155/70 13 Tire Review Highlights

Nexen N Blue 4 Season rated 76% while driving a Suzuki Swift
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 easy going miles
Overall a good tire. Even when pushed ( snowdrifitng ) the handling stays predictable. Defining characteristic is the tendency of understeer in all conditions (cant tell if its due to the car or tire).
This tire likes cool temperatures. Handles snow, wet or just overall cold dry tarmac well. Understeer starts to appear above 20°C. Around 30°C it has apparent understeer..

Can recommend it to anyone who is just commuting with the car, does want to feel safe even in the winter but the yearly mileage does not justify having 2 sets of seasonal tires. Especially now that there is barely any proper winter this is a great choice.

Sava PERFECTA rated 37% while driving a Fiat 1.2 16V
Driving on mostly town for 10000 easy going miles
I bought a second car for errands and they were fitted already on it. They were almost brand new so I didn't change them immediately. In the first few months they were average although wet grip was bad. After a year or so they began to lose traction on wet roads with only 10-20 km/h. I finally changed them after I crashed on the highway during an emergency stop as they couldn't stop the car on time and made me crash on the car in front of me. After putting the new tires on and fixing the damages I realized how uncomfortable, noisy and bumpy they were. The car now feels silky smooth compared to before. The only positive thing with them is that they didn't seem to wear at all. Definitely stay away. Good tires are cheaper than fixing damages from a crash.

Falken Eurowinter HS01 rated 80% while driving a Fiat
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 average miles
I just bought these tires so I cant say about their durability either snow grip. These are the best tires I have driven on wet surfaces, amazing grip after i swapped my old firestone multihawk 2. Dry grip and braking is OK, nothing special. The only downside for me is noise but they are winter tires so its not unusual. I am yet to test them in the snow or ice. Great tire for money so far!!!

Firestone Multihawk rated 91% while driving a Chevrolet Spark
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 average miles
The previous owner fitted them in 2012, i have the car from 2017, they have traveled around 35.000 km they still have good thread and grip on dry amazing, little weaker on wet, but they are 8 years old so i'm changing them, might buy again if they are still in production.

Kenda KOMET PLUS KR23 rated 54% while driving a Fiat Uno Hatchback (146)
Driving on mostly country roads for 25000 average miles
Average in dry conditions, screeches in corners even at low speed. Absolutely no grip on wet roads, even applying the brakes slowly makes the front lock, I lost grip while going through a roundabout at 10km/h. If you try to push the car you start losing grip in the corners even in 40°C heat, and I am driving a 800kg 57hp city car, I wouldn't recommend these tires even to my worst enemy, awful experience, I recommend to avoid them for the novice drivers, these will get you in a crash. Only good thing about them is the wear and the price.

Falken Eurowinter HS01 rated 78% while driving a Fiat Seicento 1.1 MPI FIRE (sporting)
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 average miles
I decided to try these tires after a positice experience with a set of Falken summer tires, the sincera sn832 ecorun.

I found these pretty good especially on dry and wet roads, they have good grip and the steering response is nearly as precise as the sn832.
Comfort and noise are more on the average side, but they seem to wear quite well at the moment. Snow performance is quite good but not fantastic.

In summary this tire is quite dynamic and more dry/wet oriented. I would especially recommend them for milder climates where snow is rarer.

Falken Sincera SN832 Ecorun rated 83% while driving a Fiat Seicento 1.1 MPI FIRE (sporting)
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 spirited miles
For small sizes (12"/13"/14"), only a few manufacturers develop good tires with modern technologies. These are one of those, and it shows. Grip is really good on both dry and wet roads. While the sidewalls aren't as firm as i would have liked, the outer shoulder blocks in the tread are rigid enough to provide a good steering response and stable cornering. In the wet they are probably the best tires for this size, also proved by the A class EU rating for wet braking. In my opinion comfort is just slighty above average. I won't judge wear or fuel consumption, as i haven't used them a lot.

In summary, while these can't be considered sporty/high performance tires (155/70 r13 is not a sporty size), they are miles away from the eco/long life models available in this size, in terms of grip/handling/feedback. I highly recommended them.

Riken All Star 2 rated 81% while driving a Daewoo Matiz
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
Better than I expected from a cheap tire. The noise is the same as the old Bridgestone worn by Daewoo Matiz. The car stops well with these tires, the tire is soft and easily climbs along the curb. I'll buy it again because it justifies the price.
