Volkswagen Golf 7 TDI Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza T005 given 69% (195-65-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
3 years into the tyres, i can say great grip in the wet and dry all from 5C to 40C degree weather.
When driving agressively, the sidewall flex is quite big, so you feel you're losing grip while youre actually just flexing the tyre sideways. Besides that great handling tyres, have nothing against them, will most likely buy again. on about 4-5mm of tread after about 25k miles, which is pretty good for my driving style.

Writing about the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 given 63% (195-65-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
Great tyres, amazing grip in the wet and great grip in the dry. Very good in the snow until you get to about 5mm, then it's not good enough for the snow conditions where i live (good enough for most situations, wont get traction on steep hills anymore). After 3 years of driving (1 aggressive, 2 moderate years, 25k ish miles) the tyres have 4.2-4.8mm left. Am probably going to fit them this season and use them until the end of summer, havent decided on it yet tho.

Driving on mostly motorways for 18000 miles
Very good tyre overall. I have only one minus for this tyres and that is that one of them after 30.000km became very loud, first i thought that my well bearing is bad but after changing to summer tyres noise was gone.

Writing about the Dynamo STREET H MU02 given 100% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 8000 spirited miles
Im on my second set of Dynamo tyres and overall I’m extremely satisfied. Very good tyres in all weather conditions and they seem to last longer than the more expensive brands.

Driving on mostly motorways for 40000 average miles
Very good tyre. Great on wet and dry. Best wear ever. I did 65.000km with this tyres on 2.0 tdi Golf 7 Variant (185Hp, 430Nm). Sure i did swap tyres from rear to front and back every 10-15.000km to male them wear even. I will buy again.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus Prime2 given 35% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 easy going miles
According to Hankook website these tyres are usable for around 50000 miles and 7 to 8 years old. Unfortunately these tyres were fitted as orriginal equipment to my golf reg oct 2017. Tyres manufacture end August 2017. At 4 years old 22000 miles mot failed because perished. Sent rear tyre back to Hankook under complaint as less than 50% worn. Their technical dep t rejected claim as it was over 4 years old and they therefore rejected claim. WARNING IF YOU DRIVE A LOW MILEAGE CAR BE VERY WARY ABOUT ABOUT FITTING Hangkook tyres . High mileage cars are ok as they will be worn out before any fault shows.

Had these tyres on for a while, the difference I noticed straight away when putting these on was that I had lost a lot of comfort. These tyres are extremely hard and allow every little stone you go over to be felt inside the cabin. In terms of handling, grip and wear, you cannot fault them. However those things do not matter when you’ve lost this much comfort. Lowered and running on 19s which really doesnt help lol.

Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
Bought these to replace worn out Davanti DX640's and I have to say I'm underwhelmed so far. They feel much less assured when cornering and generally sloppy. They also tramline terribly. I find their poor handling characteristics a big surprise given Bridgestone is at the upper end of the market. Not tested on snow/ice yet. Wet grip seems fine, but not noticably better than the Davanti tyres they have replaced.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 4 given 86% (225-45-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Bought these for my 2014 Golf TDI only a week ago so it's early days. I noticed immediately they are much quieter than the Bridgestone Turanza's I had previously. They hold the road well in the dry and as far as comfort is concerned they are exactly what I wanted, the ride is well balance and smooth and the tyres soak up minor road defects without fuss, they are altogether a very good tyre for low noise and comfort. I have only really pushed them hard into a bend at high speed once and I didn't think they gave great feedback but they did not feel as if they would give way. I felt safe and in control but think they will improve after a few hundred miles.
My test drive was over the same route I tried the Turanza's on which included good tarmac roads, poor concrete surfaces and poor quality country lanes. The Turanza's gave a comfortable ride but couldn't cope with different road surfaces being very prone to increased noise on poor surfaces. in contrast the Michelins' didn't suffer from increased noise levels very much at all.
Generally I feel these are great all around tyres which suite my Golf very well and will cope with whatever the roads throw at them. I would certainly buy them again.
