225/55 R18 Tyre Review Highlights
Writing about the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3
rated 73%
Quiet tyre, good dry and very good wet handling even in deep water.
Road impacts are transmitted harshly, maybe because it's XL rated, it was the only option available in 235/55R18 size.
My mistake, I won't buy XL again for my Subaru Forester.

Writing about the Hankook Dynapro HP2
rated 42%
These are on a 2006 Lexus RX400H I just bought.
They ride and handle well on dry pavement, and even did OK in the snow we had this winter.
The wet pavement performance is horrible, though, on the verge of being dangerous.
Taking roundabouts in the rain, I can feel the front end wanting to plow straight.
Also, making an emergency stop when someone pulled out in front of me, my car slid between the antilock brakes trying to do their job.
My other daily driver, up till I got this car, is a 2002 Ford F150, and it would not have had any issues in the situations where this car slides on these tires.
I will be shopping for a replacement tire, even though having new tires was one of the reasons I bought this car.
These tires are not safe in the rain.

Writing about the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport
rated 87%
OEM on my Subaru Forester in Thailand. They seem to do everything very well. It's not a fast car, but they handle hot dry and wet conditions well and better than I expected given some other reviews, the grip levels on this fitment are excellent, especially in the dry. Ride comfort is fine, but the car itself might flatter here. Slight shoulder wear on fronts at 15k miles, but nothing concerning. I would buy again depending on the deal, but there's a lot of choice in this tyre size.

Writing about the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport

This is in particular review of the Sport AS variant, which is available outside of EU and is OEM fit to my car.
This is one dull tire.
I have driven another, but modern, European style allseason tire, Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and it such a different experience. CrosClimate 2 feels like a good touring tire in both wet and dry, with okish usability in mild snow, Dueler H/P is anything but.
In the dry, with road temperatures over 7 degrees:
- It slips under acceleration and easily overwhelmed, especially is some steering angle is applied.
- Braking distance is good.
- The tire is soft and absorbs bumps easily.
- Handling is slow and inert, with the tire feeling like it is bending in the sidewall, before transferring the input to the ground.
In the wet, with temperatures over 7 degrees, it actually behaves the best. Since you are not pushing for the handling, great braking distances and limited slip makes them feel planted.
In the dry, but below 7 degrees and up to the negative temperatures, the tire behaves ok and comfortable with soft sidewalls contributing to plush ride.
In the wet, below 7 degrees and in the negative, the tire slips under acceleration quite easily and brakes traction, but brakes decently.
In the snow, the tire is totally hopeless.
Bridgestone advertises it with slogans like "Spruce up your sports truck or SUV with the high-performance Dueler H/P Sports AS tires. Engineered to give you the confidence to perform on wet and dry surfaces as well as handle changing conditions with ease", but in all honesty, this feels like a tire from a bygone era, where all year tires were the norm.
Would not recommend even as a summer tire, let alone as a winter one.
If you are after an AllSeason tire, chose something European, like CrossClimate or similar.

Writing about the Falken Euroall Season AS220 Pro
rated 91%
Car handels very well on this tyres. It's C5 Aircross.
They are quiet, comfortable and predictable. Grip and braking is very good on dry and wet. Tried them on snow in steep climbs, full throttle in second speed and no wheel spin or traction control activation so excellent grip on snow.
Can't say on ice and can't comment wear because I've got them for two months and 1500 km.
Overall they are little more expensive than Kleber quadraxler or Kumho all season tyres but I think it's worth it because of comfort, handling and noise they offer.

Initial thoughts are these are a decent budget tyre, gripped fine in the snow and slush over the weekend and were decent enough in the rain today. Can’t fault them for the price.

Writing about the Continental VikingContact 6
rated 64%
starting with weak points: squeaks on dry, warm tarmac (my wifes drives them all year long since 3 years), there's no road feeling, on wet are only average. We got the car to drive on snow in the mountains and... oh boy, they are awesome. There's no road, up hill, down hill, when I lost control on snow. They just go. If someone's looking for true winter/mountain tyres, should have them. Their durability is also impresive - as I wrote, my wife uses them all year long, more in winter, less in summer, but after 20000 km, much of them on warm, summer days, they are still looking very good.

Writing about the Dunlop Sport Maxx 050 Plus
rated 25%
My overriding interest is in a quiet, comfortable ride.
I have a new Honda ZR-V Advance (Oct 2025) with which I am pleased, BUT it is fitted with Dunlop SP Sport MAX 050 225/55 R18
The ride is too noisy for me, and rather harsh. The tyres let the car down.
(I had a good test drive in another ZR-V which was not nearly as rough riding, but I didn't note its tyres unfortunately).
I shall change the wheels to 215/60 R17 and fit them with Michelin Cross Climate 2 or 3s.
Experience on a Jaguar XJ6 V6 and a Porsche Macan tells me that that goes a long way to fixing the problem !

I bought my car with these on and very worn but as I do 5/6000 miles per year and they are not illegal we kept them .We live in Finland and the conditions are harsh at times .Now they are ready for changing as we have seperate tyres for winter ,it is September here .I do not understand the feedback on here as I used to rally drive and love nothing more than good acceleration ,we drive twisty tarmac and gravel roads and these tyres have caused me no problems at all .With 2mm of tread left I still can't get the traction control on ! I would buy them again in the blink of an eye .The downside is that they are noisy and as our profile is quite low that doesn't help . Our car is a Ford kuga 2 litre diesel 4wd so heavy enough to test them and they have been great . I am on the net now searching for them .
