlop Sp Sport Maxx 050
rated 44%
Have this tire fitted on my Toyota MPV that's not sold in Europe. It has roughly 30,000 km now, or around 18,600 miles. The front tires have maybe 10% tread left, the rear maybe 30%. I rotated the tires at 10,000 km, so they would've worn out earlier otherwise. It's unacceptable. The ride is harsh, the noise is almost unbearable, and the grip in the wet is not great. It's decent in the dry, and high speed stability is fine, so it's not all bad I guess. I don't get why Toyota in my country decided it's a good idea to fit UHP summer tires on a hybrid, 7-seater MVP. The car is about comfort and efficiency, not performance. But even for performance cars, I wouldn't recommend these tires.

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT
rated 60%
Came on my Lexus UX F Sport. I am getting rid of them due to noise on some/many road surfaces. This is my first car with run flats and I don't think they have it right just yet as you definitely have a harsh ride, lack of feedback, far to much noise, to the point that you cant have a conversation at times as it is worse than opening all the windows at high speed. I shout less on my motorcycle. I have adjustable suspension and the car comes with reinforced alloys to handle the impact of RF's side walls being like fork lift truck tires.
I am going for All season XL tires.

Writing about the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2
rated 70%
I drive 50K year throughout WI & MN. 30 days ago, after 80K miles, all 4 Weather Ready Gen 1's were replaced with a set of Weather Ready 2's. The Gen 1's averaged 26 mpg throughout the entire 80K. The Weather Ready 2's are averaging 22mpg. That doesn't sound like much, but it's almost 100 miles per tank. At $2.75 gal it's roughly $100.00/month. I can't detect any measurable difference between the Gen1 and 2's other than the mpg. My only regret is not researching more thoroughly. I believe I could have found tires with equal performance without losing $100.00/month.

Writing about the Nokian WR Snowproof
rated 89%
Smooth running characteristics and, compared to the Apollo, similar mileage – 30,000 km on the driven front axle until the 3 mm tread depth was reached – is an astonishing figure.

*this is for the RT45, but that's not an option on the site.
These are the worst tires I've ever had. They're SO loud--went from RFs, which everyone complains are so loud, to these, and these are 5x as loud. The road feedback is terrible, I can't feel where I am and it feels like the car is hydroplaning all over the place in dry weather, especially at highway speeds. They're better in snow than they are on dry pavement, which sounds insane, and they're still not that good. I live in a place that gets a good amount of snow, which I told the salesman, and they swore by these tires. Never again. If you go over 55mph, it rains where you live, or it's ever icy where you are, just save yourself the trouble and buy something else.

I've had these tires for a little over a year now. I've put maybe 30k miles on a tire with a 65k warranty in a small SUV and the fronts are already worn down to about 2mm and almost killed me in icy conditions the other day. I wanted different run flats--as these have worn down, the noise increases, but I didn't find them a harsh ride, especially coming off pirellis. I'm probably not going to buy these again, though their grip lasted a long time.

Writing about the Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 2
rated 73%
Overall good braking-, decent acceleration- & not avarage/below avarage lateral grip.
Tire looses grip with little to no warning. Overall feedback is quite low.
Now fitted for 4th winter, would last longer but realisticly 3 to 4 winters use is maximum with decent performance.

Writing about the Davanti Protoura Sport
rated 74%
Good tires for the price. I drive fast on winding roads. The tire is better than I expected. It is quiet at higher speeds 130-160 km/h. The steering response is good, there is not much tire flex in the curves on the road. The ride is precise at high speeds. I may not be an expert, but even though I drive fast, it has not let me down so far. It has its limits, like any tire, but when you discover them, you can trust it. My car is with all-wheel drive, so maybe my experience does not apply to everyone. I have had them on my car for the second summer season and I notice a difference due to age, it is slowly losing traction. It still looks good, the tire depth is good. I think it will last another season. I have to pay attention to the transition from dry to wet roads, in the first moments it is very unpleasant, the tire loses contact with the road. After a short time it returns to normal, but you have to be careful on wet roads. Most people won't mind, but drivers who like to drive fast in the rain should know that this tire is not for that. To summarize/ good price-quality ratio, it can compete with expensive tires.
