225/55 18 Tire Review Highlights
Falken Ziex ZE001 AS rated 52% while driving a Subaru XV Crosstrek
Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
I don't know why Subaru put this on their Canada bound Crosstreks. There are much better tires available at this price point. Especially considering how pour they are in the snow. I would not recommend them anywhere where it falls below 0 C. They are not at all good in the snow and slush, I have used all season tires that performed much better than these. Even after 15 000 km I am noticing that these tires are wearing fast.

it was cheap and affordable. in first sight i didnt have to much expectations. But i like that tire, because it didnt wear at all. If you re a family driver not formula 1, it will totaly make you satisfied.
Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 rated 89% while driving a Peugeot 3008 1,5 Diesel
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
These Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 tires were on the car (2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6 Diesel) when I bought it 18 months ago and they were put on by the garage when the car was put up for sale. I didn't recognise the brand so I thought I would soon be changing them as they were obviously budget tires. However, I couldn't have been more wrong. They were comfortable, quiet and I really had no problem with grip either in the wet or dry. They also seemed to cope well in standing water. I've now done 18000 miles and I reckon I'll just about get another 2000 miles from them. I would like to get a bit more than 20000 miles from tires as I'm not a boy racer anymore, but the fact that they only cost just over half the price of a decent premium tire I'll be going for them again very shortly.
Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 rated 95% while driving a Honda ZR V SPORT e:HEV

Amazing tires. Absolute champions in the wet, great handling in the dry, sporty feel. Matched up with an FWD SUV vehicle you will not have any problems. One thing of note, they are less sporty in the dry than the original summer tires.
Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport rated 40% while driving a Jeep compass

Now i have 26000 kilometer on tires, and i can say the tires are damaged by exploitation. I won't buy again! lot of noise too!
Falken Ziex ZE001 AS rated 67% while driving a Subaru Forester 2.5i

These where the OEM types on my forester. Not bad overall, one 13k miles so far. I don’t expect them to last my dealer says about 20k… will see. Also, haven’t used them in snow yet but I don’t have a high expectation. If they wear as expected, I will have a new set by the time we have snow here in Idaho.
Yokohama BluEarth E70 rated 41% while driving a Mitsubishi Outlander
Driving on a combination of roads for 50000 average miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 50000 average miles
This tire was already on our Outlander PHEV S-Edition (2018) when we bought the car.
They were fitted from the factory from Mitsubishi , as it might sounds nice: Japanese Car and Japanese Tire Manufactor.
The tires are not really bad or so, but they are just harsh and noisy , not and you feel a lot of the roads.
This is have the feeling Japanese people like better then we (Europeans) do.
I don`t want to feel everything on the road especially not in a SUV / Family car.
The tires have done 50.000km now and 4mm treaddepth left.
I can`t wait to have them off, and when i see the other reviews here I guess a different tire will transformate our Outlander back into a new smooth riding vehicle with a lot of comfort.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 rated 94% while driving a SEAT Ateca Xcellence

Great tire, low noise and great comfort vs the Turanza T005's it replaced. so far I have only done just over 2000 miles on them but really happy with the performance of them. its nice to have the confidence in cold weather and wet weather, they are a little worse in the dry but everything is a trade off.
Even though I went up in size on the side wall, I have not seen an increase in fuel consumption, most likely due to the lighter weight of the tire itself

Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2 rated 52% while driving a Peugeot 3008

these were OEM tires came with my 2018 peugeot 3008 allure 1.6 blue hdie eat6. I have used them for 6 years for now. I had great handling and good braking performance on dry smooth roads even on high speeds but on the other hand they were really harsh and uncomfortable on rough roads even on low speed. They were NOT labelled as M+S. And I would not recommend these tires on snow as the handling is very poor on snow. Once I suddenly looped going with 30 miles straight on snowy highway while the other cars had no trouble going on the same road. So I stopped and pulled back. Luckily I didn't had an accident. Now I have purchased Continental premium contact7 for summer and I am going to buy new winter tires for the next winter.
General Grabber HTS60 rated 100% while driving a Subaru 06 B9 Tribeca

These have been great tires and have lasted over 63k miles and are finally starting to get a bit hard and showing some cracks. I am about to put on my 3rd set so obviously I think they are great. I can't speak to snow because we change out to studded tires for winter.
Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO rated 62% while driving a Jeep Cherokee Limited 2015
Driving on a combination of roads for 17 average miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 17 average miles
Four EVOs were fitted in October 2021, and the wheels aligned. Initially, the tires were very good, especially when combined with the Jeep Active Drive I 4x4 system. Very stable, comfortable, and quiet in all UK weather conditions, with no grip problems in the snow and ice, and no significant changes in previous fuel performance.
The tires were rotated twice throughout their life, and the 4 wheels aligned again in early 2023. The tires were worn to 3 mm by 17,000 miles (27,358 km). By this point there was notable slippage on the front tires when turning at slow speeds, especially in wetter conditions and overall, the tires did not feel as planted on the road as they once were.
With low confidence in their grip ability at 3 mm, they were replaced with CC2s in December 2023. Hopefully, the longevity of the CC2s will be significantly better than the disappointing EVO’s.
