Toyota Auris Tyres

I'm driving on these tyres since December. Grip in both wet and dry is excellent compared to my previous (Dunlop) summer tyres. Ride is comfortable and quiet.

One thing I'm unsure about is the correct tyre pressure - at the recommended 32psi (cold) for my car they feel a bit soft. I find adding an extra pound or two improves the ride greatly.

It's still too early to tell how they will wear but after three months/ 2000km they still look as new (as they should I suppose)..

As soon as I'd bought a set for the front of my Auris I was off to the Alps in November 2010. A fantastic experience only blighted by the cheaper rear tyres. I spent 3 weeks driving on snow with great traction. Even when the snow was dumping heavily on alpine roads at 1,000m up (near Chamonix) I didn't need to use my chains. This was in total contrast to the previous season using socks on (good) all weather tyres and I'm now hooked on good winter tyres. Returning to UK in first week of December I had a much better trip to Yorkshire than just about anybody else. As already stated by someone else I was able also to take advantage of unused outside lanes saving a lot of time. Great tyres. I'm now off to replace the existing rear tyres, which continuously broke away on almost every snow covered corner.

They are mid range tyres and maybe the performance is not the same as some premium brands but If you are average driver you can't go wrong for the price. the grip in wet is very good and better than on dry surface. The tyres are quiet and wear is not bad neither.

Very good handling on wet but can be really noisy. I have done only 7k but seems to be wearing pretty quickly.

The tire grip is very good in dry and wet, even if you push hard it still performs very good. Two issues I had:
- can be very noisy on motorway
- it lasted only 14k miles fitted on front- I don't drive really hard. If you consider the price you may get equally good product that lasts much longer.

These tyres were fitted from new on my Toyota Auris 1.4 D4D MMT. From new they spun easily on wet roads - especially during winter. I don't drive particularly hard but mostly use auto mode.

Performance was good on dry roads and for the first 20,000km they were 'ok' on snow (good for summer tyres).

I replaced them after the recent bad weather as after 35,000km they are no longer suited to winter driving - sliding and spinning badly in even a small amount of slush. There was still about 4mm of thread but I replaced them with all season Bridgestone A001s.

I have replaced as set of Toyo tyres and it was a bad choice. Front wheels spin very easily during acceleration on 1st gear (128 hp engine). They supposed to be rain tyres but on wet they reach their limit very quickly. I have also noted increased fuel consumption in comparison to Uniroyal predecessors. Can't comment on wear as I have done about 2k miles so far.

These tyres were factory fir on my Auris, and i bought the car used with 15500 on the clock, and the tyres still had plenty of tread.
I have just covered 19100 miles and the MOT yesterday showed even wear across the tyre and still 3.5mm left, so they are a good tyre for wear.
That is where the compliments end. The road noise is horrendous with these tyres fitted, and i hate driving over any rough tarmac as they drown out everything.
The grip in dry conditions is average, but you really don't feel like they could hold you on the road if you needed to swerve to avoid something.
Grip in the wet is poor, and without traction control i doubt i would stay on the road, and if the roads have some ice on them then you really do have to be very careful (as you should on any tyre) as they just don't like roundabouts in anything below 2c temperatures.
I'm looking to replace these tyres as soon as possible and pay for a softer compound rubber with less wear rate but better grip, as i feel that there is no point having a long wearing tyre if the car is going to end up in a verge due to poor grip.
