185/55 16 Tyre Review Highlights

RoadX RXMOTION H12 rated 100% while driving a
Driving on mostly town for 0 easy going miles
Had 4 new RoadX tyres fitted. Very impressed so far. They look great, handle great and the price was unbeatable.
These are the XL version (extra load) which are possibly over engineered for my car but with the reinforced side walls and stronger construction they should last longer on the pot holed roads we all have to suffer in the UK.
I don't drive to the limit of the tyres, plus the cars safety systems would kick in before the tyres let go (ABS/Traction Control/VSC/Brake Assist).

Four new RoadX tyres for the price of one brand named tyre!
RoadX are owned by Sailun which also make great tyres.

Toyo Proxes Sport rated 60% while driving a Honda Fit (Jazz)
Driving on mostly country roads for 300 average miles
First off, ignore the optimistic reviews on here. They are obvious and sound like Yanks on crack with their excess positivity. Proxes are fine for the money, but pretty hopeless in some situations such as the wet, or over a cattle grid. Nearly lost control on hitting a cattle grid recently at relatively slow speed. I've had Proxes twice and wasn't all that impressed on either occasion in the wet.

Bridgestone Ecopia EP300 rated 87% while driving a Honda City
Driving on mostly town for 62700 average miles
I've just changed my tyres to this brand, so I'm kinda new with these tyres. However, I can say after a few weeks with this tyres... it is much better than previous tyres that I used. The tyre brand previously was Toyo (can't remember which model), it was ok... slightly rough, kinda loud road noise. Went to this tyre service centre, told them my budget... show them my car. In an instant the owner knew which tyre was perfect for me... at first I thought he was joking with the price, it is more cheaper that Toyo... and handling was far far better, smoother (bare in mind, its the raining reason so the road is always wet & slippery) and also quieter (I know... new tyres, of course its quieter). But for Bridgestone to give these kind of quality with this price point. I say yes, I would definitely recommend to others

Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 rated 67% while driving a Suzuki Swift
Driving on mostly motorways for 900 easy going miles
Hard to say about grip in wet and dry they seem OK and wear who knows but it's a new car they are OE factory fitted, the car ride is comfortable handles well with modest roll then again its a light modestly powered car. The mpg is around 60 the biggest downside is the noise on some road surfaces it might be made worse on s light car like this bit it's the worst of our cars.

Jinyu Gallopro YH18 rated 65% while driving a Honda Jazz
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
We have a Honda Jazz, not the sportiest vehicle on the market by some margin. These tyres were recommended as a good relative budget option by a local reputable vendor. They do what they say on the tin. Reasonable price, reasonable performance. A bit noisy for my liking and they have not lasted as well as I might have expected. Worn heavily on outside edges despite tracking being good when tested. Probably got just a couple of years out of then (c. 16000 miles). Have not had any major issues in the dry and they perform OK in the wet. Pretty good braking in dry conditions and OK if your braking sensibly in the wet. Slide a bit if having to brake hard in the wet. I would not recommend for a higher end vehicle driven fast and furious but as a tyre for a day to day run around they are fine.

Hankook Winter I cept RS3 rated 90% while driving a Suzuki Swift
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
I am very happy with Hankook Winter I cept RS3 on my Suzuki Swift 2017. I had a chance to try them on dry, wet and snow. Tyres perform excellent. I was the most amazed with snow grip. I wanted to "play" on empty parking lot, but I could not as the tyres were gripping to the snow covered surface so well that the car did not want to slide. Tyres perform great on the wet also. I can start almost like in dry with summer tyres. Dry grip is also excellent as expected. They grip well, but the feeling on the steering wheel is a bit soft, but afterall, it is winter tyre. Noise is ok, there is some extra on cca 100 km/h, but it goes away at 110 km/h. Consumption is also good, I did not notice some extra compared to summer. All in all, one of the best winter tyres I had in my life.

Landsail DH2 rated 47% while driving a Suzuki Swift
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
These tyres are absolutely great in the dry. Got a suzuki swift with these on and they handle pretty well in the dry. HOWEVER, in the slightest rain they become a bit unpredictable, steering feels too light as if its not gripping can feel a slight slide now and then wouldnt recommend in the uk. The wear on them is terrible, some of them have weirdly deformed treadwear, the shoulders of them have started to crack within 2 months. For the price you pay, they can get you from A to B but you would rather have the comfort of having better quality tyres on. Avon ZV7s at the moment are the same price if you get all 4 from ATS and handle very similarly to Falken Ziex 310s

Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 rated 81% while driving a Suzuki Baleno
Driving on a combination of roads for 28000 average miles
Came as standard on my car. Looking to replace them at 30,000 miles after a front to rear switch at around 20,000, so I would say wear rate acceptable. Found these tyres to perform excellent in both wet and dry. The car has excellent fuel economy so, although I can't compare as not had any other tyres on, I will presume them to be good in this respect.
