Ford Fiesta Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 given 74% (195-55-15-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 30000 average miles
First 10,000 ~ 12,000 miles were impressive. While cornering i noted a slight tendence to understeer on slippery under some conditions where regular tyres (i drive other car with "economy tyres") behave as they should. Breaking under wet conditions (straight) is quite good but when slightly cornering and breaking story could be different activating other car systems (ABS, TCS or ESP). Wear, visually, is not very noticeable but it does in perfomance so i understand this is a normal condition on "mid-tier" UHP tyres however this is why after 20,000 miles i will another set of new Ventus in my car, yes i will buy them again.

PS - OEM tyres were Hankook Optimo H426 which used to have limited contact with the road. :P

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate Plus given 91% (195-50-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 21000 spirited miles
Pros:
Excellent dry cornering and braking
Very good on snow and ice
Even with occasional faster driving the tyres have lasted over 20,000 miles and still have between 3/4mm of tread left.

Cons:
Does not perform particularly well in the rain. Car gets pulled around a lot by standing water. However, it does feel in control when letting off the accelerator as it slows down.

Driving on a combination of roads for 70 spirited miles
I have a ford fiesta ecoboost and do spirited driving daily in South Africa. These tyres have lasted me easily over 60 000km. They are strong and deal with potholes with no issue. Grip is substantial in dry but I don't feel as confident in the wet. All in all I would definitely buy again for the price!

Writing about the Toyo Proxes CF2 given 90% (195-50-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 average miles
put a pair on the front roughtly 18 months/12000 miles ago and about to have the rears changed to the same. compared to the other tyres we've had on our Fiesta (Pirelli, Kumho, Arrowspeed) these Toyo CF2s are by far the best. they are lighter on the steering and very positive when pushed through corners, comfortable and less noisy plus the wear rate looks good too. the only negative I found is that they need quite a long time to scrub-in and come up to full grip, roughly 1500-2000 miles.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125 given 80% (195-45-16-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 17000 average miles
The performance of these tyres was better than expected and were purchased in late November 2021. They hold the road well in most conditions when the air temperature is above freezing. In terms of handling, we haven't experienced any issues. I have just replaced the front tyres as they were reaching end of life. The rear tyres are still going strong. Approximately 17000 road miles, I'm not unimpressed!

Writing about the Matador MP 62 All Weather Evo given 63% (185-60-14-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 easy going miles
It's an okay tyre overall. It is neither stiff nor soft, it handles okay but there is little feedback from the road. In wet conditions it could be a little better as the car understeers easily. In light snow and ice it's very good for an all weather tyre. It has lasted 40000 km before it started to crack on the sidewalls . My only problem is that it can be very very noisy epsecially in high speed. I'm not gonna buy it again mainly for the rolling noise.

Driving on mostly country roads for 20000 easy going miles
I have these tires for about 30000 km. They are very good in dry and wet conditions, especially in aquaplaning. They are also soft and comfortable. Tigar is a Michelin sub company

Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
After a few heat cycles the tires are reasonable in the dry - once they heat a bit, they hold very well. In the wet conditions its not really a tyre to drive...just to get to the destination. A little loud but not dramatically. To buy or not? It depends. If you can opt for Toyos new (200TW) R1R / new TR1, I would select them over any other tyre for track / daily+track use (respectuvely) - these two are great in the wet.

Terrible tyres, noisy and awful wet grip. Came on the car from Arnold Clarke they will be changed before they are worn out.

Writing about the Matador MP 16 Stella 2 given 60% (175-65-14-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Absolute last resort. It is perfectly fine in dry conditions, very resilient in terms of wear, very nice comfort and grip. But any wetness means you go aquaplanning all over the place with even the slightest brake force. It's definitely not controllable during an aquaplanning, definitely chaotic handling at the rear wheels. I've never seen this with any tires with my car. They are very cheap, but very annoying to drive in rain, both in town and especially on highways.

Writing about the Goodyear EfficientGrip given 99% (195-45-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
I used to buy Yokohama. My local fitter suggested putting two new Goodyears on the front, as they were 10 years old and down to 3mm. £200 all inclusive. Seems expensive, but he said it was the best choice for me. So I went with his recommendation. Results: The steering seems just slightly less connected to the road, but not enough to matter. This is more than made up for by several factors: the ride is smoother, there is less road noise, the grip exceptional (bearing in mind the Yokos were down to 3mm). I had 6mm on my Yoko rears so he told me to keep them (OFC), but when I replace it will be Goodyear .... for many good years of motoring :D
