Eş zamanlı olarak hem turanza6 hem turanza5 kullanıyorum. Turanza6 kolay kolay kaymaz ve ABS açmazdı. Turanza5 daha 5000km olmasına rağmen ilk günden beri hem kuru, hem de ıslak zeminde orta/sert frende çok erken ABS açma meyilinde. Turanza6 ya göre belirgin daha sert ve konforsuz. Parasının hakkını veren bir lastik kesinlikle değil.

What drivers say about their 195/55 R16 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
These tyres seem to popular because several garages stock them,and say they are one of the best sellers.Well they have proven to me that they are not very good at all, grip in dry and wet conditions are rather poor,and I don`t drive fast by any means,they just seem like bog-standard cheapies to me.
In cold conditions they are very poor,almost no grip in icey or snowy condtions,I was surprised just how bad they are.
Garage told me they are designed in UK but made in China,well that`s all rather meaningless,quality wise I would rate them as poor budget tyres at best.
I know other people that have bought them,and they found them to be poor on ware and grip,so it`s not just me.
Don`t believe the hype,these tyres are not much good, spend a bit more on a known brand.
Overall, I’m satisfied with the tire’s performance and durability. I mainly use it on poorly maintained asphalt roads and in extremely heavy city traffic. I’m happy with its braking performance, grip on both dry and wet surfaces, and overall comfort.
I never reached the end of these tyres life. Mostly on the front then about 5k on back they were down to 4.5 mm at 20K miles - Exchanged the car after that
I never go below 3mm anyway and only do about 6k miles so hard wearing is a waste for me
Tyre work really well. The Zoe overall has more road noise than the Continental ECO 6 on our ID3, so when changing the rear tires (The Michelins were not available) we put Continentals on the rear of the Zoe
All in all, the car drives like a go kart, and the michelins have not give any "moment" in wet, dry, braking or corniering
Very good tyres. Used on my Toyota Aqua (Priuc C) for almost 6 years. Great value for money. Purchased again today same model.
J'avais acheté ces pneus 4 saisons pour leurs notations sur route mouillée, ils équipent une 208, ce pneu a je dirai deux facettes : sur la premier moitié de sa vie donc jusqu'au témoin neige le pneu se montre parfait sur le sec, sur le mouillé, par pluie battante en virage nottemment il est sécuritaire et ne bouge pas d'un poil. Par contre arrivé au témoin neige le pneu devient glissant en virage et rond point en cas de chaussée trop humide, sur le sec il reste ultra performant et agréable à conduire. Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de les tester sur neiges ou glace donc je ne peu pas émettre d'avis sur ces points. Point négatif, il arrivent en fin de vie a 23000km... L'été a été caniculaires donc je pense que les gommes tendres ont subit un peu mais ça reste peu pour un pneu de ce prix et de cette normalement qualité, je précise que ma conduite est constituée essentiellement de 4 voies et départementale et qu'elle n'est pas forcément agressive... Je vais donc changer de marque et essayer d'autres marques.
I received these Apollo tires as a birthday gift from my nephew. They were lightly used—only about 2,000 miles on his previous car before he sold it with winter tires on.
I installed them on my family's Opel Meriva A without expecting too much. For context, I regularly drive different company cars equipped with all the premium tire brands, so I have a solid benchmark for comparison.
Frankly, these Apollo tires dropped my jaw. They are right in line with premium brands, offering great driving stability in both dry and wet conditions. They are remarkably comfortable and low-noise. How can a tire from India be this good???

Review your tyres and help the next driver choose. It takes about five minutes, and every review on this page came from a driver who took them.
Where this data comes from
Owner ratings are submitted through the review form on this site, naming the tyre, the size and the distance covered, and are checked by hand before publication. Test results come from independent published tyre tests indexed by size, and label values from the EU EPREL database.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
