Lotus Proton GEN2 Persona Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Achilles ATR Sport 2 given 89% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 700 average miles
use this tyres for 1000km plus. few the tyres quite comfortable compare before changing the tyres. the dry grip is superb... but when Heavy rain, just drive below 100km/h to keep you safe. the brake respond is very good.

Writing about the Dunlop Sport BluResponse given 90% (185-60-15-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
Chosen to replace average 'summer' original-fit 195/60 Silverstone NS500 as theoreticaly the best tyres available for this type of good-handling saloon at present, regardless of cost.

Two other very good candidates, (that I've had experience of) were Goodyear Excellence and Uniroyal Rainexpert, but all reviews implied BluResponse as
being better.

Not surprisingly these Dunlops seem to be excellent in all respects and quieter than both the Silverstones on rougher roads and in this case even the very good 185/65 Michelin Alpin A4's I use in winter on this car, (the earlier Alpin A3's may be quieter?)
On smooth asphalt there is some 'wind woosh' due to their wide main water channels, (only 3 on this tyre size, not 4 as the image) but overall no noisier.


Other highlights include the braking performance and also the ride quality - as good as the winter Michelins on 'big' bumps and better when dealing with smaller imperfections.
Seem unlikely to last quite as long as either previous tyre mentioned, but I'm not bothered - they are only averagely priced and it's their superior performance that counts.

Writing about the Michelin Alpin A4 given 83% (185-65-15-T)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
Bought a set of A4's last year - so new then that Michelin UK had'nt yet listed them on their website. Car is a good-handling mid-size 1.6 family saloon and I had these fitted to an old set of 6x15" alloy wheels for convenience.
Chose a modest width to help with traction/rim stability and deeper sidewalls to help the ride comfort/ground clearence.
These tyres have proven a sound investment. As good as you could hope for in the snowy/slushy stuff and confidence-inspiring in more usual wet conditions. As usual with Michelins, the wear rates are very low, I expect these to last at least 3 cold seasons
- but an unexpected bonus was the slightly quieter ride these offer over the mid-range summer tyres normaly fitted.
Rolling resistance is higher of course, but fuel economy only suffers about 3% and the trade-off in extra grip and safety is well worth it.

Writing about the Silverstone KRUIZER 1 NS500 given 66% (195-60-15-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15 spirited miles
Proton's 'comfort-biased' choice on this family saloon, fitted on mine when new. Generaly OK and quieter than the GY NCT5 often specified as an alterative, although they can rumble on washboard surfaces. Not at all bad and have lasted well so far, but no strong reason for me to choose over a better/more expensive option when the time comes.
