245/45 18 Tyre Review Highlights

Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3 rated 76% while driving a Jaguar XF
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 average miles
Good tyres with a long life as long as not pushed to the limits they have ample grip for all surfaces. I'm on my second set in five years after getting around 30,000 miles out of the first set

Nokian WR A4 rated 72% while driving a Jaguar XF
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Good especially for winter condition.

Roadhog RGHP01 rated 56% while driving a Audi A4 Avant Quattro 252 bhp S Line Sport (8W/B9)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
Good in dry conditions, good confort e low noise. In wet conditions is better to park and wait for sunny conditions before restart: they are dangerous.

Bridgestone Turanza T005 rated 44% while driving a BMW 530D
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
I am shocked after switching from winter tires to these ones because I have LESS grip on dry with these than with the winters on 20 degrees celsius weather.

RoadX RXMOTION U11 rated 34% while driving a Ford Focus
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
These were new on the front of my Ford focus which I bought second hand in January. 16k on tje clock and rear tyres still had factory original michelin pilot 4s on . These tyres have to be the worst I have ever driven on in over 30 years of motoring. Horrible feedback and the grip is borderline dangerous. Ended up buying 4 goodyear asymmetric 6 tyres and the car is like a different car. Full confidence going into a roundabout and don't have to judge if your goi g to slide or take someone out . These tyres should be avoided at all costs. Spend more and stay safe.

Hankook Winter i cept evo3 rated 91% while driving a Audi S5
Driving on mostly motorways for 7000 average miles
After reviewing Tyre Review data I selected the Hankook tires, and it helped the dealership was having a winter sale… $1800CAD including factory rims was a great deal.

It’s been two seasons now with three conditions being dry, then wet, then snow by the number of driving days. On dry roads to ride is comfortable with stable handling and the grip is assured and precise with on ramps, long and medium corners. They lose some composure with sharp turning, and the braking takes a little longer than I’d like. This is probably the least inspiring aspect of all the parameters. Wet performance is very good, with turn and corners being very assured. And the wet braking feels better in the wet than the dry? Not sure how but that’s the way it feels. The best part now… The snow is just a blast with these Hankooks. Very grippy whether braking, accelerating or turning the vehicle; this tire does it all in the snow.

After just under 10,000 km the tread looks unused, with more than 7mm across each tire.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 rated 90% while driving a Opel
Driving on mostly country roads for 30000 average miles
These tires are fitted on a large Opel Insignia, the handling is amazing in all circumstances and driving in mountain roads with thick snow and ice is no issue. They are probably not as good on dry roads in the summer but they remain very good compared to others. They last at least 50,000 KM for the rear tires and 45,000 KM for the front tires, as I drive around 50,000KM a year I need to change them once a year. I predominantly drive on secondary mountain roads this is very demanding for tires the rest is done on highways I would honestly consider that you are driving predominantly on highways at standard speed (130 KPH) you can expect to achieve 60,000 km with the four tires (do not forget to permut them though). They are much better than the continental all seasons I have on my mercedes EQE. Companring both tires I would say that the handling on dry roads is better with the continental but once it gets wet/snowy or icy the Goodyear is a lot better. From what I can see with the mercedes although it is a lot heavier than the opel, the continental will probably need replacement after 30,000 KM. I wish I could fit the Good Years on the mercedes but it is not allowed on this car only mchelin and continental all seasons tires have been registered.

Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 rated 100% while driving a Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
So far, amazing tire. One of the best ever made. It grips and it handles so much better than the eagle f1 asymmetric6, the previously fitted on this car, and the wintercontact ts 850 p on another. And the comfort, its like the car is floating. Not cheap though.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 rated 70% while driving a Vauxhall Insignia CDTI SRI 160
Driving on a combination of roads for 9500 spirited miles
Initially the tyres were decent on both dry and wet roads however after only 9500 miles they're down to 3mm which for the price is dissaponting..The performance dropped off significantly when under 5mm. By which I mean they have never been dangerous just lost their controlled grip... Don't think I'd buy them again due to lack of value for money and low mileage.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 rated 77% while driving a BMW 218d Active Tourer
Driving on mostly town for 5000 average miles
OEM for the i4e40. The tyre has very obvious priorities. Rolling resistance and noise. It really excels in these two areas. But thankfully it is not useless in all other key aspects. Dry, wet, braking, feedback, they are all ok. Not great, but not mediocre either. Great choice for this car, but I will choose something better for the next round, even if I give away a couple of dozen miles of range
