225/65 16 Tyre Review Highlights

Falken Linam VAN01 rated 31% while driving a Peugeot Expert
Driving on mostly town for 21000 average miles
I replaced my worn front tyres with these at the advice of the garage. My van previously had Michelin Agilis 51 that had covered aprox 35k miles.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend these tyres. They were on in the dry, but as soon as it rained these had no grip and it was difficult to put traction down when coming out of junctions. I also did not feel confident in their stopping ability, especially in the wet.

After only 21k miles they had worn down to 3mm. As my rear Agilis had now worn to 2mm (at 55k I’ll add) I decided to change all 4 tyres at the same time. When I ran the numbers I calculated the cost per 1k mile was actually higher with the Falkin than the previous tyres, and with a dramatic decrease in ability.

I would strongly recommend someone to look elsewhere for tyres. There price now means they aren’t even so ‘midrange’ as they use to be, getting close to the cost of premier tyres.

Michelin Agilis CrossClimate rated 96% while driving a Citroën DISPATCH
Driving on mostly country roads for 30000 miles
I have used cross climate on a Citroen Berlingo van and a Citroen dispatch. Both vans did 20k before swapping fronts and rears. Both vans have the same tyres 30k later with plenty of tread remaining. These are the best tyres I've had fitted and they are now all I purchase. I pay roughly £110 per tyre, which isn't cheap but the millage I get makes them great value considering I've had to replace Hancooks after 12k and also had one not so much blow out as completely erupt on the rear of a transit custom.

Triangle AgileX AT TR292 rated NAN% while driving a Mitsubishi
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
I had never heard of these tires before... But since having them will definately be buying them again. They are quieter than I had expected but have stood up to both Highway and dirt tracks I travel on daily. They deliver everything I want in an all terrain tyre and more.

Atlas Green 4S rated 10% while driving a Renault Master (2018)
Driving on track for 15000 easy going miles
Has these tyres in Commercial version at the back of the Luton van for 7/8 months. Then had both blown out within 4 days period. With the first blow out the van was loaded, with the second blow out, the van was empty. Ended up without the wheel to replace as it happened during international trip and used the spare at the first blow out. Luckily the driver and the van are OK, but the tyres should be removed from the market.

Michelin Agilis CrossClimate rated 97% while driving a Renault Master (2018)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Tyres feel great and although not tested in cold weather/snow, they appear to have the quality to carry them through any conditions. A little noisy (low drone) compared to the standard Agilis 51, particularly on hard cornering but not enough of a noise for it to be a problem

Yokohama W drive V905 rated NAN% while driving a Toyota Verso 1.6 D4 D mpv
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 easy going miles
Two winters on these W Drive tyres now. No problems in the snows of winter 2017-18 in a pennine area with gradients and with a steep driveway too. Plenty of grip. Car always feels planted and solid in cornering. Very good wet and slushy braking characteristics. Slightly more noisy than summer Bridgestones in the dry. Definitely would buy again.

Nokian WR D4 rated NAN% while driving a Mazda
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 miles
Very reassuring in extreme wet conditions. Only limited use on snow but worked in the sense that no chains were needed, when several other cars were stuck.

Increased fuel consumption by ca. 10% compared to summer tyres, but some of that difference will be down to temperature.

Weared far quicker than expecting. Two of the four were down to 4mm, and hence no longer suitable for winter use, after less than 8000 miles. This was despite swapping them around and only using in Winter. Summers last over 20000 on this car.

Maxtrek TREK M900 rated 89% while driving a Dodge Caravan
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Second year with those m900 ice (no studs on), I had yokohama IG52 before and I can't realy tell there's a difference. The only difference is more money in my pocket.

Event WL905 rated 84% while driving a Rover 75
Driving on mostly country roads for 20000 average miles
A very good all round tyre.
Reasonably priced, refined which suited the nature of the Rover 75.
Excellent wear rate as the car was mainly driven on A & B roads.
Positive steering feedback.
An excellent tyre.
