165/65 R14 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32
rated 76%
After 3 years they are very hard and uncomfortable. A descent tire with good braking performance -a lot better than previous FALKEN SINCERA SN832. I would try a newer tire if found in reasonable price else I would buy them again

Writing about the Arivo Premio Arzero
rated 21%
These are without a doubt the worst tires I have ever driven on. They came brand new on a used VW UP! That I bought and unfortunately are incredibly poor.
Even in the dry they offer very little grip and often slip on inclines or sharp turns. In the wet it’s even worse, the car feels so unstable and doesn’t feel connected to the road at all. They have also worn very rapidly compared to the Michelin Primacy 4+ on my other car. I cannot recommend these tires ever or at all.

I m driving a byd f0 2014
Even the car is light the tires performed in excellent way even in taking corners
My suspension all over is new serviced and all parts been replaced
I don't know if next year would have the same performance as they're new

rated 40%
The overal grip is very bad specialy on wet weather, on hot weather over 28 degree the tires are screaching when you are making turns with low speed 15/25km you can clearly hear them im gussing its the same with higher speed but the noise of the tires are higher compere to the sound they make so can`t really tell. On hot weather when you at light and start you can hear them screaching again couse the grip is not good and the tires are превъртат.
NB. This are my first all season tires so not much to compere outside seasonal tires.

Writing about the Nexen N Blue HD Plus
rated 77%
Fitted these tires after my stock hankooks got burned in a storage fire accident. Doing second season on them and find them pretty well-balanced in all summer conditions for non-performance car like mine. They were good in a heatwave 2024, also fitted them way too early when it was still few weeks of sub-zero night temperatures this spring, got in a heavy rain on a highway few times, everything went well. Long trips are comfortable and no punctures so far. I wish they were a bit stiffer to have better steering feedback and less sidewall roll.

Writing about the Hankook Kinergy 4S2
rated 70%
We got tired of the swapping between summer and winter tires, especially since - where we live - driving on snow is a rarity. All Seasons should do the trick! And after a local promotion meant tires + mounting was done for €399, they have proven to do so indeed!
I can't tell you much about how good or bad the tires are 'at the limit', with a 1.0 Spark on LPG there isn't much sportiness to be had anyway! I can however tell you that they have always filled me with confidence when driving, especially in the wet. The tires were a bit noisy and uncomfortable for the first 1500 or so km, but after that they quieted down do their current and quite comfortable noise levels.
Unfortunately the right front tire only lasts about 35.000 km, but that is almost definitely caused by the large amounts of roundabouts on 80kmh/50mph roads where I live. If this wouldn't be so I think we could get to 50.000 km on these tires, with some rotating between the front and rear . The attached pictures are of the left front and left rear, they have 3,5 mm and 5,5 mm of tread left respectively.
All in all, especially for this type of car these tires have proven to more than satisfactory, and I would certainly look to buy them again once they are worn out completely.

I have done 40,000 miles and the tires still have useful life, very good on highway and dirt roads, also the braking and grip is very good.

Writing about the Dunlop All Season 2
rated 73%
Only driven a few hundred kilometers so far but the first impression is very good compared to the Kumho solus 4s ha32 that was on the car before. The tires tend to squeak when driving a little faster but have never lost grip so far. I have no complaints on wet roads either. I can't say anything about wear and snow performance yet. I would buy the tires again at this point.

Writing about the Nokian Nordman 7
rated 74%
I have been using these Nordman 7's for 4 years as dedicated winter tires for my 2000 Honda Insight Hybrid. This is a very unusual car, and driving it year round presents some challenges due to the narrow rear track relative to the front. It is easy for ruts or bumps in packed snow and ice to nudge the rear end out more than in a car with similar front and rear track widths. The car is also very lightweight, has a super short wheelbase and has very small diameter wheels at 14 inches. All of this conspires to make finding a good extreme condition, or Nordic, winter tire difficult but critical for winter driving. I tried the Nokian Nordman 7 and have found that their performance is excellent in the conditions they were intended for, cold temperatures and deep or packed snow and ice. I have yet to get stuck even when the snow is deeper than my front air dam, or the roads are covered in ice. The loud roar of the studs just reminds me that I have grip and am safer, so I don't mind it much. Sadly, I do not see this size for sale any longer, good thing they seem not to wear much!

Mixed feelings.
I absolutely loved it for the first two seasons! Superb braking and sharp handling in the wet is clearly what this tire is designed to do. They made the car feel very playful in the city and both confident & quiet when it hit the road. No real problems on snowy uphills and driving through heavy slush during this time. In dry weather the tires were pretty okay - nothing spectacular but the handling and braking does get worse as it gets warmer (above 10 Celsius).
My biggest problem with these tires is their excessive treadwear over time which quickly degrades the properties of an otherwise brilliant tire. When I put them on for the third (and final) season we finally got some heavy snow and ice on the roads and I could feel that they started to struggle with moving and braking, especially on compacted snow/ice. Once the thread was about 4.5mm the tires became noticeably louder and there was a sharp decrease in wet performance. After 3 seasons, at the 4mm mark the tires no longer inspire any confidence and simply need to be replaced. I'd say the LM005 are a good option, although quite an expensive one in the long run. Great tire for Central European winters in a daily car i.e. where wet performance in the cold is the single most important criteria, but snow/ice capabilities simply cannot be ignored like in the case of milder climates. One can clearly see that Bridgestone pushed for the EU label (A in wet braking) but compromised heavily on treadwear and the total-life concept other brands are known for. Bridgestone seems to have paid the price for this in recent tests where it was devaluated for excessive wear - question is whether consumers are willing to pay the higher price too ;)
