155/65 13 Tire Review Highlights

Uniroyal RainExpert 3 rated 75% while driving a Fiat Seicento 1.1 MPI FIRE (sporting)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 easy going miles
I drive a Seicento Sporting but due to lack of good tires in 165/55r13, I have chosen to go to 155/65r13 which is a dimension with more and better choices. Uniroyals Rain Expert 3 were chosen based on their wet handling and small price difference compared to budget tires. I also tend to choose newer designs thinking that there must be some improvement compared to older designs offered by the same manufacturer or by other brands (I had Barum Brillantis 2 before the Uniroyals) I am satisfied with this choice as it provided what I was expecting, good wet handling and decent dry handling accompanied with little wear (allthough that was never going to be a problem with a light and underpowered car like the Seicento). I miss the feeling that the lower profile tire provides but I drive a little less aggressive as I get older. Will I buy them again? It depends whether there is a better tire in 155/65r13 or a safe tire in 165/55r13 when they have to be replaced.

Rockstone Ice Plus S110 rated 57% while driving a Daewoo Matiz
Driving on a combination of roads for 1800 easy going miles
Bought these Made in China tires in winter 2012 for my mothers Matiz, as these were the cheapest winter tires in this size, plus she rarely drives in winter
Good on snow and ice, now in 2019 they are still elastic enough, the rubber has aged well.
Granted, they were driven very little - on average 500 km per season

These are the noisiest tires Ive ever had on a car.

Debica Passio 2 rated 66% while driving a Daewoo Matiz
Driving on a combination of roads for 10500 easy going miles
Got them in spring 2013, they are still elastic enough and have adequate tread wear.
Noisy at high speed, but otherwise good budget tires for unpretentious cars and drivers.

Rovelo RHP 780 rated 81% while driving a Chevrolet Spark
Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
For this type of vehicle, very good actually, very grippy, good initial tread, good wear, quite silent, a very good tire for city use.
Almost two years and still going strong, resisting very well on a car with not so good suspension angles from the factory (tends to wear the outside of the front tires usually).

Matador MP 16 Stella 2 rated 80% while driving a Fiat Panda
Driving on a combination of roads for 50000 easy going miles
Very long life on Fiat Panda 1.1 Hobby. Comfortable, very good grip in dry, good in the wet if shock- absorbers are ok. A bit understeering if compared to Toyo 350 i had before these tires. Never problems, probably i' ll by them again.

Kumho Solus KH17 rated 64% while driving a Daewoo Matiz
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 easy going miles
Very quiet tire, much quieter than Avon ZT5 and quieter than Barum Brilliantis. You pay for that with very high wear though. Grip is better than Barum Brilliantis but not as good as Avon ZT5.

Barum Brillantis rated 60% while driving a Daewoo Matiz
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 easy going miles
Average grip, wear and noise. Less grip then Avon ZT5 but less noisy too. Good cheap tire.

Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 easy going miles
Better grip than Barum Brilliantis and Khumo KH17, but quite a bit noisier than both. Average wear.
