155/65 R13 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact
rated 33%
I've had a lot of Goodyear tires in the past & usually rate them quite highly but these efficient grip have got to be one of the worst tires I've ever had. They have been on for only 6 months & 5,000 miles & even with regular rotating, maintaining correct tire pressures etc all 4 tires have worn down to 3/4 mm in that short amount of time & mileage which I think is unacceptable considering they are supposed to be a "premium" brand. Goodyear should have called these "not efficient grip" as the dry & wet grip is awful & also the amount of tire fold which occurs when driving in a spirited manner is just something else. So to sum things up I don't usually buy budget tires but I've had better budget tires that came with cars I've bought than these ditch finders. I'm ditching these tires this week for a set of Uniroyal's, I'd heard recently that Goodyear had been bought out by a budget brand & it definitely shows, they used to be my go to buy after these tires I will not be purchasing Goodyear's ever again

Writing about the Uniroyal RainExpert 3
rated 75%
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.

Writing about the Rockstone Ice Plus S110
rated 57%
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.

Writing about the Debica Passio 2
rated 66%
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.

Writing about the Rovelo RHP 780
rated 81%
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).

Writing about the Matador MP 16 Stella 2
rated 80%
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.

Writing about the Kumho Solus KH17
rated 64%
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.

Writing about the Barum Brillantis
rated 60%
Average grip, wear and noise. Less grip then Avon ZT5 but less noisy too. Good cheap tire.

Better grip than Barum Brilliantis and Khumo KH17, but quite a bit noisier than both. Average wear.
