Best Tyres for the Opel Astra 1.4

It's going ok...
I relied on 67db and was disappointed.
Poor handling.
It depends on the road surface; sometimes they are very quiet, sometimes very loud to drive on.
I will never buy it again.

Pretty good for budget tyres, great wear life and acceptable performance in dry and wet.

Not a tyre you would want to fit for heavy duty or push too hard in poor conditions as it tended to slip when pushed hard.

Road noise was a bit loud too but can't complain for the prices

immediately after installation I noticed that it has very strong and good sidewalls, it holds the height of the front of the vehicle well, which despite the weight of the engine does not drop that low. The tire is a little harder after 2 years and probably therefore a little louder and less comfortable. However, overall it is a higher class winter tire, good grip on all surfaces snow, ice and rain. The handling is also quite direct and offers enough feedback.

8yr old tire on a semi rainy day. Chased a new Q8 down the alps. He moved over after 10mins, couldn't handle the pressure from the rear.
Best bang for the buck.

Once I install them ,I notice a huge difference in noise verses contentail one. The tire has very low sound . The nice design also gives a good look for the car . I recommend them .

Bought 4 Falken PL15 195/60R15 88H ZIEX ZE 914 ECORUN in 2017 (50€ each). They were on Astra G 1.4 90 HP for 30 000 kms and they feel much better then previous Dunlop SP, especially on rain. Tyre wear is minimal (1 mm per year or 9000 km). 4.5 to 5.5 mm is left on tyre tread.

Iv been puting uniroyals on my car since i first discoverd them 3 years ago they are the best tyre iv found iv tryed many tyres from continetals and michelin iv never found a tyre quite like the uniroyal rainsport 3 they have u beliveable grip in conors no mater the weather can drive threw a puddle at road speed with no hands on the stering wheel and the car will drive stright threw no hasitaion in streering the confidence and peice of mind in connors and wet weather once u go uniroyal u wount go back i recomend thease tyre to everyone .

I've been driving on these tyres for nearly 4000 kms. Comfort and noise is really impressing after my old Hankook Ventus s2. The steering feels softer and more responsive; however the softer feeling is definitely a negative thing for a keen driver like me. I can't say much about wet braking, I haven't had the chance to try, but dry braking is very very good indeed, the car just doesn't need any abs with this set of tyres.
The final and most important part is that these continental premiumcontact 6 just doesn't handle as well and progressive as my previous Hankook Ventus s2. This caused a dramatic disappoinment actually. I just didn't get used to this lack of handling quality, and I began to consider changing the tyres. I can't corner with these continentals as well and sharp as mu previous Hankooks. It feels like with these continentals my car is a completely different car. Perhaps the reason is the soft sidewall, I don't know. Also, when you're going straight on the highway, the steering needs small adjustments in order to go straight and precise. It is about lateral stability perhaps.
For short; comfortable, quiet but absolutely not sporty, not quite precise and sharp.
Ams tyre test is definitely right about this premium contact 6. The tyre has just 3 water canals, I think this is why it tends to understeer or oversteer in the wet. This understeering and oversteering never occurred with my hankooks.
This tyre needs an immediate update and for the most part I regret my decision on continental premium contact 6.

the best tyres ever fitted in this car.they last easily 80k km.excellent in wet and very informative. in dry give all the information you need to feel safe even when you ride fast. not very comfortable but i care more for safety and lifespan. i have used also continental sportcontact2.extremelly dissapointed from continentals. good in wet,awful in dry as always abs is on in hard braking. their lifespan was also disapointed.they lasted 50k kms. i will definatelly buy again the er300 and not continentals.

The best tires where i ever have !!! Excellent in all drivinig contiontions !!
