185/45 14 Tyre Review Highlights

Landsail LS588 UHP rated 47% while driving a Rover 25
Driving on mostly town for 2000 spirited miles
Worst wet weather grip I have ever known. The car spins its wheels on pull away and even when moving in the lower gears ( I do not drive a fast car!) on roundabouts it understeers and just go straight if there is any moisture at all on the road. My stopping distances are huge . I really think these tyres are actually dangerous and I am planning to get rid of them asap money allowing. I run an old cheap car for commuting so I bought a budget tyre-big mistake.

Uniroyal RainSport 3 rated 94% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 S
Driving on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
I will definitely buy them again! Had mine fitted and lasted me 15k miles, incredibly good on wet and such a comfortable ride compared to some others! It feels safe to drive on any road conditions and it’s definitely worth the price their in

Kumho Power Max 769 rated 91% while driving a Chevrolet optra
Driving on a combination of roads for 54000 easy going miles
People say Optra is a comfartable car but i think that is due to the type of tyres used in this car. These tryes are very good I had about 3-4 slow punctures in 3 yrs. There is a very strong grip and very comfortable to use.

I do not know the lifespan of the tyre but i think these tryres lasted me for too long. I bought the car in October 2011 now we are in Dec 2014, It is now that I feel they are beginning to give up. I'm not looking anywhere else other than using the same brand.
