Ford Puma 1.7 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza ER300 given 96% (195-50-15-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 20000 spirited miles
Excellent tyres. Dry grip is brilliant, turn in precise and the tyre gives great confidence. In the wet the tyre feels pretty much the same, but with slightly less grip as you would expect. The tyre is also very hard wearing, and very quiet. It is well worth spending the extra for these tyres as they are worth every penny.

Writing about the Goodyear Hydragrip given 86% (195-50-15-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 spirited miles
Superb all season tyre very well suited to UK climate copes well with deep standing water and slushy snow with astonishing braking performance and directional stability in same conditions even down to legal tyre depth!

The Hydragrip definitely feels compromised on hotter days +25 degree C in both road noise and wear rate increases. Shame about limited availability and sizes now at ?40 a corner certainly a rare gem finding a premium tyre at budget-mid range prices.

Writing about the Uniroyal Rainsport 2 given 81% (225-45-17-)

Just had these on the front. Steering feel was a bit vague for the first 1500 miles but then got better and better. Seem to be wearing fairly quick but they get a hard time.
Swapped them to back ready to buy 2 more for front, meanwhile 2 cheapos on the front. Understeered straight on twice in a week with cheapostyres on front. So must have been driving like a tw*t with Uniroyals on the front! Very good, looking forward to getting new ones on the front and having them all round. Highly recommended.

Writing about the Toyo T1R given 79% (195-50-16-V)

The Toyos are hugely confidence inspiring, The car feels planted through the corners and is very predictable on the limit. Even if you do find yourself going beyond the available grip the breakaway is progressive, with good feedback through the wheel wet or dry.

Good tyre to start with, have these fitted to my 1.7 Puma but they are not wearing well. Not even done 20,000 miles. Yes I dont hang around, I dont wheel spin though! Other tyres have lasted much longer. If you dont mind changing tryes sooner rather than later then for the price they arent a bad option.
