Writing about the Michelin Energy XM2 given 54% (195-65-15-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 14000 spirited miles
I bought a Mercedes E-class coupe two years ago with these tires fitted. They are still on the car and I cannot get them to wear out. I find grip levels with these tires compared to Pirelli P7 tires on my other car to be very poor. I am likely going to change them before they wear out. There are very few "performance" tires in 15" so it appears it will be Conintental Premium Contact next. These tires do appear to last a long time however. But I drive mountain roads in Queensland and these tires are frightening even in the dry. I will avoid "long-life" tires in future.

Writing about the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta given 73% (255-35-18-)
Driving on mostly town for 13500 average miles
Bought some for the reasons when I bought the car. Soon changed the fronts from 'hong Kong specials' to match. Covered 13,500 miles and need changing (maybe should've done this 500 miles ago). Nice treacle pattern and not to expensive. Not amazing in the wet and I always have that niggle in the back of my one when 'making progress' especially in the tighter bends. All in all, I don't regret buying them but I will not be purchasing again. I will probably go back to michelins, Toyo's or maybe the kumho's which, although cheap(ish) seem to have excellent write ups.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 given 31% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
Changed my Continental Conti Sport Contact 5 with a new set of GoodYear F1 Asymmetric 2. Probably my worst decision. Corners that previously taken with 80km/h and more, without any issues now with 60km/h is an adventure, the car is shaking, sliding and etc. I do not feel safe with this set. Almost 3000km drive with them and I put the on e-bay and olx to sell. Already mount again new set of Continental.
Conclusion: I change summer and winter tires every season with new set (drive almost 60000km per year). Try Michelin, Nokia and the mentioned 2 brands. The GoodYear model is the worst one driven on my Benz.

Writing about the Avon ZZ3 given 79% (255-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 average miles
Recently replaced some P Zero's with these (225/40's front and 255/35's rear on a Merc CLK) and am pleasantly surprised. The P Zeros were far from worn out but were very poor on wet/icy roads and gave almost no feedback which was at times, almost scary (particularly in the recent bad weather. A full replacement set of the same would have cost me £900+ so the ZZ3's at £480 all in represented a major cost saving.

I have only done around 1500 miles on them so far but am very pleased with the hushed progress and stable feel in all conditions.

I used ZZ3s on my previous C Class and found them excellent then so had no qualms about buying more. Totally different profile of tire on my CLK but they look and feel great. I will of course be interested to see what wear I get from them but I doubt the P Zeros would have justified the extra 70-80% cost in that way either.

Writing about the Pirelli P6000 given 89% (225-60-16-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 35000 spirited miles
Have always been a Michelin man until bad wear on Primacy HP, tried Continental Premium contact 2 ( again tires did only 17000 miles on Motorways). Tried Pirelli P6000 Powergy and I have to say they have been the best tire wear I have experienced. Just taken off the rears after 35000 miles with still 3mm on, but with winter approaching wanted more tread. Sad to say cannot find any more of these, (Pirelli have dropped range). The only thing I would add is tread does not look to have a good grip for snow so have decided to try winter Vredestein tires for the first time. Wanted to buy some P6000 for spring and summer to store but as I said non availabe.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus Prime K105 given 100% (205-55-16-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 average miles
I have 4 Hankook Ventus Prime K105's fitted to my vehicle for the last 12 months and covered over 20K mostly motorway driving. The tires have responded well in all conditions and even after 20K there is still plenty of rubber left. I swapped my manufactured fitted Mitchellins for the Hankook's and I would recommend them to anyone. Brilliant tire.

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza ER300 given 53% (195-50-15-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
Grip in wet and dry seemed to me just as good as the Continental Super-Eco's (or whatever it was that I replaced before the ER300s) -- BUT the big issue for me has been tire wear. I put a set of 4 on less than 15000 miles ago and the front pair just went away very quickly. Today I decided they've had it. The rears are fine (but then on this car you'd expect the rears to last forever). I've never had a set of quality branded tires wear so quickly as these ER300s. The Continentals lasted twice as long, but weren't twice the price. I won't touch Bridgestones again for a while.

I'm looking at Kumho KU31 tires to replace these ER300s. The web reviews of the Kumhos look very promising.

Writing about the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx given 93% (255-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 13000 spirited miles
It's the best Dunlop tire I've used. SP9000 and SP01 are rubbish. Maxx is a big improvement, henc e being the flagship tire. I buy Dunlop because they are reasonably priced for a premium brand. Credit crunch time.

Better than Michelin PS2 in the wet. But not as good in the dry. Still top quality tho. I've done emergency stops with Dunlop Maxx and the wheels did not lock up a bit, really really impressed and saved me an accident. Unfortunately got a speeding ticket because the noise from the tires encourage me to drive fast. Wear ok. Overall, a tire which gives you confidence. Next time I might go for GY F1 Asymetric it is's cheaper. I would only go for these 2 brands becuase of their quality/price combination. I've seen the Maxx very popular on the Audi Q7s, BMW X5s and 5 series, mostly on german motors. I've also seen them on the Jag XK ( i think)...don't really know Jaguars too well...but aparently the maxx help to make the Jag feel good...

Writing about the Continental Premium Contact 2 given 80% (195-55-15-H)
Driving on mostly town for 13000 average miles
Very recommended tire. Much better comfort, dry and wet grip whem compared to the OE Bridgestone 591. Low noise as well. Wear is good, but worse than Bridgestone. I predict 25-30k miles, compared to 42k my Bridgestone lasted (driving in Brazil). This tire is very resistant to pot holes: never got bubbles despite some impacts they received.

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 2 given 77% (275-30-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
Had 19inch versions of these on my E Class. 245/35ZR19 at front and 275/30ZR19 at rear. Think the dry grip is quite good but its ability to get rid of water in what it's really good at. Traction control doesn't have to work over time with these tires.

However, these are very soft tires, rather like the Milchelin Sports so don't expect to last long. You would find small stones easiy penetrate these tires.

Overall 8 out of 10 and have replaced my first set at rear with the same again because they have the best alloy protection design. If you curb the wheels, you're more likely not to have scratched your wheels with these tires.
