215/65 R17 Tyre Review Highlights
Writing about the Bridgestone Blizzak 6
rated 95%
excellent grip on snow and ice , better grip than blizzaks 5 when cornering . tried them in moutain roads by -12 degrees C , going uphill (10%) on 5cm snow: no problem. I used Konig chains in 20cm snow because the snow plow hadn't cleared the way ...

Writing about the Toyo Open Country UT
rated 27%
Got them with a used car, fitted brand new by the dealer. By far the worst tyres I've ever driven on. Literally the only good thing I can say about them is that they are quiet - on good, sealed, recently tarred roads, that is. On anything else, especially coarse chip, they become very noisy. They aquaplane scarily early, compared even to GitiSynergy H2s (which themselves aren't exactly the last word either) of similar size. Handling is lacklustre too; the steering feel is non-existent and any attempt to take corners at a "fun" speed results in nasty surprises when approaching the limit. I suspect these tyres have been asked to do too many things at once and Toyo should stick to tyres that either do urban well, or country well, but not both.

Writing about the General Altimax 365AW
rated 76%
Put these tires on my wife's AWD van after seeing good reviews on Consumer Reports. It's an all weather tire so we leave it on year round. Winter snow and ice grip has been surprisingly good. Getting us through some pretty nasty snow storm here in the mountains of BC (Canada). Summer performance is pretty average but fine for our camperized van.

Writing about the Petlas Explero W671
rated 60%
My car is a Skoda Kodiaq. I bought it in 2017. I used it with a separate set of wheels. My storage conditions are perfect. These are my first snow tires for this car (2040 km). I used them at the end of 2024 (16590 km). I can say there is no excessive wear (tread depth).
For two years, their performance in snow and wet conditions was average. After that, they hardened quickly. Noise increased. Road grip decreased. I used them with caution, especially in puddles.
Still, I used them on the roads between Bolu, Turkey - Abant and Kartalkaya. They didn't let me down in the snow. I didn't use chains.
A good price/performance product.

Writing about the Continental VikingContact 7
rated 88%
Stopping on frozen snow or slippery surfaces is the tire's biggest drawback. The ABS engages immediately, but the car continues to slide mercilessly. I have them on a 2020 Tiguan 4Motion. Very disappointing. I can only advise reducing your speed very early at intersections and traffic lights, otherwise you'll slide mercilessly over them. Until recently, I had a Touareg with Nokian Nordman 7 tires. Something like that never happened to me.

Poor Wet Grip with compared with Michelin and Contis and the tyre aquaplaned even in very little water accumulated on the road.

At 45,000 miles on this set , no punctures , still performing like they are new even when hitting deep puddles , down to under half the tread they had when new , just awesome tyres.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125
rated 83%
I’ve used them for two summers in Sweden, driven about 55000km and they still have some useful tread left. None of the tyres are below 4.5mm. They are more of an comfortable tyre than a sporty but they grip well and have never let me down this far

Replacing these tyres after 48.000 km and still 3.5 mm tread by Michelins. Had two punctures and found contiseal technology quite useful.

I find these tyres to be very comfortable, which is why I got them. I drive 200km to work, five days a week and I can’t find anything wrong with them so far. I’ve driven approximately 35000km since I bought this set and it has hardly worn at all and they have never disappointed

Writing about the Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV
rated 58%
Bought this tyre after reading some very positive tyre tests for 4x4 suv's. Normally I drive all seasons from september until end of march because we have very moderate winter weather in the Netherlands. These Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV were put on a bit early at the end of februari because the allweathers were at their end.
This was a bit of a mistake..... These EfficientGrip 2 SUV don't like cold/rainy weather. I expected better grip but the car is sliding in corners and loses grip when driving away (high torque diesel). I really have to drive carefully in the rain because the Jeep Renegade awd system kicks in when the front loses grip.
In the dry these Goodyear are very good and comfortable. Perfect for holiday travels during the summer....
But i also use the Trailhawk on muddy gravel roads and wet grass meadows. In tyre tests this EfficientGrip 2 SUV should be top of the range for "moderate off road use", but this is not my experience. No grip at all! So don't try to take a trailer into a meadow or on a bit muddy/wet gravel trail, you'll get stuck....
In my opinion this tyre is probably best suitable for warmer regions.
