Toyota Avensis estate 1.8 petrol Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Sava Eskimo HP2 given 58% (205-60-16-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 300 spirited miles
This is initial review of mine (only 500km). I have ridden dozens of winter tires in past 30 years and have tested even more since I was working in automotive industry for 25 years.
So far haven’t tested them on snow and ice but i do on dry and wet roads 0-7C
These tires on dry road are average at best. They are wallowy and have poor lateral grip although they hold decent speeds before they start loosing grip. They are very imprecise and often need correction while in curve.
Wet performance is below average it was even worse experience than on dry roads.
I hope they will perform better on snow and ice since Sava Eskimo S3+ was better than most premium tires at those conditions.

Writing about the Barum Bravuris 5HM given 80% (215-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Have these tires on Toyota Avensis for the first summer season, before I had Michelin Primacy 3 as original part from Toyota. These Barums are comparable, dry grip is absolutely OK for normal driving, wet is OK to. Tires are very comfortable and silent compare to the old Michelins or used Nokian WR D4, which I'm using for winter.

Writing about the Radar Dimax R8 plus given 77% (215-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1900 average miles
For information, I am an experienced driver who drives according to the conditions, and can drive a bit over the speed limit if the roads and conditions are good. I have driven about 3000 km(1900miles) and am very satisfied. I have driven in torrential rain and not noticed any aquaplaning (max speed 80 km/h). The tires make a little more noise than previous tires I've had, but not disturbing to me. The sound from the tires was almost annoying at first, but after driving 1000-1500 km, the sound became weaker. I measured the tread depth when they were new, 8 mm. After driving about 3000 km, they are almost 7 mm (6.8 mm). I am very happy with that. Before i have Nexen Nblue HD Plus, and they were very quiet, but after about 7-8000 km there was only about 3.5 mm tread depth. Based on the fact that they are very cheap tires, I must say I am very satisfied! Drives only on asphalt roads.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 3 given 69% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Had these tires on the Toyota Avensis, dry grip is good with good steering, wet grip average, but still safe. What is the worse on these tires is the noise, they started to be so noisy when the thread is under 5mm, that I will not use them for another season. Wear is 1mm for 10.000 km in the front wheels, which is good.

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza T001 Evo given 77% (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 easy going miles
An excellent tire in both wet and dry conditions, highly recommended. Could be the best summer yet, but for one overwhelming niggle. Fuel economy. The 'EU' fuel rating for this tire is 'C'. Very unsure how this rating was achieved - & this is my experience so far. It's also worth noting at this juncture that I only replaced 2 rear Dunlop BluResponse's, leaving 2 Michelin Energy Savers up front intact. Both these older tires are 'B' rated for fuel.
On the open road, M and A roads, and generally taking it fairly easy, the T001 Evo's have proved fabulous, emulating the fuel economy of the Dunlop's, easily a 'B'. Well done Bridgestone.
In our corner of London however, the same cannot be said to be the case. Where before we would week-in week-out achieve 40mpg (via the car's computer) now we only achieve a careful 35 mpg at best, a 12.5% decline (and with the recent cold snap 33mpg has been the norm.) These latter figures are equivalent to Bridgestone's old ER30 and ER300 tires, both of which we've had on this particular car in the past, and both of which are 'E' fuel rated.
35mpg would therefore suggest a D fuel rating?
So, have the EU raters balanced the two results out, 'B&D' resulting in an overall 'C' rating? Something feels amiss.
If you do a modicum of stop/start driving, anticipate a lower fuel rating. If you're out on the M/A roads, the tire will excel. Bottom line, we do 9k miles p.a., and therefore over the life of the T001's at today's pump £prices and presuming a 25-30k tire life, we will be spending an additional £500-600 in fuel alone, relatively small - but then so is our mileage compared to many. It would now simply be more cost effective to trade them in for either more Dunlop's, or a 'B' fuel rated alternative. Would I buy them again, or replace the Energy Savers with these T001 Evo's going forward? Unless Bridgestone manage to get them into the 'B' fuel bracket and pertinently, across all driving terrains/conditions, the answer is a definite NO (otherwise, would the fuel economy continue to further fall?) A really very good summer tire nevertheless, potentially exceptional.

Writing about the Pace Toledo TL1000 given 70% (215-55-17-W)
Driving on mostly town for 4000 average miles
This review is for Toledo TL1000 tires 215/55ZR17 98W XL from SD International.
http://www.sd-international.cn/products/Toledo_pcr.html . I got my Toyota Avensis 1.8 CVT Estate second hand (ex Europe car hire car) and it had a pair of these on the front. Not knowing that much about tires at the time I decided to put the same on the rear which had been the OEM Dunlop Efficient grip. At the point the car had done 42K miles. We mostly drive in London with the occasional long trip. For the price of around £40 a tire you can't fault them. I can't do a direct comparison to other tires on the same car but the wet grip and dry grip in warmer weather is very good. When it drops below 10C the tires tend to harden up and being XL tires and seemingly a hard wearing compound (7mm still on the rear after 4k miles) that probably isn't surprising. You are definitely going to get a bit better handling, comfort and safety with a £100+ tire but I don't think you will find much more durability.

Writing about the Dunlop Sport BluResponse given 70% (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
Good tires but do not last long. Have been using for the last four years. Been changing my front ones twice in a year. They do wear a lot. Do around 12k miles a year. Bit expensive for my test. Otherwise they're quiet, handles my car well and really grips in corners.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 given 98% (235-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
I got these tires with a set of rims I bought second hand, and didn't think to much about the tires before I bought the wheels.... I bought them near the end of the winter season, and I wouldn't put them on for another 2 months.... I just wanted those rims! :D
But when I DID put the wheels on my car......... man alive! :-) They are excellent in corners, at least compared to the Syron race 1's I had on before (which were 225/45R18), I didn't feel as confident with the Syrons as I do with these Hankooks.
They are excellent, and though I haven't driven them hard in rain yet, because either the weather hasn't felt like raining, or when it DID rain, I had the family with in the car....so less incentive to test... I would have little qualms about taking a corner at a slightly higher speed than with my Syron tires.

When they wear out, I'm trying another brand though, with better scores on fuel efficiency, just to see. Either way, I'm going to go for a larger tire next time, because the speedo is off about 10% according to my GPS (on a flat road), and also the "speedo-boards" we have on the side of the road, here in Denmark. So going to 245/45R18 next time.

Writing about the Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue given 87% (215-55-17-W)
Driving on mostly motorways for 15000 easy going miles
Excellent tires. Had Goodyear Excellence and Michelin Primacy 3 fitted previously on the car. Apparently both Goodyear and Michelin had to be less noisy as the noise rating is 3 dB lower than Pirelli especially since the one I have is reinforced. However, in real life all 3 tires subjectively have the same level of noise. Problem with Goodyears was a relatively fast wear. After 25k miles tires became useless. Michelins were better, however much more pricier. Although I don't have anything bad to say about Michelin I feel that price is too steep. This time I tried Pirelli's and so far very pleased. After 15k mostly motorway miles tires still look like new. Not a sporty tire though. However, the grip both wet and dry is excellent for touring tire. Quiet.
I can certainly recommend these tires to everyone, who values comfort, reasonable grip and most importantly wants to get a lot of miles from tire set.
I'll certainly consider to buy Pirelli's again when next time I need new tires.

Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 spirited miles
Quality tire at a reasonable price , had them on for approx 6 mths (6000 miles ) unable to fault them ! I guess the main attribute of them is that they give confidence in how they make the car feel . Only point I can't give an opinion on is wear , but so far so good , have no reason to doubt they won't last . Buy again ... Yes without hesitation ..
