Mercedes Benz W205 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the RoadX RXMOTION U11 given 46% (225-45-18-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 15000 average miles
These appear to be standard fit by Arnold Clarke on many of their approved used motors. I agree with previous comments on the traction light not kicking in unless pushed hard. Although they are allegedly low rolling resistance, I did not find them too fuel efficient. Dry handling is average. Dry braking is okay. Wet handling is average. Wet braking below average. The rule of 7°C applies for summer tires so they say. However, I found these were poorly gripping at 9°C. Cold conditions are a no for these. By 5mm tread depth, lateral grip was greatly reduced. You could be taking it slow and steady through a mini roundabout however, the car slides to the side. These tires cannot handle excitement but that is not what they are built for. Be prepared for fishtailing if you do excite them. Although, the tread feels like it could last an age, these tires just feel unsafe. There are tall claims of a 60k mile guarantee in their advertising. The more they wore out the worse they became. So bad, at 4mm, I was sick of the wheel spin and poor grip, I replaced them with something more sure footed. A budget brand. If you are on a budget and drive like a saint, these might work for you however, the more usage they see, the worse they get. Anti aqua planing abilities are non-existent. I purchased our car in the summer and they felt fine in the dry months. I thought I would see how things progressed. With weather changes and different conditions these proved they were not up to the job. To conclude, I do not think this is a safe tire and would not buy into the longevity claims.
