Alfa Romeo 156 1,8 TS Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Toyo T1R given 49% (215-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 25000 average miles
3 years down the road and these tires are absolutely atrocious in the wets. It's like going down an icy road in the winter, except it's still 20°C out and just wet. If my car wasn't set up to be moderately tail happy, I would've long crashed it or put it in a ditch, going round a corner or a roundabout at 15mph. These will get dumped ASAP, despite having 4-5mm of thread left - which on the other hand is rather impressive, given the miles I've put into them.

Writing about the Kleber Krisalp HP3 given 82% (205-55-16-H)
Driving on mostly country roads for 3750 average miles
Fitted for about 6000km by now. Good winter tires, that grip very well in the wets (which suits the Danish winter well, as we rarely get snow). I have however had these in the fresh snow a few weeks back, and they do grip well and are predictable.

My only gripe with this tire, is that they seem to have quite a ring/singing when on wet, smooth asphalt - this is mostly noticeable during acceleration, and only of the very smoothest of asphalt, but a nuisance nonetheless. This is enough for me to consider not getting these again.

Driving on mostly country roads for 6000 average miles
These tires are good, to a certain extent. On a day-to-day basis, with a mostly easy going driving style, I don't have much to put on these, except for maybe noise. Wear level is fine.
But when you push these tires, it's where things start going wrong. In dry, the feedback is good, as is the grip. When the roads are wet - or even just damp, things go badly. My ABS kicks in under moderately hard braking from only 40mph, and the car will understeer if I try pushing it too hard round a corner.
Based on the fact that they're useless in the wets, it's a definite no-no for a re-purchase.

Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
One word - amazing. You feel extremely stable and safe on very rainy day even with medium-high speeds (~140-150). I will buy it again 100%.

Writing about the Pirelli P6 Fourseasons given 39% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 average miles
Sadly the Pirelli P6 Fourseasons were not a good buy and were worn out in under 8,000 miles, those were also noisy miles as they are not the quietest tire on the market.
