Rover 75 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun given 85% (215-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 easy going miles
I changed all four tires to these Falken. I immediately noticed three things. 1. They are very very quiet. 2. The ride is very noticeable better than the tires I removed (avon). 3 the rolling resistance must be low, because the car rolls very easily with these fitted

Writing about the Avon ZV7 given 81% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 average miles
Would have lasted 20k miles were it not for a pot hole paid £240 fitted at Halfords. Quiet, good feed back, great in the cold and wet plus cornering was excellent. Replaced with Michelin PS4, I think I should have stayed with the Avons!

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 4 given 72% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Replaced the Avon ZV7 225/45/17 on my Rover 75 CDTi. No sports car I know but I like the ride vs handling balance the car provides. I have only cover 500 miles, so early days. The Avon was a more positive drive giving away very little in any other way. Given the Michelin is almost 50% more expensive it has a lot of ground to make up over the remaining life to convince me not to return to the Avon

Writing about the Dunlop Sport BluResponse given 86% (205-65-15-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15 average miles
Certainly the quietest tire I've ever had fitted. Wet grip not as good as a 'premium' tire (I tag Blue Response as a mid range) but not dreadful either, dry grip is as good as any I've used. Regarding wear I'd rate them 80% as good as a Michelin. So overall, a good buy, they tick many of the desired boxes, Driving a Rover 75 which has a quiet cabin, the Dunlop Blue Response really compliments that feature.

Writing about the Firestone Firehawk SZ90 given 69% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
I have recently bought a set of these tires for my car having been informed that they had a new tread pattern. I have found that they have good cornering and braking characteristics in wet or dry conditions on all road surfaces.

I recently took a friend who races street cars as a hobby for a drive on dual carriageways and motorway and he even remarked how quiet they were regarding road noise over other comparable makes.

I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone.

Writing about the Autogrip F107 given 20% (215-55-16-)
Driving on mostly town for 1000 average miles
I bought the car in 2015 with these tires on the back and Autogrip p308 on the front. Driving reasonably on wet corner in a housing estate, the rear let go instantly with terrifying fishtailing 3 or 4 times until back under control. Luckily there was nothing coming the other way and no parked vehicles. I swapped the f107 for some quality tires and have had no further problems, including no problems with the Autoslip/autogrip tires on the front. Do not buy!

Writing about the Nexen N8000 given 82% (215-55-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 easy going miles
I fitted these after reading the tests and reports on here.
Driving has ranged from single track roads to motorways in all conditions over the last couple of years and they have never given me cause for concern.
The fronts have just been replaced after 30,000 miles with the same again.
The rears will be replaced very shortly.
The miles I got from these tires came as quite a suprise as the compound does feel very soft and I really was not expecting them to last as long as they did.
I am very impressed at the price.
I will be fitting a set to my Wifes car shortly.

Writing about the Avon Ice Touring ST given 82% (195-65-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12 spirited miles
These tires really start to work when the temperature drops below about 8c the wet weather grip improves over normal tires.
On ice and snow the traction is much superior to normal tires but the wheels need to spinning a little for the tires to really work.

In dry warm conditions they feel a little "wobbly" compared to normal tires of the same size, so best kept for winter use only.

Writing about the Rotalla F105 given 88% (215-55-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Had these tires on now for just over 1000 miles its still early days , yet they
give a good overall feel , dry grip is good & in the wet feels ok too with over
35 years driving in all kinds of conditions & with all the big brands i can fully recommend these tires.
I also tow a 1200 kg caravan & feel these tires are no different from any of the well known expensive brands some other reviews on these tires need to be taken with a pinch of salt , they are GOOD & SAFE for £40 odd a corner are a real bargin .
if anyone really pushes a car they can get ANY brand to under perform

Writing about the Wanli S1088 given 0% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 150 average miles
I bought a Rover 75 SE Conn. and brought it back to the dealership the next day thinking that the wheel bearings had gone in all four corners. I was told that it was tire noise and that it was a known feature with the SUNNY tires fitted.
I was dissatisfied with this explanation,frankly not believing that it was possible for tires to create such a racket. The dealer changed all four rims for those on another Rover and when driven the difference was amazing.
Unfortunately the rims had to be swapped back and I was left with my Sunny shod originals. I changed the tires as soon as possible and will never have tires on a car ever again.
