Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport 225/35 R19 Mercedes Benz A45 S AMG 1,500 miles October 12, 2026

These are the first all-season tyres I’ve purchased, mainly because I had a contract in Montrose so had a weekly drive between Edinburgh and Montrose. Most of the journey is motorway driving in wet conditions, with a fair amount of B-road driving as well.

I’ve noticed a huge improvement over the Continental SportContact 7s normally fitted to my A45 S, particularly in terms of aquaplaning resistance, wet braking and overall handling. The car feels much more confidence-inspiring during the winter months.

Driving in heavy rain has also been noticeably less stressful. With the SportContact 7s, standing water and very wet motorway conditions would often cause me some concern, whereas with these all-season tyres the car feels far more planted and predictable.

For my type of winter driving, the improvement in wet-weather confidence has been significant.

Pirelli Powergy 225/35 R19 Volkswagen Golf GTI 7.5 8,000 miles September 20, 2026

Used for Daily short trips and occasional longer journeys.
Im pleased with way they have performed, but they are a bit noisier than the Good Years I had before

Sumitomo HTR Z5 225/35 R19 Honda Civic Type R 11,000 miles May 21, 2026

These tyres have survived 2 trips across Europe to the Nurburgring, then completed wet and dry laps at pace! Plus daily use over a period of 12 months. Tread wear is an even 5-6mm across all 4 tyres at 11k miles. Fairly impressive due to the low price point! Not recommended for track use, but will definitely stand up to some abuse.

Pace ALVENTI Pace 225/35 R19 Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance Mk. 7.5 6,000 miles February 18, 2026

These tyres generally perform well in everyday driving under average conditions. For the prices, they are a reasonably good buy but knowing that they are a budget tyre I haven't tried to push them and driven very conservatively in adverse conditions.

The issue I have is that one tyre kept losing air. I would just pump it up and a few months later my car would give me the same warning light. Then the warning light would appear after about a month then about a fortnight later. I couldn't se anything wrong but fearing I had a puncture, I took it to get repaired. What the tyre repair place showed me was that there were two bulges on the inner side of the tyre. I thought to myself what would happen if this tyre exploded at highway speed? Never will I buy cheap unknown tyres (these tyres came with the used car that I bought about 12 months ago).

I'm going back to the well know premium brands, looking at Michelin Pilot Sport 5 as a replacement. If you are considering these tyres, ask yourself how much is your life worth?

Sumitomo HTR Z III 225/35 R19 Honda Civic Type R 5,000 miles September 7, 2025

Probably more extreme use than most owners will ever see, but ran a set of these on my CTR. Completed 4 laps (with cool down in between) of the Nordschleife. This was back in April, and have ran them since! At present there is minimal wear after nearly 5k of hard driving! Purchased these mainly due to the impressively low price point, but they're definitely on a par with some of the "premium" brands. For a daily driver... highly recommended.

Sumitomo HTR Z5 225/35 R19 Honda Civic Type R 2,000 miles April 23, 2025

Having just completed a trip across Europe to the Nurburgring, then completed laps, these tyres held up extremely well. Although not designed for track use, the grip levels remained high and the wear is virtually nil. Am very impressed for the price point! If on a budget, then would recommend! 8/10.

Davanti Protoura Sport 225/35 R19 BMW 320D M Sport 10 miles February 12, 2025

These were fitted by the terrible Kwik Fit (once bitten etc), and they’ve never felt solid on the road from the start. They’re on the rear of my rear wheel drive BMW and they feel skittish to the point of making me nervous when corning and going round islands. I felt the back end slide out on a corner a week ago and looked at the tyres when home and five months of use has left them on the very final stages of wear. I mostly use eco pro mode to save fuel on motorways so I’m far from a racer. I’ll be avoiding these from now on.

Yokohama Advan Sport V107 225/35 R19 Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance Mk. 7.5 September 22, 2024

I think these are good tyres, both in the dry and wet, however when very cold they loose some of there confidence inspiring grip. I’m a little on the fence with there longevity, but I do like them
