Michelin Primacy 3 rated 83% while driving a BMW 745LI
Driving on mostly motorways for 50000 average miles
These tryes were the factory fitted types thus went with these for replacement, they have been fantastic, 5 and half years, and 80k kms roughly 50k miles, and they are down to 4.0mm left, so approaching change.

smooth, and the biggest one for me was quiet, and decent handling. The car is a 7 series, so not aiming for the sporty handling, needed it to be smooth and quiet over anything else.

Going to give the Primacy4 a go for the next change, but been extreamly happy with the Primacy 3's/

Duraturn Mozzo Sport rated 83% while driving a Infiniti Q70
Driving on mostly town for 17000 average miles
I bought a set of these, have found them absolutely fine. Both dry and wet grip have been perfectly acceptable, noise is low and wear rate fine. 17,000 miles and just about need replacement as down to 2mm to 3mm. Would definitely buy again, no noticeable difference from the Dunlop's that were fitted other than a third of the price!!

Hankook Kinergy 4S2 rated 82% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Fitted these to our family car a 2015 vw tiguan 4 motion, and they transformed the handling for the better really making the most for vws 4 motion system particularly in bad weather i.e rain/snow it never spun a wheel just gripped and got on with business which for me was piece of mind knowing my wife and kids were in safe hands what ever the weather, dry grip was also impressive as to was the tread life will certainly recommend.

Bridgestone Turanza T005 rated 67% while driving a BMW X3
Driving on a combination of roads for 14000 spirited miles
Had this on BMW X3. The grip is superb on dry and wet condition and brake distance was good only until 20K. It wears off too fast even my driving condition is 60/40 city drive. After 20K, the grip on wet is not as good, very noisy.

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT rated 82% while driving a Mercedes Benz GLA 250
Driving on a combination of roads for 700 average miles
Done the first 1000km on this set and it's much more comfortable and quiet ride compared to the Continental Contact 5 (RFT) that came with the Mercedes GLA 250 (managed to get ~50K kms out of them). Will be good to see the mileage of these Dunlops RFT.

Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 rated 0% while driving a Mercedes Benz GLA45
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
They do not feel as good as my previous set of WS80s. They are louder than the WS80s were and a but harder or rougher feel in dry condition. In cold rain and in ice and snow, they are exactly what is needed. Just disappointed in dry conditions compared to the WS80's I used previously.

Falken Azenis PT722 rated 66% while driving a BMW X3 3.0dA

Very durable economic tires. Comfortable but tough in dry days. Wet days can be dramma if you are not slowing down.

Dunlop SP WinterSport 4D rated 74% while driving a Mercedes Benz E350
Driving on mostly town for 3000 average miles
I got these tires as a package with the wheel. They are Mercedes OEM tire (MO) and unfortunately I got it with S Class W222 size, so for my W213 E350 petrol hybrid it was tight on the front part. There was almost no clearance with the arm. So word of advice, please get the 45 ratio if you want to put it on a W213. The wheel set is not staggered setup like the original AMG wheels from the car so all tires have same size. I have driven with these tires for around 3500 kilometres. One part of it was a journey from south Finland to Lapland at the northern part for ski holiday. I wasn't sure that the tires can keep up with Finnish winter because the temperature, snow and ice is really bad here and these tires are central European winter tires. So when I installed the tires it was already minus 3 to 7 Celsius on average daily, plus snow almost everyday. The road was slippery and yes during heavy snow it is not recommended to drive with this kind of tires. I have missed many red lights because of longer braking distance during snowfall. The tires also struggled to get a grip on snowy street especially when going around the roundabout or in a smaller street where the snow plough truck doesn't go there. When there is black ice on the intersection of course you can feel that the car is losing grip but it immediately gain it when the tires hit the road again. The feedback and handling during cold temperature on dry road is really good, I can feel where the car is going and I can tell the car to the direction that I want. Nevertheless during my 2500 kilometres trip to Lapland where the temperature reach -17 to -20 there and heavy snowfall on most cities, the tires performed really good. On dry road once in a while I hit 120-130 kmh in a safe empty stretch, I feel that the tires is gripping really well. There was one part during the journey where there was a freezing rain, the ground was wet and all the rain drop becomes ice that blocked your windshield, the tires were holding really good. I never felt that the car was about to skid or do something unpredictable. When there were some heavy rainfall the grip is still there and I can easily handle the car. For aquaplanning experience, there has been some times that the car lost the grip but still manageable even in higher speed (around 80-100 kmh). Also the noise level in the cabin it feels a bit high for my liking. I don't know if it is because the directional pattern of the tread. Overall this tire is good and depending on the price, you can consider also to put on your car if you don't have harsh winter like in Finland.
