Michelin Symmetry 250/60 R16 Kia Motors Sportage 58 miles May 17, 2012
I've had my tyres for about 58k miles and they did the job they were supposed to do. They were supposed to last for 65k miles, and I would say I've been OK with looking after them, and rotating them, etc. I wish they had lasted longer, but they did a great job of keeping the car on the road in a variety of weather conditions, and I always felt safe with their handling.

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.
