Mercedes Benz C180 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental UltraContact given 90% (225-50-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
Excellent grip both in dry and wet conditions. Only aquaplaning resistance in deeper puddles seems a bit average compared to my previous Michelin Primacy 4s. Its not bad, but just less impressive. Otherwise grip levels are similar. Road feedback is decent although steering response is not very sharp as the tyre has very soft sidewall. Otherwise handling characteristics are very balanced and safe. Grip runs out progressively and there are no obvious understeer or oversteer characteristics. Feels very safe and controllable even at limit. Once again compared to my previous Primacy 4s this feels better. Primacy 4s had a ton of grip, but once you ran out of the grip, there was quite a lot of sudden understeer. UltraContacts give better confidence at the limit. Best part of the tyre is comfort an noise levels. It's super smooth and silent compared to Primacy 4s which were in my opinion quite harsh and had nasty sound. after around 5000km can't really comment of wear. At least there is no noticeable wear at this stage, so seems good.
Overall I would recommend these to anyone looking for comfortable and safe touring tyre. If sportiness is very important for you, then look elsewhere.

Writing about the Uniroyal RainSport 5 given 91% (245-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 20500 miles
Had Uniroyal Rainsport 5 for 33000km so I’m considering wear to be really good. Other than that I would say that tyres are good package. They are little bit slow to react compared to PilotSports or Asymmetric6. On the wet tyres are really good especially for aquaplaning. Comfort is mainly noise level for me and in this matter Uniroyals are average.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 given 84% (245-40-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 12500 average miles
Good tyre but wears fast. Have had Goodyear Asymmetric 6 for 20000km and rears are done. Uniroyal Rainsport 5 lasted for 33000km. So, compared to those Goodyears wear very badly and Uniroyals are considered high wearing tyre.

That said wear is about only negative. Tyres are quiet, have really good grip and fast and communicative turn in.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza S001 given 41% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 100 average miles
These are not premium grade tyres despite the price very disappointing.handles poorly,buy Continental or Michelin for same price and they’re night and day superior.

Writing about the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 given 80% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 400 spirited miles
before them i had the Dunlop direzza in front and michlen sport 4 in the back ( because i had to change the fronts), and those feel less sporty and slightly less fun to drive. but the comfort of p7c2 is much better. hadnt tested them much in wet conditions but when it rained they performed well and in the dry also the grip was excellent so far they feel and drive as premium touring tires

Writing about the Continental Premium Contact 6 given 94% (225-50-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
I have used these tires about 15000 kilometers. It feels absolutely safe on both dry and wet surfaces. The best performance tire I've ever used, especially on dry ground. The only missing point is that it is a bit loud compared to its competitors. Overall I recommend it to everyone.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 4 given 70% (195-65-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 easy going miles
Tyre performs as you would expect a michelin to, HOWEVER, tyre wall is covered extensively in a fine ribbed pattern that makes the tyre look grey-faded from day one. Very disappointing design flaw in my opinion. May be less of a problem if you have a narrow sidewall, but my 195/65/15’s look awful.

Writing about the Dunlop Sport BluResponse given 67% (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Previously tires on this car are Dunlop FastResponse MO, Hankook Ventus Prime K125, good tires with no obvious fault except poor wear. I have also used Michelin Primacy 3 and Michelin Primacy 4 on this car, it was not good performance, especially the Primacy 3 which was very poor on this car. The Dunlop BluResponse are good tires both wet and dry, good braking, good and stable directional stability, good cornering, good handling and response, good comfort and low noise. But the wear rate is incredibly bad, I am not sure how many km I drove with these tires, maybe ca 7000-8000 km and then they were worn to the markers with 99% normal driving and a little testing on the limits. Chunks of the thread was falling of and it seems like a rather poor build quality, most likely dangerous as well especially when driving on fast motorways/highways. Although the driving performance is good without any fault I can not at all recommend these tires based on the horrific wear and the obvious danger with disintegrating thread.
