Best Tyres for the Opel Astra h 1.6

Dry rotting began at around 2 years, and has gotten very bad at the 3 year mark. I live in Greece, and the car is outside, so the sun does beat down on them a lot. Also, the tires have become INCREDIBLY unbalanced. The whole car shakes, and especially the steering wheel, even after balancing the tires, and swapping them front to back. Maybe more frequent rotations would have helped this however. Dry grip is not where it should be, lots of tire spin. Noise levels are noticeably harsh. Wet grip is surprisingly decent even after 3 years.

Bought these tires when i was tight on budget. All fours on my Astra. Had used Goodyear, Lassa, Michelin and Continental on my other cars before. This tire is a decent option if you rarely get rain and use it on dry road on highways. They started dry rotting but i pushed them on crappy roads to be fair. My rear right tire got 3 punctures, i also had punctures before on all the brands i mentioned before but these kept leaking air and didn't hold on to the patch even though it was prepped properly. Replaced my rear tires with Michelin cross climate 2's and will do the same on the front when they start getting bald. Road comfort is god awful in these tires i got scared my rear suspension was going to blow on rough roads. After switching to cc2's it got so much more comfortable to drive. When it comes to grip i did an emergency brake test on 60 km/h with my foot flat on the brake pedal, i just heard light squeaking and it came to a decent stop on dry road. On wet roads though it skids a little and really tests the limits of your ABS. Road feedback is really just meh even on dry roads. And as i said they wear rather quick compared to some of the other tires i used before and they also dry rotted even though i used my car frequently. I'd say if you're tight on budget and rarely get rain and drive mostly on highways, it's a fine tire. Would i buy it again even if i was tight on budget (for my conditions at least)? NO. You can really get better tires for this price i think.

Most grippy tire you can buy for this tire size. I had the Hankook S1 Evo3 before, they were already very good, but this takes it to another level, almost semi slick performance. The only downside is that they wear pretty fast, I think they will do about 25000km.

I bought this tires for the front of my car, I had some Hankook S1 Evo2 at the end of their life, and decide to go for this tires after see some good comments, But there really not that amazing. They are good tires if you just want to make kms... They grip ok, but if you like to drive in the mountains and as fast as possible, and not the best choice. I changed to the Hankook S1 Evo3, they are not that expensive and are much better. I give than a 8/10 for daily drive 6/10 for sporty drive.

I wore these tyres for six years, espesially on dry and wet road, in Greece. I am driving an Opel Astra H GTC 1.6 Turbo 180HP. My driving style is mainly calm with some breakouts of aggresive and pushing driving, so I think I have a well-known aspect about the tyres.

I bought my car and it had this tires at the front. But there really not good. They are good tires if you just want to make kms... I like to drive in the mountains and as fast as possible, and they couldnt keep up. I changed to the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT and the car was much better and Handling and Braking.

I had some cheap GT Radial Champiro FE1 and the grip was poor. Beside bad handling the car was bad at braking, after i change the to the Dunlops, the car change totally, much better grip in the dry and much better handling. And breaking got much better too. So for this size of tire. This is a tire i can really recommend.

A very good comfort tyre on a very good price and safe on wet and aquaplaning..! But on dry and cornering pressure there is no feedback grip or any handling.. It's just an economy comfort tyre for an everyday car with good treadware not for sport driving!

Opel astra 2012 factory tire I still use the car 110 thousand winter tire was used in winter. Although it is a very good rubber capillary cracks, its pattern still has a very good hardening, but it has been 8 years. the result is an excellent tire.

Greetings from Greece, I bought these tyres 1 year before. I have to say that those tyre are above the average in all categories of comparisons for their price. Value for money. I think they are similar to nexen nfera su1 but nexen were little better at wear and handling and more expensive too!
