Citroën C5 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Sava Intensa UHP 2 given 64% (225-55-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 average miles
Very soft Tires. Quiet on the road. Little vague on stegring feedback, but very comfortable. Easy to balance when fitting tire on rim. The sidevalls are to soft for being extra load tires. Need to compensate, by adding higher airpressure (2.8)than on previous Goodyear tires (2.5) These are fitted on a Citroën C5 V6 HDI, and mainly used for highway. The car is very heavy in the front, we will see how they cope in the long run. However, overall a good tire sofar. GMY Dan.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 given 61% (225-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 spirited miles
Did about 30.000km on them, before them I had the GY EfficientGrip (101 XL) and they were much, much better for my car. With the F1s I had a handling issue as the side wall appeared to be to soft (97 load index, no XL) and the car went all wobbly when going over pot holes. Likewise the car was unstable when making fast lane change maneuvers, it did a boat wobble which I hate. Looks like they are not suited for big sedans in this dimension, if you like driving a bit friskier. Also they wore quite fast and after 3 seasons they had to be replaced as the front had only 3mm left (I did switch front/rear every year). The braking was good in dry and wet. Will be looking at other tires this year. I also noticed a dip in the middle of the tire when I took them of the wheels.

Driving on a combination of roads for 0 easy going miles
This tyre had only 7mm tread depth from new, compared with the normal 8mm. In fact, I had the tyre fitted at the same time as the MOT, and the examiner recorded 7mm tread depth and "84% tread remaining" even though it was brand new. On that basis the tyre is 16% less value than an 8mm new depth.

Driving on mostly country roads for 6500 spirited miles
I bought an undriven old set of those - 20 year old tyres!!! DOT 01-02! They were OE on Citroen C5, and I found 4 that were used as spares and untouched, but ancient. The tyre has had amazing grip in dry and wet, shockingly short brake distances, and is barely worn after 10k km. Greatly impressed with those!

Writing about the Blacklion BH15 given 89% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 easy going miles
Best budget tire ever had.
Fitted under a 2012 Citroen C5, it further improves the very good comfort of the car, because it doesn't make any noise, outside and inside.
Dry grip is great, wet grip is very good, also at highway speed. No grip issues while braking, cornering and accelerating.
The only downside is that, like 99% of Chinese tires, the shoulder structure is soft: I always inflate them at max load, according tire label stuck on the car, in order to have a more reactive responsive and better handling and not to have a flat tire look.

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate given 39% (245-45-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
These were on the car when I bought it and about 2/3rds worn. I've since driven 5000miles and am not impressed - just very disappointed. In fact they are downright dangerous in the wet - the front skates about and the steering goes light as though driving on ice. There was about 2.5mm tread, no uneven wear, and pressures were correct but the last tyres that were this bad were budget ones (Acceleras) not premium ones. I had the fronts replaced with Dunlop Sportmax RT2 and now I have great grip - almost as good as on a dry surface and they were £40 less than replacing them with Crossclimates again.

Writing about the Nokian WR D4 given 87% (225-55-17-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 spirited miles
If you use that tyre with correct pressure, you can not complain about any other items and no need to look for any other tyres for winter. I had lost first 4mm after 9000 km by 32 psi. Then i increased the pressure to 35 psi and lost other 3 mm after 14.000 km. For wet, dry and snow i cannot offer any other tyre since i had almost used 12 different tyres in winters and covered more than 200k km. for ice, performance is a little bit behind of UG and Alpin.

Writing about the Lassa Impetus Revo 2 Plus given 87% (225-55-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
If you have any idea about roads in Turkey, that tyre will definitely your first option. You can drive on town, highway, fresh asphalt and broken roads and daily temperature changes reach up to 20-25 celcius in a day. Since road are quite challenging for a tyre, Lassa developed that tyre for extreme challenging roads. I had used more than 10 different brands in past and Impetus can be defined as the most stable one between them. Since tyres are quite stiff, you can put the comfort a little bit aside. Dry performance is better that wet one. Impressive thing is the wear by 5 mm after covering 40.000-45.000 km on that challenging roads. If you prefer tyre life and dry performance instead of comfort and wet performance, that one is your tyre
