Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 spirited miles
Excellent tires, these were the ones that came with the car. Never had any issue, always dependable on any circumstances. Superb grip on dry and wet, even when close to the twi the grip in wet was quite good. Aquaplaning resistance not the best. Also didn't last as long as expected, but overall great tires. High price though.

Driving on mostly country roads for 40000 average miles
6 year old 17 plate (40.000 miles) car and tires from new. MOT advising fronts are getting near minimum and have just replaced. Original rear tires have plenty of tread left in them! Very happy with them although have just replaced fronts with Avon ZV7 as they were mid range and of course cheaper as I average about 6,000 a year.

Writing about the Goodyear UltraGrip 9 given 76% (195-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Hello, this is my review of the Goodyear Utragrip 9 195/55R16 87H. First of all, I didn't buy these tires new, I've got 2 of them for cheap, installed on the front with about 5.5mm left, so I would call this a end of life review. I had Vredestein Snowtrac 5 on the rear with more thread dept, so I'll try to talk more about the fronts. I haven't experienced snow, but a lot of greasy and icy weather, which they handled well. Good grip in the wet and dry, only in the dry they like to make more noise(?). Comfort is average for a winter tire. I have no idea about wear, but they have worn just a little in the 4000+ miles I've driven. (About .8mm less) Will be replaced with used Michelin Alpin A4, review will follow.

Driving on a combination of roads for 2500 easy going miles
Got them second hand for a Citroën C3 1.2 PureTech. Put them on the front of the car with 5.6mm of thread left. Didn't experience snow or ice, but some slippery and freezing conditions I did. Excellent overall, in slippery weather they're a life saver. Would recommend.

Writing about the Michelin Energy Saver Plus given 59% (195-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 55000 easy going miles
OE on a 2015 Citroën C3 1.2 PureTech. Not the best Michelins imo The big problem with these is the dry rotting of the whole tire. It's pretty bad. Grip is normal, as expected from a Michelin. I can't recommend them because of the dry rotting problem.

Writing about the Milestone Green Sport given 40% (195-55-16-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 10500 average miles
My mom got these tires on the front when she bought her car second hand. This is my experience with them. Dry grip is not bad, never had a issue in the dry. Wet grip is poor, with a average amount of rain the car slips in 1st gear when driving from a traffic light. The wear is horrifying, you wouldn't get more than 20.000 miles out of them. Would not recommend.

Writing about the Goodride SW602 given 80% (-65-15-)
Driving on mostly town for 22000 average miles
I selected this tire for a citroen c3 (1100 and around 60hp) because of their cost compared to the EU label grades. Before this set I switched summer tire (bridgestone turanza) and winter tire (goodyear). I live in north Italy, around Milano. Summer is hot, winter is not so cold with very few snow. In my opinion the Goodride SW602 are the perfect tire for this kind of car. No particular noise, great on wet, fuel consumption equal to the summer tire, and after 22000miles they worked great with 6in of snow.

Writing about the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 given 83% (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
Fitted these tires after the Manufacturer Standard Michelin Primacy 3s proved to be an absolute liability in winter. In terms of day to day use a great tire. I can't comment on feedback or lack of it because the car doesn't have any to begin with it's not that sort of car. But in terms of a tire that in cold, hot or wet conditions provides no nasty surprises it's spot on. Also a soft riding tire which is good for taking the edge off expanding gaps etc. Rolling noise is no worse than the summers that were on, if anything may be a little bit quieter. In general in normal conditions a lovely stable safe tire, if not the most fun thing I'd imagine. In winter conditions absolutely great, they are not magic by any means, you know you are on snow and ice but they provide more than enough grip for the esp, tcs and abs to work with. As a result rather than these systems hindering your progress by killing any forward movement at all or removing all braking force trying to keep the wheels rolling they become useful. Had the "luck" to find myself on a sheet of ice on a single track road heading towards another car who was also on ice and we were going to meet at the bottom of a dip. Pressed the brake, ABS kicked in but the car slowed and I could steer out of his way. I then managed to pull away out of the dip on sheet ice without much interference from the traction control. They also work well snow as well.

Writing about the Nexen N Fera SU4 given 77% (195-50-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 9500 spirited miles
I had a good experience with Nexen before and there was a big price difference between them and premium tires in this dimension so I gave them a try. I wasn't disappointed, they are really solid and safe tires. No problems in the wet, predictable when pushed. Maybe a bit noisier than old Bridgestones. Front tire depth was a bit over 5mm after some 15.000km
