245/50 18 Tyre Review Highlights

Nexen N Fera SU1 rated 37% while driving a Infiniti M
Driving on mostly town for 18500 easy going miles
I have this on my recently bought Infiniti M35H, i didnt put them on it came with this tires. All i can say is in curves it feels kinda bad, the car looses grip and u have to take either the curve so slow or to wide or u loose traction. Im gonna change them for a Falken Azenis FK520 in a few days. Also i think these tires dont work well with so heavy cars like mine.

Falken Azenis PT722 rated 71% while driving a BMW X3 3.0dA
Driving on mostly town for 40000 average miles
The most impressive of this falken tyre is the wear. They fitted on my X3 and run 60000+ km of town and city roads, still have 70% of tread. The 4 tyres wear are also even and not particular edge worn. I drive it mostly in the town and city, and a few time of long trips per year. The grip is fine in dry days, but you will be hesitated when you run on wet days. It is slippy when you turn at those round about. You can experience the drifting even climbing up the hill in the rain. Don't risk your life if you live in the hill districts. Lower the tyre preasure is my suggestion if you have to take it to the mountain or country roads. Its comfort and noise are at average level. Hence I will recommend this tyre for those drifting lover, rear wheel drive fans, but please do it in a safe and proper way. Otherwise, this distinctive tyre is an excellent choice for dry weather, long haul and heavy duty.

Michelin Primacy 3 rated 83% while driving a BMW 745LI
Driving on mostly motorways for 50000 average miles
These tryes were the factory fitted types thus went with these for replacement, they have been fantastic, 5 and half years, and 80k kms roughly 50k miles, and they are down to 4.0mm left, so approaching change.

smooth, and the biggest one for me was quiet, and decent handling. The car is a 7 series, so not aiming for the sporty handling, needed it to be smooth and quiet over anything else.

Going to give the Primacy4 a go for the next change, but been extreamly happy with the Primacy 3's/

Duraturn Mozzo Sport rated 83% while driving a Infiniti Q70
Driving on mostly town for 17000 average miles
I bought a set of these, have found them absolutely fine. Both dry and wet grip have been perfectly acceptable, noise is low and wear rate fine. 17,000 miles and just about need replacement as down to 2mm to 3mm. Would definitely buy again, no noticeable difference from the Dunlop's that were fitted other than a third of the price!!

Hankook Kinergy 4S2 rated 82% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Fitted these to our family car a 2015 vw tiguan 4 motion, and they transformed the handling for the better really making the most for vws 4 motion system particularly in bad weather i.e rain/snow it never spun a wheel just gripped and got on with business which for me was piece of mind knowing my wife and kids were in safe hands what ever the weather, dry grip was also impressive as to was the tread life will certainly recommend.

Bridgestone Turanza T005 rated 67% while driving a BMW X3
Driving on a combination of roads for 14000 spirited miles
Had this on BMW X3. The grip is superb on dry and wet condition and brake distance was good only until 20K. It wears off too fast even my driving condition is 60/40 city drive. After 20K, the grip on wet is not as good, very noisy.

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT rated 82% while driving a Mercedes Benz GLA 250
Driving on a combination of roads for 700 average miles
Done the first 1000km on this set and it's much more comfortable and quiet ride compared to the Continental Contact 5 (RFT) that came with the Mercedes GLA 250 (managed to get ~50K kms out of them). Will be good to see the mileage of these Dunlops RFT.

Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 rated 0% while driving a Mercedes Benz GLA45
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
They do not feel as good as my previous set of WS80s. They are louder than the WS80s were and a but harder or rougher feel in dry condition. In cold rain and in ice and snow, they are exactly what is needed. Just disappointed in dry conditions compared to the WS80's I used previously.

Very durable economic tyres. Comfortable but tough in dry days. Wet days can be dramma if you are not slowing down.
