Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 easy going miles
Absolutely, without doubt the worst tires that I have ever encountered. Pleased to say that I didn't fit them, but they were fitted (brand new) to a car that I bought. Both front tires were below the legal limit within 3 months (3000-4000 miles) of moderate driving. I drive a Kia Sportage auto, so I'm hardly racing about and giving the tires a hard time.

Total junk at best, dangerous at worst.

Writing about the Sunny NA305 given 35% (245-45-19-)
Driving on mostly town for 1000 average miles
Sunny NA305 tires must be the worst tires I have experienced on a car in my 40 years of driving. I replaced my 2 front tires with a set early August when the weather was a little better.
In the dry, the tires squeal on corners when driving round town, as if they are running soft. In the wet, trying to pull away with any power causes wheelspins and traction control light to come on.
Cornering in the wet is awful. I have noticed it especially coming onto roundabouts where the road surface might be a little more greasy than normal, the front end of the car just gives up grip and will slide. They give no confidence whatsoever driving in the rain, so will not push them to any limits for fear of ending up in a ditch.
I will be returning to the garage I bought them to advise them of the problems, if they value their reputation, they will source another alternate budget tire.
I am going to try them on the rear axle to see how they perform, but will be expecting the car to have slightly different handling issues. Lesson learned, it was all the garage had in stock at the time, and gave me assurance they were of comparable quality to the tires they replaced. I will never buy a budget tire again. I wouldn't even fit these to a wheelbarrow.

Writing about the Vredestein Quatrac Pro given 98% (245-45-19-)
Driving on mostly town for 250 miles
I have mounted the Vredestein Quatrac Pro on my Kia Sportage and have driven 4,000 kilometers on mainly city highways in dry weather, so I cannot yet assess all the tire's qualities. However, I have perceived great improvements over original equipment Hankook: better grip, better comfort, better feel and absolute quietness. also not bad rim saver, recommended. I look forward to testing them in extreme conditions. At that point I will update my review.

Driving on mostly country roads for 42000 easy going miles
Now covered 42k miles and 5mm still remain, can't seem to wear them out. Think that hankook has stopped making them now which is a shame. No problems with braking in wet or dry conditions. .

Writing about the Kumho Solus 4S HA32 given 69% (235-55-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 easy going miles
Not a high performance tire, but very solid and fair. On an icy road it might be a bit weak but acceptable, as long as you have traction control on board.

Writing about the Marshal MU12 given 100% (245-45-19-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 10 miles
Only just fitted to my 2019 KIA Sportage GT Line. Much quiter than the Hankook tires which came fitted with the vehicle. Good ride and handling performance so far. Only run for around 700+ klms but so far very happy. Only dry highway driving towing a 1600kg caravan. Really worth considering before you go to the high end tire brands.

Writing about the Kormoran Suv Summer given 100% (235-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
I have the Taurus 701 version of these tires, but they are completely identical to the Kormoran SUV summer and the Riken 701 - different brand names all made identically in the same Michelin subsidiary factory, but Tirereviews only list this version for some reason. These tires on my Kia Sportage 150Hp 4WD are excellent. I had my doubts as I have had Continentals before but money was tight so I went for these and have absolutely no regrets. On the road in dry and wet they are grippy, handle well, are quieter than the Continentals, and are very comfortable. Off road on gravel, mud and rocks they seem to grip well (they are M+S rated), and in snow they are faultless - I took the car down a rocky track covered in snow and ice and didn’t lose grip once. After 3,000 miles there is no sign of any wear or deformity. These are a very good ‘budget’ tire worthy of a mid-range or even premium label.

Writing about the Nexen Roadian GTX given 90% (235-60-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 7500 average miles
Have these fitted on our Kia Sportage and have to say I'm extremely impressed after 11000k's and can't fault them. They are very quiet and comfortable at 35 psi and at this stage I would definitely get another set if they get me 40000k's or so.

Writing about the Kumho KL33 given 63% (225-60-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 9000 easy going miles
The tire tread started chipping/chunking at 9000 kms. Handling, comfort and grib are excellent but the build quality is horrible. I drive mostly in city with a few rough roads and highways. The tire chipping at cracking at such low Milage has been reported by several other users. So won't recommend these tires
