225/55 17 Tyre Review Highlights

Pirelli Powergy rated 0% while driving a Mercedes Benz Vito
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Very disappointed with the tread depth on these as new tyres.
Brand new and only 6mm of tread. My Michelins on the rear of my van still have 7mm and have covered 20k already. I expect these Pirelli’s will need replacing this time next year. Not good enough, £50 a tyre cheaper than the Michelins. Pay the extra and get Michelin. Best all rounders and last, I predict 3 times longer !

Continental UltraContact UC7 rated 38% while driving a Subaru Forester
Driving on mostly motorways for 400 miles
My UC7 Continnental tyres are two weeks old.
Initially they appeared very good for local driving.
During a trip on the M1,, Sydney to Gosford, the vehicle. , Subaru Forester was floating badly and needed constant correction, so much so passengers commented. It was very uncomfortable and the only thing this normally great handling vehicle has haad is these new crap tyres. At 100kph wandering was so bad, we reduced speed to 90.

Dunlop Econodrive rated 23% while driving a Mercedes Benz Vito
Driving on mostly motorways for 15000 average miles
Noisy tyres & harsh ride on Vito van
Mainly used for highway travel with light loads.
Front tyres fracturing badly at 25,000 km with chunks of tread missing.

Toyo Proxes CF1 rated 79% while driving a Honda Odyssey JDM
Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 average miles
For a daily drive car, more concern with comfort, fuel economy and quietness, this is the tyre. No aqua planning even at 30%, but grip is average on wet surface.

BFGoodrich Advantage Control HT rated 80% while driving a Holden adventra
Driving on mostly town for 1000 easy going miles
Put a set of these (225/55R17 101W) on a Holden Adventra, have only done a few thousand kilometers so far but initial impressions are very good. They were the cheapest option of the real tyre brands and with BF Goodrich being part of Michelin I figured they should be a decent tyre. They have plenty of tread and full depth sipes which should help keep wet braking performance as they wear down. They feel plush/comfortable to drive on and I haven't had issues with traction in the dry or wet but keep in mind being driven on public roads and being an AWD car they haven't gotten anywhere near the limit. Noise levels are good, oddly I'd say they are quieter than average on smooth surfaces but slightly louder than average on coarse surfaces, by no means 'noisey' though. Fuel economy is about the same as the tyres they replaced (a combined set of Zetum and Rapid tyres approx 50% worn). Early days so cannot comment on treadwear, but the rating is 600. I was a little surpised that the UTQG traction rating is a 'B' but I'm not sure how much this means. Based on the performance I've seen to date I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again, but in reality would probably try something different just for the sake of variety.

Dunlop SP Sport LM 705 rated 83% while driving a Mazda 6
Driving on a combination of roads for 50000 average miles
I've done 1,500 kilometers on these tires and so far they've performed wonderfully, both in dry and wet conditions. I haven't had any problems. Obviously, I haven't pushed them to their limits and I don't think I will. In normal driving, there are no complaints. On the contrary, what surprises me most is their smoothness. When going over speed bumps, potholes, etc., it's wonderful, it's as if I had installed the best shock absorbers.

Double Coin DC99 rated 14% while driving a Opel insignia
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
It came with the car when I bought it, it's on front axle, I had a few cars with different tyres, but these are the worst.
It should be illegal on public roads.
Very very little grip.

Dunlop SP Sport LM 705 rated 80% while driving a Mazda 6
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
I mounted them yesterday and went out for a test drive. It was a very rainy day. I took tight corners at 90 km/h and didn't feel the car lose stability or control. I'm coming from Toyo Proxes Sport 1s, which felt better in wet corners, but these tires perform well and are very good value.
Now, if anyone wants to take corners at 150 km/h in the rain, before looking for a good tire, they should consult a psychologist. Cheers.

Goodyear EfficientGrip rated 77% while driving a Skoda Octavia estate
Driving on a combination of roads for 19000 average miles
I generally liked these tyres. No complaints about grip or handling in wet or dry conditions. However I have just replaced them with a different make of tyre due to the number of punctures I’ve suffered in the last few months. I know our roads aren’t great but the EfficientGrips seem to be particularly susceptible, especially in the sidewalls. The latest puncture, which rendered a front type scrap, was caused by a thorn which frankly should not have been able to penetrate a tyre! When removed I could easily snap the thorn by hand. I could have again bought a new EfficientGrip but decided against (three of my tyres had 4.5mm tread left) and have swapped to a different make.

General Altimax Arctic 12 rated 89% while driving a Infiniti G37
Driving on mostly town for 500 spirited miles
I’ve been using the General Tire Altimax Arctic 12 (studded ) this winter, and they’ve been a game-changer in harsh conditions. The **traction on ice and packed snow is outstanding**, giving me confidence even on slippery roads. The studs really help with stability, especially when braking or cornering on black ice.

One thing that really impressed me is the **wet traction in cold temperatures**. Unlike some winter tires that can feel slippery in slushy or rainy conditions, these handle wet roads **very well**, maintaining control and grip.

In deep snow, they also perform impressively, keeping the car stable and predictable. One downside is that, like most studded tires, they are **noisy on dry pavement**. However, that’s a small trade-off for the **safety and performance they provide** in extreme winter conditions.

Overall, if you need **serious winter traction** with **great wet performance in the cold**, the **Altimax Arctic 12 (studded)** is a solid choice. Just be prepared for some road noise on clear days!

Yokohama Geolandar CS 4S G061 rated 80% while driving a Suzuki vitara s 1,4 boosterjet
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
Excellent tyre! Outperforms other medium summer tyres in wet and dry performance, and its aggressive tread pattern drives specially well on mud/forest tracks. One thing to consider is that the sidewalls are stiff, so lots of road feedback (also very precise cornering).
