Kia Motors ceed Tyre Review Highlights
The grip is out of this word... The car has tons of grip and gives you SOO much confidence in the rain. My previous tyres (Triangle) were horrendous in the rain. At the end of their life, I was scared when it started raining, now, i'm more than confident driving.
It is a wonderful tyre, In UK heat wave, wet weather, never lose grip. even a ski trip in Austria, it did a very good job.

Good value all season tyre. Good grip on wet muddy roads. Good grip in the dry but can be Slightly noisy compared to other all season tyres but nothing over the top.

Good tyres, had them for 5 years and about 30k km on a Kia Ceed 2020. They handle well both on wet and dry, they stick to the road in curves, nothing to complain about.
The only downside is the little cracks that appeared with time, I've seen the same on a very similar Kormoran tyre, it's just the rubber getting old. 100% would buy it again.

Had these tires on my KIA Cee'd SW 2018 for a couple of years and while they're really great in terms road feedback, handling and sportiness and of course grip levels, they lack veeeeery much in the comfort and noise department. That actually made change them before I really had to, I simply couldn't stand it anymore. Granted my car isn't the best when it comes to sound insulation and such but it was really annoying.
It's a great tire if you don't care about comfort and noise.
They've been replaced with Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance2.

I've recently put these tires on my KIA Cee'd SW from 2018, they're miles better than my previous Continental PremiumContact6. Especially in terms of comfort and noise they are not even comparable. I know from tests and having used them on my previous car as well that they perform really well all around.
I'm using the 91H verison and no the V rated version because I really want the best comfort available, and H speed rating is recommended in this size from KIA.
100% recommended if you want a tire focused on comfort and noise and also performs really well.

They are on my Kia Ceed 2016 1.6 GDI since brand new. The performance seems to be consistent by the years. (car kept in garage all its life and driven easy till i got it a year ago from my dad) Snow performence is not bad, but oh boy, dry and wet is something. For normal driving conditions it seems to be quite alright. If your driving pace is just about standard. I had several situations, when i had to brake or steer heavily and the response was not the best. Skidding and when breaking, the car just kept going while ABS was going crazy.
So average driving is pretty alright, but cautious driving is advised. Had different car with the same tyre size and for example the Pirellis were much more predictable and better on hard brakes on dry and wet roads. Not getting them again. If you are on the budget and you know its weaknesses, it could be fine to get them.
tires had the same performance since new to this day (+-5,5 mm after 35k km of easy driving)

3 seasons, 17k km per season ~ 52k km - down to 3.3mm (I tend to replace tires after 3 seasons / 50k km)
As other mentioned, the wet grip decreased by the end of the 3rd year but it was not dangerous in any way. Top brands might have more consistent grip through the years / km driven but you get what you payed for.
What I like is the predictive loss of grip in tight corners - I always know how close I am to the max speed the tire can handle without going into uncontrolled understeer.
Rather soft & weak sidewall - not paying attention while parking next to a high curb can be an issue for some.
Higher noise during the last season & cold weather - especially on rough road surface (the Balkans :) )

An exceptional tyre for the price point at which it is found at.
The dry and wet grips are perfect for the pace at which I drive.
It give more confidence and I can take corners at slightly higher speeds than on some budget tires.
The comfort is pretty good and the noise levels are much better, compared to a winter tire.
I'd buy this tyre again in a heartbeat.

I had these tires for approximately 2000 miles (3200 km) and I love them.
The dry grip is exceptional for these kind of dimensions on the tyre.
The wet grip is pretty good.
I've found that when braking on a thin layer of snow, in -7 degrees, the tires felt mushy, but I guess it is expected, since it is a softer composite vs summer tires.
I'd buy them anytime for any car, especially if the needed dimensions are lower I'd rather spend money on these premium tires than on something budget.
It is a moderately dry climate in which I am in, so no snow or ice grip experiences with this one.

I have driven the Falken EUROALL SEASON AS210 tyres around 7000 km so far in summer and autumn conditions (it's 22.10.2024 today) and I can say that I am completely satisfied with the choice I made when buying these tyres.
I paid 380 EUR to have them mounted (4 x 205/55 R16) and for this price I believe that you will have a hard time finding better value for money.
I had Michelin Cross Climate 2 before these for 59.000 km (swapped the front ones with new ones once during those km) and overall I didn't find any noticeable difference between the Falkens and the Michelins.
Dry grip is almost the same, wet grip is just a little bit better for the Falkens and high speed stability on the German Autobahn favors the Falkens in both dry and wet driving conditions, but only with a small advantage.
I didn't realize any noise difference between the 2 sets even at 180 km/h on the German Autobahn but I didn't measure the decibels, to be honest.
I have noticed a slight wear "advantage" for the front tyres because my car is FWD, but nothing special because I don't race anyone from the traffic lights.
Overall, I would say that you can't go wrong with these Falken all season tyres.

I have them for 3 years and almost 40k km. The tyre is very good on dry roads and it's very quiet. Also the wear is pretty good. But it's not the same tyre on wet roads. You have to be a little more concentrated while driving high speeds on wet roads.
