225/55 17 Tyre Review Highlights

Michelin Alpin 6 rated 86% while driving a Lexus GS
Driving on mostly town for 12000 easy going miles
Taken set in the fall of 2022. It behaves very well. Comfortable and silent up to highway speeds.

Dunlop Econodrive rated 34% while driving a Mercedes Benz
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 spirited miles
I've had these tyres on two Vito Tourers.
They only last 7000 to 8000 kms. Chunks of rubber start to come off and the noise levels just become insane.
I do not recommend these tyres for the Vito Tourer.
Weirdly enough ~ although the vans are RWD, the front tyres get worn out before the rear ones.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 rated 86% while driving a Land Rover Freelander TD4 (BMW M47R)
Driving on mostly motorways for 19300 average miles
These are the best summer tires I have ever had. Dry grip is very good, but wet grip is where these tires are exceptional. My car is prone for understeer, esp. in roundabouts. With these tires, I have never felt even a slight slip of the front axle. Hard wet braking is bang on the money, very controled with no slip whatsoever. Aquaplaning resistance is superb, I have only experienced slight aquaplaning twice while doing about 80 mph in a downpour (standing water on the motorway). Feedback is noticeable and steering response is good. Handling wise the tires are very predictable and therefore safe. With the mileage driven, I predict they are on 1/3 of their life, with about 5.5 to 6mm of tread remaining (started with just over 8mm). The tires are relatively comfortable and very quiet. I recommend these tires to anyone who does a lot of driving in all conditions and wants a well-balanced and very safe tire.

Bridgestone Turanza 6 rated 67% while driving a Kia Motors Soul EV
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
I put a full set of Turanza 6 tyres in a Kia Soul EV. The handling was good and the economy was good too...

...but on the front left tyre (we drive on the left here) the sidewall was chipped within two weeks and eventually the chip grew dangerous, while the back left tyre developed a small leak within 3 months (circa 8k km) on the sidewall too. Some kerb clips happened, but they happened with previous tyres on the same car too, with far less destructive results.

I could only conclude the Bridgestones have some kind of brittle sidewalls. And now I had to replace two of them, ending up with "whatever the fitter had right away" on the rear axle (originally tyres were lost on the two left wheels but of course I swapped wheels to ensure same axle - same tyre). I'm not getting Bridgestones again anytime soon.

Pirelli P Zero rated 57% while driving a BMW X1 2.0 Xdrive
Driving on a combination of roads for 17000 average miles
On my BMW X1 the front set lasted 17,000 miles compared with 24,000 miles for previous Michelins and 25,000 on original Bridgestones. Not impressive. Good grip and fairly quiet but not worth the money. Now trying Goodyear Efficient Grip

Driving on mostly motorways for 25000 average miles

Goodride ZuperSnow Z507 rated 62% while driving a Mercedes Benz V220 CDI
Driving on a combination of roads for 11000 easy going miles
High wear, 10000 miles and they are finished. Driving a transfer van (got the van with them) in the Alps; highway, local/mountain roads - not suitable for intensive driving. Maybe for drivers making low mileage. Not bad experience while they were new. Also experienced a flat with one of the fronts.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W rated 72% while driving a Subaru 2003 Forester 2.5x
Driving on mostly motorways for 30000 average miles
I ran these on my Subaru Forester and they were great tires on and off road. I found their grip on gravel to be excellent and I was never able to not go somewhere I wanted. They were louder than a standard all season car tire, but that's to be expected and I didn't find them overly annoying. I live in BC near Whistler so I drove them lot's in wet road conditions, on gravel roads, deep and packed snow on road and off, and ice. I've alway run dedicated winter tires and this was my first time running an all weather through the winter. My take away was that, although these are great tires, they struggle in ice compared to winters and they left me stuck once in a particularly icy snowbank. I'll buy another set for 3 season driving, but this year I'll also be getting a set of dedicated winters.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 rated 83% while driving a Infiniti G35 2008
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 spirited miles
Hi,

Good tyres for the price. Those are the least problematic to balance from all my previous tyres (dunlop rt2 - worn 80% in 15-20k miles , GY efficient grip, Toyo sport - the worst to balance).
When used in regular commute and highways the are perfect. Handling is good in wet and dry conditions. when pushed to max, they keep the pace, but it is clear that the stiffness is missing a bit in corners (when pushing to the limit).

General G Max AS 07 rated 84% while driving a Infiniti 2011 G25
Driving on a combination of roads for 600 spirited miles
I only have a few hundred miles on my new AS 07's, after replacing my set of AS 05's on my Infiniti G25. Right off the bat though, I can say they have plenty of grip for my 'spirited' driving style without being too harsh over any subpar roadways. They are quiet while cruising and best of all, didn't break the budget. It would have been easy to spend $200-500 more on a competitors tire, but I can't imagine feeling any better about a tire at any other price. Count me as a big fan and an avid endorser of this tire.
