Driving on mostly motorways for 0 spirited miles
At first amazing best tire i ever had.

Now very loud and feel like i am not in total control. Front tires raised and should be replaced. 5.7mm tread is left after 21000 km all on highway to berlin, sweden, and hamburg!

Driving on mostly town for 100 average miles
Set of 310s amazed at how much better than the Goodyears they replaced. Quite, comfortable and good road feel. Have no idea the wet hasn’t rained in two months here! We will see but most impressed at the moment!

Kumho Solus 4S HA32 rated 92% while driving a Mazda
Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 average miles
Fantastic tires. Running these on my Mazda 3. Very impressed with the traction. Ride quality is better than I expected based on tread design. I'm currently at approx 40,000km on the tires and they are still sitting at 80% tread remaining based on the measurements at my last tire rotation. Would buy again - recommend as a more affordable all-weather option to anyone that asks.

Nokian PowerProof rated 54% while driving a Renault
Driving on mostly motorways for 10000 easy going miles
Corners well and wet handling is nice but horrible wear during under sun. As a finnish tyre it wore rapidly at summer during pandemic. First spiderweb appearence at all sides. Then sidewalls began to separate and wires become visible...

Fulda Kristall Control HP2 rated 78% while driving a Volkswagen Golf R estate
Driving on a combination of roads for 2500 spirited miles
I bought these tyres as they were all my local tyre company had in stock - they have turned out to be extremely good, far better than my previous Nokian WR D4 tyres. They are amazingly quiet & seem to offer plenty of grip & low rolling resistance. They're also enjoyable to drive on a twisty road - I was always conscious of having much narrower & higher profile winter tyres before (summer size is 235/35/19, so quite a difference), but with these, it's easy to forget. They're even effective outwith the normal "window" for winter tyres (I drove over 600 miles in 2 days, with the temperature not dropping below 11c).

In short, although these are a "mid range" tyre (& one I wouldn't have bought if I hadn't needed them in a hurry), I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, they have surprised me with how good they are! I haven't experienced proper winter conditions yet (just a few heavy frosts), but impressive so far.

Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3 rated 87% while driving a Peugeot 2008 MK1 130 Allure
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Put on the car as a replacement for Goodyear Vector 4S at the recommendation of our trusted tyre fitter. Decent mid-range tyres.
Grip well in the dry with good feedback from the road. Handles wet weather pretty well too, no sliding in corners and no wheelspin off the line.
During the recent cold snap, they have performed brilliantly. Coupled with the 2008's Grip Control snow and ice have been no problem, particularly our steep hill out of the estate. The car has gripped well and hauled us out on to a treated road.
Overall I've been quite impressed with these tyres, even though the design is getting on a bit.

RoadX RXMOTION U11 rated 24% while driving a Skoda
Driving on mostly town for 2000 average miles
Terrible terrible tyres. In the dry very average but in the wet these tyres are very dangerous. Traction control light never off in the wet and as the temperature drops they get worse. They were fitted brand new from Arnold Clark on the car I bought. I have swapped them out after only 2000miles and fitted Goodyear vector 4all season tyres and the car is transformed.

Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus rated 97% while driving a Volkswagen CC
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
I've driven on the GY UGP+ for a full winter season now and for me it just clicked. In this category you don't expect downsides or problems, but the GY exceeded my expectation. I am all about the comfort and feel of the tyre and even with frameless doors I wasn't too much disturbed by the noise. Excellent tyres to be driving on snow, as long as your bumper isn't turning into a snow plow.

Yokohama BluEarth GT AE51 rated 94% while driving a Volvo C30 1.6 Drive
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 average miles
Replaced Avon ZV7s on the front basically as the equivalent Yoko's were £25 a corner cheaper and the same wet A-grading as the predecessors.
