Peugeot 207 SW 1.6 HDI (90) Sport Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 given 93% (205-55-16-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 17000 spirited miles
I have a peugeot 207sw 1.6hdi. I have normally bought either continental or toyos for my car, which only last about 12 months (10000 miles) to the wear indicators. Decided on these goodyears this time, so glad i did. Goodyear EG2 are fabulous. Wet grip when new to below half tread is phonominal and dry grip is better than the toyo cf2 and continentals by a long way. And as a bonus the Goodyears are very noticably quieter. They last much longer even though they are softer feeling. I drive pretty quickly everywhere and my daily drive has several tight corners, narrow regularly flooded sections and roundabouts. And i am now about to buy the goodyear EG2's again after 20 months and 17000 miles. Top tip: try searching for slightly different sized tyres then what is fitted to your car. For example, my car is supposed to have 195/55/16. The Goodyear EG2's were £94.76 each fitted. But by changing the tyre size slightly to 205/55/16 they came in at £62.99 each fitted. Thats one hell of a difference AND they are slightly wider! Obviously before you buy bigger tyres, check that you have enough clearance to the suspension and arches. Or you could go down a size and may have a good saving. I was told by my fitter that the price difference is due to the bigger tyre being much more common size so the price is lower!

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate given 77% (195-55-16-H)
Driving on mostly country roads for 20000 average miles
Have ran the original CrossClimates for a couple of years now up in Cumbria. Wet and dry performance has been great, I don't push the limits but do drive fairly quick when I need to, usually I try to drive as economically as possible. They have worn really evenly across the tread and never really felt like a worn tyre like others usually do as you get below 3mm. Michelin weren't lying about their efforts to maintain performance as the tyre wears, while I'm sure it does change, it doesn't seem like it. They've also been very stable regardless of the temperature.

Saw snow twice, the first time was maybe 1-2 inches down but small FWD estate that was 4-up managed a 13 degree uphill incline covered in snow and slush without too much drama. It wandered laterally a little bit but once it found grip it was away, not bad considering the tread would have been at around 3.5mm at that point in time. The 2nd time with newer tyres, the ol' Beast from the East struck us and our village was cut off for a few days as we'd had over a foot of snow down. Needless to say it caused trouble and even the farmers in their tractors were spinning their drive wheels hunting for grip. The problem was a 2" thick layer of ice sitting underneath all the snow. On day 2 I cleared the snow from around the car and attempted to move it, silly idea that was. Looking back, I don't think anything other than studded tyres would have worked due to the ice, even a metal shovel struggled to break it up.

All in all they have been good tyres, no scary moments to speak of. I agree with many of the test results regarding aquaplaning as it does seem a weakness compared to other tyres I've used in the past and they tend to bounce through deep puddles rather than cut through them. On the open road in heavy rain though I've not had any aquaplaning issues but then most of my driving is very rough country lanes. Which not only harbour endless puddles and potholes but also seem to shred tyres faster than normal. They only had 6mm tread when new which was disappointing, hopefully the CC+ will have improved on this.
