245/45 20 Tyre Review Highlights

Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 rated 84% while driving a Dodge Charger RT
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I have these on My 2011 Charger RT Max. The value per mile makes these a no brainer for me. Will buy them again when these wear out.

Pirelli Scorpion Winter rated 84% while driving a Porsche
Driving on mostly motorways for 4400 average miles
Fitted these by the end of February 2023, and then again in November 2023. Car has staggered set-up with 285/40 R20 rears, 245/45 R20 fronts.

Although a fairly old design which has now been replaced by Scorpion Winter 2, I must say I have really enjoyd them so far. Have about 7000 km on them now, in various conditions. So far they have not let me down, and I would say that dry handling as well as wet performance have been very good. They are quiet and provides good feedback when pushed to the envelope of their grip. Performance on ice is where they struggle the most, so this is something to take into consideration if you drive in harsh conditions. Most of my driving is on wet/salted highways (legal limit 110 km/h), and this is were I need performance the most. But even going into the mountains, on snow and in cold temperatures (-15 C) they deliver as expected.

All in all, a well balanced performance winter tyre suitable for heavy cars.

Landsail DH2 rated 41% while driving a Dodge
Driving on mostly motorways for 40000 average miles
My main issue is not all about the tires but about the customer service. I bought a new set of the desert storms on April 1st 2023. At 70 MPH there was a slight vibration from the minute I had them put on. In less than 2 months the rear pair were completely bald with 0 tread left. I took them back to the vender and was told that the company said there was something wrong with my car and that I would have to take it to the shop before they would consider honoring any part of the 40,000 mile warranty. I took it to the shop and there were NO issues with the car so I took them back to the vender (150 miles each way) and he was told by manufacturer that I must have a problem with the front end of my car and that I had to have switched them from the front to the back which I did NOT. I was told that I would have to have them sent in for them to look at and they would get back to me in 7 to 8 weeks with their findings. I bought a new set so I could send the two in only to have them tell the vender that they were not going to honor the warranty. I told them that the new set I replaced them with was a smooth as silk at 85 MPH(no vibrating) and that I believe that part of the issue was a bad balancing job done by Quality Tire when I bought them. Not only will that vendor never get my business again (nor anyone I know but I will NEVER buy another tire from a company that has the worst customer service I have ever seen. AVOID DELINTE BRAND TIRES LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Continental ContiCrossContact LX rated 73% while driving a Volvo

Toyo Proxes CF2 SUV rated 82% while driving a Renault
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Good and quiet tyres!
Definitely an upgrade from my previous Pirelli Scorpion Zero… that is a rubbish tyres!
Noise from the tyres had significantly reduced, wet and dry condition is much better too.

Fullway HP 108 rated 77% while driving a Volvo XC40
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 average miles
Put these on my small crossover because of the price. For that price, they are perfectly fine. Sometimes I am "sportier" and more aggressive in my driving, which these have some lower limits. I usually get a traction light when accelerating from a stop, I think the cause is there is no tread block in the central rib, like many other tires. Otherwise, for 99% normal driving (gentle acceleration, light to firm braking, not cornering fast) these are perfect for the job. I haven't noticed a ton of road noise - they're a bit nosier than the Pirelli Scorpions probably that I originally had, but most of the year I have to use snow tires anyways, so these are quieter than those anyways.

Kumho Ecsta PS91 rated 36% while driving a Dodge Challenger
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
Used only in summer with roughly 5 thousand miles and failed to pass inspection the following spring. Tires didn't even last long enough to get rotated. I'm out on Kumho's and could have got this with the cheapest available tire. Even a summer performance tire should last a few years at low miles.

Continental WinterContact TS 870 P rated 84% while driving a Volvo V90 Cross Country B5 Mild Hybrid Diesel
Driving on a combination of roads for 3190 easy going miles
When I picked up my 2023 Volvo V90 Cross Country B5 Mild Hybrid Diesel the selection of winter tyres offered by Volvo did not satisfy me and I have asked to for getting the Continental Winter Contact TS870P mounted on my 20 inch wheels. From the start the tyre did not disappoint me. It feels very comfortable on the road and is very quiet. Dry handling and driving is how I would I expect it. We had lots of rain in the winter and spent some time in northern Germany and this tyre is superb in handling heavy rain. Compared to the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 (with 255/35 R20 on my previous Volvo V90 D5) it felt even better. With only a few days of snow we did not get a chance to really test true winter capabilities. After driving 3190 miles (5134km) I did not see much signs of wear. We have the same tyre mounted on my wife's V60 D4 (235/45 R18) and that tyre is so comfortable to drive and even is on par with the summer tyres.

Avon ZX7 rated 83% while driving a Volkswagen TOUAREG V6 TDI
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 spirited miles
My second set of these. OE tyres were noisy and didnt protect alloys from kerbing, lasted 18k miles. These Avons were a great price, saving me over £200+ on similar graded premium tyres. First set lasted me 20k miles, so an improvement, the car felt secure on the road in any conditions I hit (mainly dry or rain) and they are very quiet at motorway speeds.

Worst purchase ever !!! I bought 4 tires for my Challenger and I drive a lot ! Long trips usually and they were almost undrivable. After 2 months ! One got ripped and I went and got the warranty I had and the new one had same issue. The car vibrates . Worst tire I bought ! Don’t buy it !
