215/55 18 Tyre Review Highlights

Accelera Iota ST68 rated 84% while driving a Nissan Qashqai
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
I have had these tyres on my car for 3 years,covering almost 18,000 miles. The rears are practically still new the fronts have about 3 mm left on them.
Living and driving in central Scotland we have a lot of rain, and these tyres have never let me down in some challenging conditions including snow.
Just starting to feel the front not as grippy as they have been. I will be looking to replace them within the next 1000/2000 miles,i can honestly say these tyres haven't let me down in Dry and Wet.

Bridgestone Turanza T005 rated 74% while driving a Mazda CX30
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 easy going miles
Very good longevity as I hit 60k km and tires looks nearly new, good rolling resistance, very good dry handling, only decent wet performance but keep in mind very low aquaplaning capabilities. With cold weather in wet conditions they become nearly dangerous, so not the ideal tire for winter. I would not buy them again as comfort is poor, car feels too rigid, on non perfect tarmac they are simply noisy.

Hifly HP801 rated 20% while driving a Toyota 2006 Avalon
Driving on a combination of roads for 600 average miles
I started to feel like the wheels needed balancing. When rear tyre was removed there was a huge bulge in the middle of the tread due to a separation inside the tire. I was told it was a defect in manufacturing. They have only done a few hundred miles. Time to change

Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125 rated 87% while driving a Mazda CX 3
Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 spirited miles
Purchased a front set on my mazda cx-3 about 2 years ago, have done 22,000 miles and still on 3.5 mm and cant feel any difference in quality. Driven over a mix of motorway. Country and city roads. Would definitely purchase again as was only £35 per tyre more then budgets and lasted twice as long

Michelin Primacy 4 rated 49% while driving a Peugeot e 2008
Driving on a combination of roads for 13000 easy going miles
I've had these tyres on from new and honestly, I'm not that impressed. Both me and my wife have the same car, except hers came on Goodyear Efficenct Grip Performance and mine came with the Primacy 4's. They handle perfectly in dry weather but in the wet, they feel very squirmy and unsettled. I've frequently provoked wheelspin on junctions and during acceleration on roundabouts in wet weather. They are also wearing poorly, at 13,600 miles, they have 2mm of tread left on the front and 3mm at the rear. The Goodyears on my wife's have 21,000 miles on them, and are at 2mm. The Michelins also ride much harder than the Goodyears and are louder too. Overall they are just about okay, but I wouldn't pick them over the Goodyear or Pirelli equivalents, especially when they are considerably more expensive.

Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 average miles
Compared to Michelin they are "OK".. Not sth fancy. Cornering is good , braking is medium but comfort and economy is bad. In an suv I can feel every road imperfection. Bad performance when it's cold.

A safe and comfortable tyre with predictable handling. Dry grip is good but does not have a sporty feel. Struggles for grip under full power when wet (instant torque from electric motor!). Tyre noise is fairly low. Good resistance to wear and seems to have low friction which helps electric range.
