Best Tyres for the Ford Fiesta

unfortunately the pattern on the Toyo Proxes CF2 pick up and follow grooves in the road which is especially dangerous on a motorways when they've been cutting in new sections of road with old. the tyre wear was also quite poor with feathering on the outer edges too. the initial 10k was on the rear (Fiestas don't wear the rears) and about 11k on the front. had the tracking checked but no issues.
I've now got Kumho Ecsta HS52 195/55/15 on all 4 corners which is a better tyre in every aspect - they are supposed to be a little noisier but we can't tell any difference, fuel economy and wet grip is about the same but dry grip is somewhat better and there's no nasties either.

After reading the reviews on these tyres, which are mostly negative, I must say I did not experienced any drama on any road surfaces in the dry or in the wet. The Firemax were fitted (new) when I purchased the car from Furrows, they are quiet both in town and on the motorway, I drive safely and respect speed signs and average 47 miles per gallon, for me, the worst aspect is wear, only 17000 miles driven and the front tyres are worn out to the 1.6 legal limit while the rear tyres still have some tread, I will not buy these budget tyres again. I will put the Falken ZIEX ZE320 on the car since they have excellent reviews and are very well priced, I will review the Falken after I drove a few thousands miles.

Amazing in everything snow mud ice dry/wet tarmac etc. good on and offroad

Really ideal on wet surfaces but I can't say it's resistant to potholes. The inner sidewall of my tire cracked. It cost me a lot. Other than that, I'm satisfied.

The tire performs excellently in all conditions except on ice and packed snow. It was solid for the first two winters, started to lose performance by the third, and by the fourth winter, I didn't feel very confident on snow and ice. However, it is excellent in rain, slush, and dry conditions. After 57,000 km, the tread depth is still 5.2 mm and 4.2 mm; I didn't rotate them regularly. If it were just a bit better on snow and ice, I wouldn't even consider another option.

I cannot recommend these tyres they are terrible on life span, maybe the worst ever in 50 years driving, sidewall cracked and fell apart after two years exposing cords , tred depth fine
Had six tyres in total all of them went the same way tried to claim under warranty but Mr Tyre would have none of it and said it was normal perished due to winter ect , never ever again will I use these tyres or Mr Tyres.

I put these tires on my Fiesta ST to replace worn and old Pirelli P Zero Nero on the back, and viking pro tech newgen on the front. I bought the car with these mismatched tires.

The Kumhos offer excellent dry and wet grip, okay comfort for a 40 sidewall. Still too jiggly for my liking, but that is not the tire's fault. Progressiveness at the limit dry and wet is amazing, very easy to correct, if you get it to break loose at all. You really have to throw the car into a sharp corner to get the back to come around. When you do, you feel the sidewall flex quite a bit, and then the tire progressively lets go. On my Fiesta ST, the car will also lift the inside rear wheel quite easily like this.

At Autoslalom (AutoX), the tire shows its soft carcass even more. I experienced a lot of low speed understeer, and the tire showed clear marks of rolling onto the sidewall multiple centimeters. The outer tread blocks showed diagonal wear on the outer edges of the blocks.

While the tire is great for grip and progressiveness, and noise isn't too intrusive, I am disappointed in the soft sidewall on this 40 series tire. Steering feel isn't great due to this either. To me this tire feels like a very good daily driver with buckets of grip, but without a real sporty edge at the limit.

Tyres didn’t quite last as long as I would have liked. Slightly numb on the steering. I changed to Eagle F1s and they are much better in the wet and feedback. But they were a lot more money. So if I’m looking to save again. Falkens will be more than fine

Tires are spongy, imprecise, indirect, and very unsporty on dry roads. They are quiet and save fuel. In wet conditions, they are average and completely okay. Despite AAA and BMW * approval, they do not fit a sporty front-wheel drive car like a Fiesta MH 155 HP. Very affordable and completely fine for everyday use. Sportiness compared to Continental PremiumContact 6 or Bridgestone Potenza Sport is non-existent.

One year and approx. 10.000 miles later, the Hankooks are still unbeleivable. Mega grip in wet and dry conditions still much better then the Michelin's, in the winter I have use other tyres. Comfort wise, noise is still lesser then the OEM Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, the ride is not as good as the Michelin's but still very good, as far a 18" 40 series tyr can be comfortable.
The wear is as far as it looks until now better then the Michelin's too.
