Renault 12 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental EcoContact 6 given 47% (205-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 average miles
Tires came with the car when I bought it. After two years and almost 9000 miles I have to say that they have very high wear and average grip on both dry and wet roads and the only positive thing on these tires are the low noise. Specs that you can find on an cheaper tire. I will not buy them again for sure.

Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 spirited miles
The best summer tires I ever had: fuel saving, but little bit noisy. They lasted for 50.000km on mixed roads exploitation conditions.

Been through a few sets of these and love them. Have also used Yokohama AD08R, Pilot Sport Cup 2 and a couple of others but I recon the Hankooks are the best bang for buck road / track tire. Not as much outright grip as a semi slick (e.g. Nankang AR1) but not far off - and perfectly acceptable as a road tire as long as you don't try anything silly in the wet.

These tires were OEM. After 16,000 kms the fronts have an average of 5.3mm remaining, and the rears 7.02mm.

I have no complaints with these tires and they seem to be wearing well

20000 were bald. We’re noisy and expensive to replace .

Writing about the Landsail LS388 AS given 0% (195-50-16-V)
Driving on mostly town for 5000 average miles
Needed some tires to get through an MOT in a hurry, the garage had these in stock and they came recommended. Was shocked to discover just how inferior they are compared to the badly worn Barum Bravuris 3HM's that were fitted previously. In dry conditions, they are OK, just noisy at motorway speeds. But it is in wet conditions that these tires truly let themselves down. Traversing a roundabout in even in the most lightly moist of conditions is akin to sliding across an ice rink, (unless driving at funeral procession speeds is your thing), and don't even think about pulling away briskly at a junction, unless you want to induce instantaneous wheel spin. Even giving it the beans in third or fourth will have these tires squabbling for grip on a damp road. In recent years, I've had vastly superior tires than these for the money, in fact, these are on par, if not worse than the budget specials I once bought when I was a broke student. Never again for me.

I was ammazed by this tires performance, especially on the wet surfaces. Excelent grip but most important amazing on braking, no matter if you brake hard on wet or dry surface.

It's so good. But be careful on the wet roads.
