175/60 15 Tyre Review Highlights

Hankook Kinergy Eco 2 rated 44% while driving a
Driving on mostly country roads for 28000 average miles
they are some okay tires , it came factory from the car . it is a really noisy tire .but the rolling resistant is quite good , it's very fuel efficient. the cornering we're nimble but it's not really that grippy. the comfort were also quite bad , it's very hard feeling as if you can feel every bump getting amplified .

Maxxis Mecotra ME3 rated 90% while driving a Nissan Micra
Driving on mostly town for 2000 average miles
I have a 2015 Nissan Micra (K13), and there are limited choices available for the size 175/60R15. I bought these Maxxis tires with some trepidation after reading about their alleged poor wet handling and road noise, but so far (2,000 km) I don't see any problems at all. The handling and grip on dry pavement are absolutely superb (as confirmed by the top dry ranking in the ADAC/Stiftung Warentest test), and I haven't had any problems at all driving in light or heavy rain on city streets or rural roads. At highway speeds, there was a little understeer on very wet roads, though this felt more like a somewhat lighter touch to the steering than a lack of control. The tires also aren't noisy. I gather this is more of an issue on 14-inch tires, but in 15-inch they're definitely quieter than the Bridgestone B250 that came with the car, with one exception - the resonant "plonk" noise that the tires make when you drive over a stone, hit a kerb, etc. is a bit more noticeable. All in all, the tire seems very well matched to a small car like the Micra, and (remember these are first impressions) so far I am very pleasantly surprised, not least because they were very reasonably priced for a Taiwan-made tire.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance rated 64% while driving a Toyota
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 spirited miles
These tyres were on a toyota fielder hybrid import i purchased, look new, plenty of tread, nice looking tyre, but i find them very noisey esp on country sealed roads with larger aggregate surfaces. Grip seems goods both wet n dry, if there was a more quite tyre same price id get that next.

Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 rated 86% while driving a Fiat Panda
Driving on mostly town for 25000 average miles
30000km driven on suburban asphalt in a rather pushed way. Superb comfort in spite of the uncommon fitment (175/60-15). Remarkable road holding on either dry or wet roads but unfortunately, overkill acquaplanning thus you must not go speedy while driving in the rain.

Goodyear UltraGrip 9 Plus rated 88% while driving a Audi A2
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 average miles
I took a chance given the lack of reviews or tests at the time and have had these on my Audi A2 since November: Too early to rate the wear yet as I’ve only done 1000 miles or so, but these are great at dealing with all conditions you’re likely to find in rural southern England. Dry and wet braking are very good and they are quiet except on concrete road surfaces, but then what type is? We had a lot of ice on the roads here recently and I live in a hilly area - these dealt with it fine as long as you drove sensibly. I’ve not had a chance to try them in snow but the reviews suggested they will be good. Based on my impressions so far, I would buy them again. I’ll update once I’ve used them for a couple of full winters (so spring next year).

Dunlop StreetResponse 2 rated 80% while driving a Nissan Micra
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Car Nissan Micra k13 DIG-s, at 22000 miles, still had tread left, Swapped Bridgestone 250 for these - It's early days The Dunlops are much more comfortable, smoother and quieter than the Bridgestones perhaps generally softer - make the car feel much better, too early to say if they're better grip or wear wise (sorry). I suspect they will not last as long as the B'stones but so far feel much better and unless the wear rate is appalling I will not be using the B'stanes again.

Firestone TZ300A rated 71% while driving a Nissan Micra
Driving on mostly town for 35000 spirited miles
Good for the the price.
Good on wet road (Continentals a bit better)
Good on dry also (Dunlop sp300 a bit better but worst on wear)

Wear is average and the tires tend to degrade before hitting the marks...although for the price vs performance it is a good buy

Bridgestone B250 rated 51% while driving a Nissan Micra
Driving on mostly town for 4000 spirited miles
These tyres were OEM fitted on my k13 Nissan Micra. They were really bad both on wet and dry roads. Braking distance was too long. I also had some accidents because of these tyres. So I removed them once winter came and the next summer I didn't use them. Before 4k miles I threw them away. I wouldn't recommend these tyres, and if you have these, I recommend throwing them away. You won't regret it.
