Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 average miles
Used same 4 tires on my previous 2wd and now on my 4wd. Driven alot on snow and ice (Sweden) for three seasons. Only had one minor incident when grip was lost (extremely icy condition with melted water on top during overtake). Beside from this situation I am extremely satisfied with the tires and would recommend them.

Writing about the Viatti Strada Asimmetrico given 53% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 spirited miles
Very unpredictable grip during acceleration. On perfect dry new road the car launches like glue without spinning but in all other circumstances (everyday roads, rain, bit dirty roads) they give up completely even with smooth driving. They aren't noisy but the turning is not linear they respond well at initial turning but they dont hold up well in mid turns. Braking is fine nothing crazy. On wet they dont aquaplane as much as brand tires but the grip is much lower on all circumstances. Wouldn't buy again they give bad and *choppy* steering feel

Writing about the Falken ZE914 given 59% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 22 average miles
Tires were on my saab 9-3 aero 250 hp when I bought it. They were on the car for about one year by then.

Not so impressed with these. Dry handling and grip is ok, but not great. Wet grip is bad in my opinion. I have to be carefull when taking corners in the wet because I can feel the car breaking loose easily. I'm spinning wheels in 3rd gear going straight. Road feedback is ok, but not great either. I've had kumho tires on my previous car, different weight and engine of course (mg zr td 150 hp) but the grip compared to these was fenomenal. Aquaplanning is very good though on these tires.

They are completely worn out after about 40 000 km. I drive sporty from time to time, but mostly not. I must say they do produce more and more noise now that they are getting worn. In the contrary, the grip stays the same.

I wouldn't buy them again.

Writing about the Nexen N3000 given 46% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on mostly town for 24000 spirited miles
The N3000s were brand new on my Saab 9-3 when I bought it second hand on early 2014 and while these tires look sharp and have only done 24000 miles since I have had the car I was quite shocked to see a flat tire. I removed the tire and couldn’t see any nail or hole so I took it to a local tire repair shop who said there was a leak in the side wall and that the othree three tires have an advisory on them for the same issue. I had noticed over the past few months that I had to put air in tires more frequently but never expected the sidewall to collapse as the tread isnt even half way to 1.6mm. The spare is now on and luckily I dont have to use my car daily as, quite frankly, I dont want to drive it. I am getting Continental Premium Contact 6 tires fitted later this week and hope they have a bit more grip and longevity.

Writing about the Maxxis Premitra HP5 given 78% (215-55-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20 average miles
David Burford of Saabtech recommended these tires to me. My Saab 95 had recently passed its MOT, but I got it in my head to change the Michelin Primacy on the rear and Dunlop Sport Bluresponse on the front. I read the reviews on the Maxxis HP5 manufactured by the 9th biggest tire company in the world, China's Cheng Shin Tire Company. With reference to whether the wear of the tire justifies the cost, my review is this: new budget tires are much better than worn premium tires. I won't comment on the highly subjective personal ratings, but point out this tire is A rated for wet grip, C rated for fuel economy, and certified 70db for noise. Saabtech fit the tire, balanced and disposal of the old tire for 55 pounds a corner. Well worth it, I'd say.

Writing about the Avon ZV7 given 83% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 200 easy going miles
Early days-200 miles since fitted. Noticeably quieter than the [worn] Prestivo S1s and Avon ZV5s they replaced. Have not been pushed to the limits of adhesion when cornering or braking- and hopefully never will be. Useful slight bulge at the side might spare the alloys some time. Impressed so far.

Driving on mostly country roads for 600 average miles
Tried these tires, NEVER again... Car had a annoying trembly feel to it all the time, especially on very smooth hot mix, wet weather grip VERY unpredictable, tried to balance them several times, then found that were out of round,!! dealer would not take them back, OR refund, Had been buying TOYO Teo from him for ages, on my BMW,s and SAAB,s. Has lost me as a customer.

Writing about the Nankang NS2 given 43% (225-40-18-)
Driving on mostly town for 8000 spirited miles
Honestly, worst piece of rubber I have ever mounted on my car. I bought them one summer when funds were tight, and I regretted it the whole time. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THESE. Trust me.

These things can't grip worth shit in the dry weather. I get wheel spin in 5th gear trying to pass on the highway. Wheel spin at every stop light. Wheel spin coming out of a turn. I have a FWD car with just over 200hp....not exactly a powerhouse.

Surprisingly they are a bit better in wet weather. Noticeably less wheel spin.....but it still happens.

Comfort wise, they are on the sportier side, but I don't mind. I like my tires firmer with good feedback.

Wear was pretty good....until one of the front tires blew.....probably from too much wheel spin.

Basically, what I am saying, spend the extra couple hundred bucks and get a good set of tires. These are not worth the savings. All you'll get is frustration and wheel spin.
