Writing about the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 given 89% (225-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 62000 average miles

These are the only winter tyres I have used on my car. My new car was registered in January 2015 and I had the tyres fitted on a different set of alloys. Almost 9 years later, I am going to replace them with the exactly the same tyre ! They have been an excellent all round winter tyre, used every year from November to April (5 months) If you use them all year round, then I do believe they wear quite fast in the summer months.
Grip has been very good in the dry, wet and snow/ice. Handling has also been very good indeed. Comfort has been adequate, since my tyre mechanic told me that all winter tyres are quite noisy compared to the best summer tyres.
Highly recommended in my opinion.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 given 20% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 easy going miles

Recently replace the four worn Hankook EVO2 tyres on my A3 Saloon with PS4's. I've only driven a few hundred miles so far on the PS4s so can't comment on the grip and handling etc. But a big disappointment is that the are noisier than the Hankooks and for new tyres they have only 7.5mm tread depth. I was expecting 8-9mm on a new tyre. I'm just glad I got them at a good discount via Costco. I don't think I would buy them again on the basis of the noise and tread.

Driving on a combination of roads for 100 average miles

Hello I am from Cyprus and my car is Audi A3 sportback. I have before Chinese tyres davandi and after intertrac tyres. Very bad tyres don’t buy this brands. After that I decided to buy a better tyres. For the last 3 years I used them Continental contisport contact 5. It was good tyres I don’t have anything bad to say about this tyres. After the Continental I did my research and I decided to buy the Goodyear efficiendgrip performance 2. I have this tyres 1 month now and it’s absolutely amazing tyres. I don’t Know yet for the wet grip and for the wear. I pushed my car to the limits and my tyres give me a very good feeling they give me confidence a safety filing. I have to say it’s very comfortable tyres I don’t feel the pumps and the bad roads in Cyprus and it’s very silently too I don’t hear anything to the cabin. I will give a better review in 6 months. I am sorry for my bad English

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 given 94% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly motorways for 30000 average miles

I have been using Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 225/40 R18 Y (92) and I am very impressed. In dry summer conditions tyres are very similar to Michelins PS4, I have used before. Michelins were slightly sharper and precise, but Goodyears provide better feedback on the limit, better comfort and less noise. Wet summer conditions: great traction and predictability. Cold conditions: I could always rely on Goodyears even in sub zero temperatures. Last two points, fuel economy: not as good as MPS4, but still very good. Rim protection: the best I have ever seen. To summarize, I was looking for predictable, comfortable and quiet tyres with great wear and thanks to Jonathan I found superb all round set for me - Goodyear F1 Asy5.

Feels like a summer tyre but is still amazing on snow.

Driving on mostly motorways for 10000 average miles

bought the tyres as recommended for audi AO, excellent grip in the dry . good grip in the wet once tyres have warmed up. when they are cold easily spin on acceleration .... bit of road noise but not too bad , most disappointing was wear..looking to replace now down to 3mm after approx 10k miles mainly motorway driving ....unsure if going with p zero

Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles

Only done about 500 miles on these tyres so far but I couldn't be happier. Just got sick of putting cheap Chinese tyres on my audi which is always false economy.Still getting a bit of road noise,but I still have crap tyres on the back so it's probably coming from them. Price wise they are mid range (about Â£75 each. Haven't found the limit of the grip yet in the dry or the wet as that's not the style I drive. Would recommend this tyre to anybody who is after value and quality.

Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles

Had types fitted to audi a3 s line about 4 months ago and I got to say they are better than I expected. Price wise they were no much more than the cheapest types on offer but have impressed me in all driving situations . I'm not one to hang around and have pushed them hard . Would say if you are looking for a cheap price tyre that is a good as a much higher price tyre this is the tyre for you
