Driving on mostly motorways for 60000 easy going miles
Got these tyres brand new with my car but the standout feature is...the wear! These have lasted me 100,000km and only now do they need replacing. Will go for these again. All other traits are pass marks, never lost grip in wet etc.

Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
This tires came OEM in my Subaru Forester, the tires are great, good grip in dry and wet, not noisy, and good feedback.
They are not made for performance but for confort and peace of mind.
My forester has 25 000 miles and still has about 35-40% of the tread.
Wont buy them again cuz they are hard to find and expensive.

Writing about the Bridgestone Dueler HL 400 given 80% (225-55-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 52 average miles
OEM on a 2015 Subaru Forester Touring. Wear-bar showing at 52K mi. Rotated every season while I use my studded winter tire setup. They became a harsher and noisier ride as the tread worn down. Think I'll try a high quality all-season tire next that has a 70K mi warranty, rather than this summer tire. These Duelers did okay for OEM and have been reliable even in very mild winter snow conditions before I switch to my studded tire setup.

Writing about the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 given 57% (225-55-18-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 35000 easy going miles
After 15.000 km, the road facing tread of the front tires began to peel off. Also there was uneven wear on all 4 tires; where the tread become wider. It is now giving a shaky ride and i will replace them. (50.000 km driven). They still have enough depth to go 30k km but uneven wear makes them unusable.

Driving on mostly motorways for 26000 easy going miles
After 1 year of use the front tires began to tear, after another afew months those damaged threads began to fall off. İt is really sad and dangerous as my opinion.

Writing about the Falken Wildpeak AT given 73% (225-60-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
When they were new, everything was right but, after 20 000km, they began to suffer from age. The worst was the aquaplanning which became dangerous. I had to slow down a lot to not change track on water spot. It was the first time in my life I felt this unsecure situation. Other, the snow ans ice grip dramatically went down. Very comfortable tire, almost no noise, very good on dry pavement. Very good gas consumption. Everything was perfect until they came to the second part of their life.

Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 easy going miles
These tyres handle ok in the dry, but would have to be the worst tyres I’ve ever driven in the wet. It’s like you’re driving on soap. Very sketchy dangerous in the wet. I don’t recommend at all!!

Writing about the Silverstone Atlantis V7 given 53% (225-55-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 40000 average miles
The dry grip is decent and presents no problem at all. The wet grip is so dangerous. The braking on wet roads is long and the ABS cannot compensate. The handling on wet roads is precarious and leads you to not go more than 40 km/h on turns and down hills. Dangerous car on wet. On snow : 0 The wear rate was excellent. After more than 60'000 km they are good and little wear. Will not buy again surely.

Writing about the Continental CrossContact ATR given 89% (225-60-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 82000 average miles
Have had these tyres for 4 years and counting on a Forester. Have done over 130,000 Km so far. These tyres are exceptional. Still have roughly 3-4mm of tread all around at the moment. Have driven in all conditions. All performance good, with snow performance exceptional. Everyday road performance seems perfect. Wet performance is pretty good, haven’t had any issues anyway. Efficiency seems pretty good, didn’t perform any worse than stock geolander tyres.

Writing about the Toyo Celsius given 57% (-60-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6 easy going miles
Purchased the Celsius CUV tires for 2019 Forester. At first tires seemed fine except for a more bouncy sidewall feel. Over time noticed tires respond to raised bumps in front or back depending on tire rotation. No response from Toyo after two tries. Dealer could not duplicate complaint. Decided to replace tires because they do not seem to provide a stable feel. Previously had Celsius on Corolla and they were fine. Great snow performance not too good wet panic stopping. Otherwise no complaints. For V rated tire sidewall does not seem to match expectations of ride quality.
