215/55 16 Tyre Review Highlights

Continental UltraContact UC7 rated 84% while driving a Honda Civic 1.8 5 door
Driving on mostly town for 18 average miles
I recently had the pleasure of trying out the UltraContact 7 tires, and I must say, they've exceeded my expectations in every way. These tires are a fantastic choice for both performance and comfort, making them stand out from the competition.

When it comes to performance, the UltraContact 7 tires deliver outstanding grip and handling on various road surfaces. Whether it's dry or wet conditions, these tires provide confidence and ensure a safe driving experience. They also offer great cornering stability and responsiveness, making driving a pleasure.

In terms of comfort, the UltraContact 7 tires really impressed me. They provide a smooth and quiet ride, even on rough roads. I enjoyed the reduction in road noise and vibrations, making my journeys more enjoyable.

Durability is another strong point of the UltraContact 7 tires. Despite using them for a while, I've noticed minimal tread wear, which speaks to their quality and longevity.

While the UltraContact 7 tires have performed exceptionally well, there are a couple of areas for improvement. The wet traction, although generally good, could be slightly better during heavy rainfall. Additionally, I noticed a slight decrease in fuel efficiency compared to some other options.

Overall, I highly recommend the UltraContact 7 tires for those seeking a reliable and high-performing option with exceptional grip and comfort. They have exceeded my expectations and deserve a solid 8.5/10 rating.

Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
My Diesel Multispace came fitted with a set of these tyres when I purchased the car last summer. In dry conditions the grip level is just about acceptable however the steering feel just off center is extemely poor with a strange dragging sensation during cornering they also feel as if the rubber is very hard but my tyres had the wrong load rating of 97v they should be 93v for my car. Driving in the wet is a comedy both axles ready to slip out of line with zero warning on wet roundabouts at very low speeds I would class these tyres as dangerous in any emergency situation. If the vehicle you are driving has these fitted get them changed now to a safer better tyre! I am not using these tyres now.

Hankook Ventus Prime 4 rated 63% while driving a Citroën C5
Driving on a combination of roads for 15500 average miles
When new: grip on dry and wet was very good. Always had a good feedback. Low noise and fuel consumption normal. But the tyre came new with 6.5 mm. Ok, they were cheap. Now they have 2-3 mm and they really got bad now. Especially in the rain. I would not buy them again. To high wear.

September 2023 DO NOT BUY these tyres if you expect to have them fitted longer than 4 to 5 years. I have had 2 pairs, the first in 2015, the second in 2018. ALL tyres developed cracks (dry rot?) in the shoulder around the full circumference in 4 to 5 years (around 20,000miles). I have been driving 45 years, 21 of them in my C5 now at 192,000miles. These Goodyears are the only tyres I have ever needed to replace with 3 to 4mm tread remaining! So, very poor value.

Michelin Primacy 3 rated 57% while driving a Skoda
Driving on mostly town for 0 average miles
bought these tyres a year back and now after just 8000 kms of drive tires have cracks all over. When contacted Michelin customer care a very simple response they gave that we cant support since they have stopped import of these tires.

Such a pathetic response and leaving customer in between without supporting and looking into their bad quality product. What they replied is that i should better buy new tires of other make and since they will and wont support with replacement or reimbursement.

Asked them to submit report and in written then its more that 80 hours and yet to receive feedback. I have been chasing continuously but of no help.

If anyone can guide please help. I have spent 54K on these tires just a year back.

Cant share pics here as there is no option to.

Toyo Proxes CF2 rated 86% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X
Driving on mostly country roads for 35000 average miles
Having them for about 50.000 kms , i had no complains from them. Very quiet tires , with good behavior no matter the weather , low wear and average fuel consumption. I changed them only due to mileage . There was 5 mm left on them despite the fact that mondeo is a heavy car. Unfortunately Toyo comfort were not available on the new size that i fitted so i got Hankook ventus prime 4.

Durun A One rated 59% while driving a Ford Focus
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 average miles
Ford Focus 2011 Diesel 1.5L (~270nm torque). Set of 4 fresh Durun L919's on purchase in 2019. I had done only 3000 miles by 2022 (Covid Lockdowns) and all 4 had developed dangerous ring cracks on them almost failing the MOT - very hard poor quality rubber. Aside from that marked flaw, they gripped really well in both wet and dry and handling was good when I threw the little car into corners, but it is a light car. Road feedback, because the rubber was quite hard, was high, as was the noise. Felt every little bump in the road to the point it was uncomfortable and feared for my suspension. Replaced all today with Sumitomo tyres and now I can't feel anything on the road!
