Alfa Romeo MiTo Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Hankook Ventus Evo given 92% (215-40-18-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 250 spirited miles
My initial impressions of the Hankook Ventus EVO are very positive. At the time of writing, this tire has just launched. Its launch coincided with the previous summer tires (Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2) on my Alfa Romeo Mito QV warranting replacement due to some cracking on the sidewall (Dunlops were coming up on 6 years of age but still would’ve had tread for 1 or 2 summers more). The above, combined with getting a good deal on them, meant I chose to give these Hankooks a try.

The size is a bit of an unusual one, and therefore the price of this set, compared to a set of 225-section width A-brand tires, is quite a bit higher. Of the A-tier brands that offer their latest tire model in the 215-section width tires (not all brands do…), Hankook was by far the best deal for me.

I’ve mounted the tires after work and immediately went for a little evening (cooler temps around 10 °C) back-road blast. The amount of grip these tires have impressed me right away. Compared to the Dunlops I’ve had on before, the Hankook’s compound feels softer and construction a touch more compliant. Therefore, the grip, both directionally and laterally, feels much more impressive. The tire is quieter, and the ride is more comfortable. Braking feels very strong, as well as giving good feedback. If I may nit-pick, the steering response, I do experience as a touch slower. If one drives (close to) the speed limit, I’d doubt this would be of any bother at all.

Although I’ve tried many tires in my life before, I do not have the data bank of Jonathan. I hope he gets to try them soon and share his experiences. Personally, I’d imagine that these tires are amongst some of the best available. I know they’ve really impressed me personally.

Note: these are my initial impressions after just two days commuting and two back-road blasts (ca. 400 kms total). I will monitor the wear, performance in different conditions and update my review where possible.

Really good value for this price category. Good handling in wet and also in dry roads. Maybe a bit more noisy..

Writing about the Pirelli CINTURATO P1 given 84% (195-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 miles
About to fit my second set. Dry grip, comfort, handling and long tire life are particular strengths. Wet grip is good enough, especially on one occasion a while back when an elderly motorist pulled out of a local garden centre without looking, and I to drop the anchors fast! Thoroughly recommend.

Not had these for long but so far they're great for budget priced tires. Didn't want to spend a fortune as I'm replacing my alloys soon. For the mileage I do they do the job.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 given 74% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
We bought these tires for our Alfa Romeo MiTo QV in 2017, it lasted 40.000 kms, and I think it's not bad for an 170 hp FWD car, however we had to rotate between front amd rear. Grip was good, but not too special. Only sometimes did the tires have an extra grip. But there wasn't any serious problems with handling, the car handled very stable every time. Tires were a bit hard to our crapp Hungarian roads, on bad surfaces it shaked the car. I'm looking for buy the new tires form another brand, that's why I'm here.

Driving on mostly town for 25000 average miles
Much improved and better than Asymmetric II, that I didn't liked, mainly because they had very soft sides. Very good overall, medium wear, very good grip, a little bit noisy. After more than 3 years, they are still

I am very surprised by the performance of this relatively new company tire and the performance is just amazing. I live in Israel. The most complex roads I think the world's Broken roads 😂 Hot temperature The tire meets all these conditions I mentioned above I am going to buy this tire once again very satisfied with the company of devanti

Writing about the Davanti DX640 given 90% (225-40-18-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Was really looking for a summer tire to get me through the upcoming MOT. Davanti were a new one on me but the local tire shop raved about them, and the price was very good. I was well impressed with the grip levels in the dry and wet. I have to say having chosen the likes of Falken a few years back on another Alfa, I was expecting similar budget to mid-range tires to be just OK, but the Davanti's have really surprised me. I'm a little bit perplexed by an earlier review by another Mito owner with the same tire size, saying they feel like they're coated in lard ... I have no idea what was going on with his car, cos nothing could be further from the truth on mine! Reserving judgement on long term use as I've only done around 5K so far. One minor issue, the rim protection is a bit weak. The wife scraped a curb recently (grr) and the rim protection just sliced away like cheese - no protection at all it seems ... sigh!
