Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Factory fitted by the manufacturer. The most disappointing aspect is certainly the road holding on wet asphalt: the car tends to understeer heavily even at low speed, for example when traveling around a roundabout. Consumption is average as is noise. I've never had emergency situations in the dry, so I can't evaluate the performance in these situations: the sensation is of just enough precision when cornering.

Writing about the Nokian WetProof given 97% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
I am reading comments badmouthing these tyres and I find it disrespectful to a nokian brand, one of the best that works for bridgestone creating some tyres for them even if this is not known and that has been the first brand in history to create the first winter tyre. This tyre has a road grip far superior to the rest, it can be said that its grip is similar to competition tyres and the reason why it grips more than the rest is because they are soft compounds that unlike Michelin, which are usually harder compounds, they sacrifice wear vs. adherence on the asphalt. So it is normal that they last less km than other brands because of the type of compound but they grip much better. The size of the tyre also has an influence, as a 205/55 R16 V tyre is not the same as a 225/45 R17 Y tyre, and driving style also has an influence on wear (if you drive more aggressively and brake more, the tyre wears out first). But wear is also influenced by the type of road you drive on. A road made of concrete or a mountain road, wears the tyres much more than another type of road, also a bad and cracked road is normal to destroy and crack the tyres because it would be the same thing that happens when you hit a broken pavement and the asymmetrical pieces jagged on the pavement in a soft compound tyre can literally tear off pieces of rubber. This same thing on asphalt will cause pieces of rubber to break off the tyre and crack. As you can see there are a lot of influences. This tyre for the price/performance is the best.

Writing about the Uniroyal RainSport 5 given 94% (205-55-16-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 37 average miles
Fiat Tipo 2018. Mileage 25,000 km/year. I use it 80% on the highway. On dry roads, I did not notice any difference compared to other branded manufacturers. Excellent on water. Excellent value for money. Noise level is pleasant. I cannot evaluate rubber wear in a negative direction, because I change it sooner than wear.

Writing about the Kleber Quadraxer 2 given 60% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 easy going miles
This is my first all seasons tyres set so I can't compare with any previously all seasons. I am definitely satisfied with the choice made with Quadraxer2. I chose all seasons tires mainly for the low annual mileage which does not justify 2 sets of tires. I find the behavior of the tires very honest and safe on all terrains and weather conditions but never driven on ice. I find that they have a good quality / price ratio

Writing about the Toyo NanoEnergy 3 given 53% (165-70-13-T)
Driving on mostly town for 7000 average miles
Good grip on dry, but on the wet i had an overall bad experience. Due to an episode where while soft braking on a paved road on a rainy day these tyres decided not to participate in braking and ended up going on a wall, i decided to change them, despite having almost all of thread left. Wear is not an issue, in 7000km i had them, they only lost way less than 1mm. Very comfortable on city roads and on highway. Definitely not buying again this model, i've used other toyo tyres that are waaay better than these.

Writing about the Vredestein T Trac given 64% (185-60-14-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 15000 average miles
Had 4 of these fitted and they were great when new. Confort was goos and the wet handling was just great with a fabulous aquaplaning resistance. The dry performance is not that impressive unfortunately. Not that it is a bad tyre in the dry-it's a good one. But not as impressive as in the wet.
They tend to wear fast, at least with my driving style and do loose the confort and grip as the time passes by. But it's a predisctable honest tyre. After buying other set's of tyres i just come to the conclusion that iwas a good tyre for the money but as been surpassed by evolution and now a days are more efficient tyres out there.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza RE720 given 93% (195-50-15-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 20000 spirited miles
One of the best tyres ever created. Production ceased a few years ago but I still have these on my 2.0 16v Tipo. 5 years old at the time of writing and no cracking. Feedback through the tyre is amazing, and you can take them right up to the edge of grip with confidence. Even with spirited driving these have not worn much. Comfort could be a little better due to the Bridgestone's stiff sidewalls but it's a sacrifice I'll gladly take for their sometimes unbelievable grip.
