Yokohama ICE GUARD IG50 PLUS rated 82% while driving a Honda Fit (Jazz)

Driving on a combination of roads for 23000 easy going miles
I bought my car with these winter tires. They where new... I did approx. 38k with them and there are still at least 10k. Unfortunately almost no snow experience , here in Ireland, just 3-4 days in 2 years. Compared with other winter tires I used ( Pirelli, Kumho and Brigestone ) these were used 2 years continuously , while other were changed : Winter - winter tires , Summer - with summer tires. The only issue, according to me is - fuel consumption. It increased with approx. 1lt/100km.( compared with summer tires )... Otherwise tires are super ! I use them on AWD - all are worn the same, Tires are soft so the grip is perfect, in all seasons, almost no traction control light seen on the board... Comfort - they are noise compared with summer ones but have smooth drive...maybe due to the soft resin.
Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 rated 79% while driving a MINI Cooper

Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
Have used the original Vector 4, the Gen 2 and now these Gen 3's on various cars over the years, and they have always been very good in the cold and wet. However, these Gen 3 are probably the best yet when it gets warm and dry, with improved breaking in these conditions.
Unfortunately though they don't seem to suit our current Mini F56 hatch, due to the persistent and noticeable tyre roar. Not sure if its down to our current model of car, or the new design of the Gen 3, but they are certainly nosier than the previous Vector 4 tread patterns, which I've used on other small sized cars with similar sized tyres.

Honda fitted the Turanza ER370 to the Jazz in 2019. This was a brand new car, lady driven extremely lightly, now only 17k km on the clock, and at least 2 tyres are warn and replaceable - biggest disgrace possible and never again a Brigestone tyre in my yard. I cant wait for the replacement. Chose Dunlop SP Sport 560 92H (found to be 6th best out of 146 tyre makes and versions compared) after most satisfied with Dunlop tyres on my ML Mercedes and new Fortuner.

Have put these tyres on 3 different cars now and accumulated a lot of miles between them. I now won't buy anything else. I have been sold on the concept of all-season tyres for a while (they have got me out of trouble on more than one occasion) and had previously worked my way through a set of Bridgestones (Weather control) Continentals (All season contact) and the obligatory Michelin Cross-Climates. These GT Radials are every bit as good as any of those three but far cheaper. The Michelins, in particular, are crazy expensive for what you get in my opinon. In fact, the GTs are particularly good value when you bear in mind how long they last. No kidding, you will still have plenty of tread left after 30,000 miles. The others lasted 20/25,000 at best before the grip dropped off dramatically. They are also quiet (for an all-season tyre) and very smooth/comfortable. I don't drive like an idiot but they provide all the feedback and wet/dry handling and braking that I could ever need. Probably not the very best in snow but (of course) far, far better than normal summer tyres and proved to be excellent in the very icy conditions we had last year. On a wet motorway they inspire huge confidence and track dead straight. If you are buying four (and you should do so if possible) then it's a big saving over the "premium" tyres. They take a few hundred miles to wear in but once they do you will be amazed how grippy they are in all conditions. Highly recommended.
Perfect tires at a very good price.

Fitted two of these on the front in a hurry because they were cheap. Nothing wrong with the grip under most conditions, but they seemed agricultural compared with my previous Toyos and the ride was harsh. They were also very noisy, which got tiring and I was almost pleased when I got a puncture in one and was able to replace both with Khumos, which are superior in every way.

Much quieter and smoother than previous Riken tyres and with a more comfortable ride. Quieter, too. Perfectly adequate in the wet under normal driving conditions. Noticeably better fuel consumption. Would recommend.

Tyres were installed on 01/2018, made in Thailand. I park my car in the basement, so no direct sunlight. For the first two years I accumulated around 20k km and swapped front/back. After that covid hit and now 07/2023 the tyres have accumulated 45k. These tyres excel at handling and road feedback, feel very sharp up to now. The unique advantage that have compared to other premium brands I drove, is that wear comes gradually and you never feel that the rubber becomes stiff throughout the years. Also during summer, car is driven in gravel roads with some nasty rocks and these tyres have really good walls. Perfect in breaking on dry conditions, almost perfect in wet (the most predictable tyres that I have driven). As a disadvantage I would say the road noise is high now but, it is expected after so many Km and rough usage from time to time.
Continental EcoContact 6 rated 86% while driving a Toyota iq

Nice tyres, very nice rolling and very low fuel consuption. The handling is descent, the grip is good on dry road, ok on the wet (much better than the previous michelin energy savers). 40K klms and still have so much rubber to wear. Light car and smooth driving is probably the reason, but they look like new to me

I only used michelin before on my Honda city but this time 15 inches michelin were not available..... So went for the pirelli p6 thinking it to be the next best thing and boy I was proved right... They are excellent tyres in all the parameters but noise.... How can any tyre produce so much noise....
Comfort drastically improved
Handling improved
Control improved
Mileage might have gone down but not sure
Overall very much satisfied
The second best after michelin in my opinion
Continental EcoContact 6 rated 36% while driving a Fiat Panda 4 x4
Driving on a combination of roads for 400 easy going miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 400 easy going miles
I’ll start by saying that these tyres are probably amongst the worst tyres I have experienced on any car I have purchased over the past twenty years or so.
Perhaps I’m being unduly harsh on the tyre and should in fact aim my disappointment at the car manufacturers for choosing the EcoContact 6 tyre as a suitable ‘year-round’ original-equipment fitment for a north European market.
As a pure ‘summer-use only’ tyre it’ll undoubtedly work well enough, despite the meagre 6mm of tread depth from new, which limits its potential lifespan.
My first experience with Continental tyres was with the EcoContact 4, as fitted to my then-new Fiat Panda Cross three years ago.
As I took delivery of the car during the summer I had to wait until the winter to discover how unsuited those tyres were to northern European winters. At low air temperatures the tyres became very noisy, felt ‘wooden’ and ‘nervous’, and their grip on icy and snow covered tarmac was abysmal.
After that first winter I changed to a set of Nokian Weatherproof All-Seasons tyres…and what a transformation.
Now, just a few weeks ago, I took delivery of a new Fiat Panda Wild 4x4. My heart sank when I discovered it was equipped with the latest EcoContact 6 tyres.
Again, these are pure ‘summer’ tyres. Thankfully I missed the worst of the winter weather, yet even so, on cold damp tarmac the EcoContact 6 tyres lack grip and composure and they don’t instil any confidence.
But at least I will have many months to consider suitable replacements before next winter.
And one final observation regarding EcoContact tyres…
Why are the tyre sidewalls - even from new - all lumpy and uneven, giving the impression that they are damaged. Why?
Michelin Primacy 4 rated 65% while driving a Suzuki Swift

Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 spirited miles
Driven a total of 1000 km in mild winter, the main thing coming from the previous kleber tyres are the road noise, significantly less, and general confort, which somehow feels softer overall. The dry and wet feel overall better, but aquaplaning is surprisingly not great on these tyres, with slight skips sideways (tiny really, but perceptable in the wet Brittany weather), which, while better than the klebers, was not a big improvement as I had hoped. The road feedback is better than the klebers, still slightly Meh, but fine overall for city, country roads and some highway use. Have to see if these tyres wear out slower than the klebers though.
