175/65 R15 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the i-Link L Grip 55
rated 37%
I've just bought a 2014 Mini Cooper with these tires. Was going to upgrade immediately to Michelin Primacy 4 but on inspection found them barely worn.
Have decided to keep them for the moment.
The Mini actually corners faster in the wet than any car I've owned in the dry except a Leon Cupra on Goodyear F1 Assymetrics that I love but aren't available for 15" wheels. I think though that this is in spite of the thres not because of them. What I don't like is that there is no feedback and the steering feels dead which takes away the Mini fun. I have no idea what the tires are doing until the car starts to run wide.
I also find that I am all the time making small corrections to drive in a straight line.
Will upgrade to the Michelins soon but must first replace some Autogrips on the front of my wife's Ford Ka with Falken ZE310. Absurd that my 50+ year old Triumph Herald with 145/13 Falken SN832 has more grip in the wet.

Not a nice experience using these tires. Grip was adequate, but unfortunately the very loud road noise from these tires made driving very unpleasant.

On my second set of this tires, I like them. Nothing high performance, and if you want to go as fast as possible therebare probably better choices, but for normal use on a daily driver these are great.

Writing about the Continental EcoContact 6
rated 61%
The Continental EcoContact 6 tires came as factory-fitted equipment on my Fiat Panda 4x4. The set currently has around 19,000 miles, with approximately 5,000 miles driven by me over one season. My usage included daily driving as well as brisk runs outside the city on narrow country roads.
On dry roads, grip is acceptable for an eco-focused tire. Steering response is predictable and stability is generally fine during normal and moderately spirited driving. I experienced one instance where the rear stepped out slightly in a corner, but it was progressive and easy to correct—nothing dangerous. That said, feedback is limited when the tire is pushed.
On wet roads, grip was okay, but below average for a premium tire. Braking and general traction were safe and predictable, but confidence was clearly lower compared to other premium options I’ve used. While performance was never alarming, it didn’t stand out either.
One of the tire’s strongest points is rolling resistance. It is genuinely low, contributing to good fuel efficiency, and the tires are very quiet, even at higher speeds.
The main downside is the compound and construction. The tire feels very soft, especially the sidewalls, which are noticeably thin. Over the course of 19,000 miles, each tire suffered two punctures, every time due to the weak tread layer, not side impacts. This significantly affected my confidence in long-term durability.
The tires are now down to around 4 mm of tread depth. While they are still technically usable, I personally would not recommend running them below this depth, especially considering wet performance and puncture resistance. Frankly, after dealing with repeated punctures, I’ve simply had enough.

Writing about the Michelin X Ice Snow
rated 87%
This is my third set of Xice tires
Just bought a new set have had two sets previously
Have driven on many different studded tires from cheapest to premium, went to studless as I was doing a long highway commute and was sick of the noise, and legal limits on when to have the tires on and off.
I drive in the worst of Canadian weather in Newfoundland Canada. Snow slush freezing rain we see it all.
The original Xice was better in deep snow
The newest ones are great winter tires but twitchy at the limit of traction
I only miss studs on wet smooth ice
If you drive on a well serviced road these are great tires
Had blizzacks DMV 2 on our van. There better but wear extremely fast
If you get a lot of smooth ice or wet ice go with the studded version or a Hakka 10 studded
Third set debating between Xice studded or Hakkas for my wife’s Subaru as she makes a trip across Newfoundland Canada at least once a winter 1000 km drive.

Writing about the Autogrip P308
rated 44%
These came fitted to a Honda Jazz I bought a few months ago. Not bad in the dry, but in cold, wet conditions they are truly dangerous! I would liken them to driving on ball bearings, with little to no grip whatsoever - and all this on a car with hardly a surplus of power! Despite having 6mm of tread on them I have thrown them in the skip - they just aren't worth the risk if you drive any amount in wet conditions.

Tires fitted to Mini one. All round i am very pleased with these tires. Have driven during very heavy rain on country roads and found to be very sure footed and reassuring grip.
Drives well in the dry and so far have not had any grip issues.

Very good tires overall, tried in very wet, wet and super dry/hot conditions. Impressed with the outcome. I must confirm that i don't do high speeds in my excess of 100-100km/h.
Insisted in buying again but had to make do with falken sm-110 as that was available. Will review those accordingly. As for wear and tear, tires been on car for 5 years daily driving rear are almost untouched and front started cracking hence needing replacing,still totally driveable on dry

Writing about the Bridgestone Ecopia EP25
rated 66%
The tire behaved great for what it is and stayed largely consistent for most of its life.
The standout thing that I'd like to raise some awareness about was how much and how quickly it degraded during the fifth year of its life (the last 4-5k miles of its ~27k mile life) and while still having plenty of tread on it. It was apparent under a few specific recurring circumstances, out of which the most obvious and most common was on tight horseshoe turns. If the front tires were loaded due to braking (just slight amounts of braking, consider that one enters the turn under brakes and gradually lifts so that they are fully released potentially before hitting the apex) they were eager to lose traction and slide outwards when nearing the apex. We are talking about just slight amounts of skidding that required no corrections from the driver. They were essentially just enough to affect your confidence in the car. Still, it was something that started happening relatively suddenly and consistently and we became aware of it both during trips & travels and on familiar corners on known roads where we had been taking the car for years and years.
Other than that most other characteristics remained relatively consistent till the end. That is their noise, their general braking performance (though, luckily, I didn't have the "opportunity" to do much emergency braking), their behavior under high speed turns, their traction under first gear acceleration (say uphill stop and go, or with a heavy foot off a green light).
Lastly, I didn't feel too comfortable riding them in heavy rain lately, but that was a rare enough occurrence that I don't have enough experience to express an informed opinion on.
When I retired it it still had plenty of tread on it so I assume most of the degradation in performance was probably caused by the rubber aging.

Writing about the Falken Sincera SN110 Ecorun
rated 94%
I replace Goodyear Duragrip early with 22.000km on them because i was not satisfied with them (my review here> https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Goodyear/DuraGrip.htm) I have these Falken from over 1000km now. The ride became more refined as expected from my experience with SN832B (previous model of SN110) on another car. That means comfort is very good to the point that i feel like my suspenion changed! They are not so quiet but the noise has a more ...premium sound in town and on rough roads. On highway they are brilliant to the point that you think they were made only for cruising at speeds up to 140km/h! Stability, noise and comfort are TOP, reminded me premium brands i had on the past. No wet experience yet but i bet it will be way better than the previous. As for consumption with Goodyear i had 4,7lt/100km and they had A rating so i expected with the C rating of Falken to be over 5 but my consumption increased only to 4,8!!! Great job Falken!

Writing about the Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2

worst quality tire. I got my tire changes after 6.5 year of car purchase and unfortunately I bought goodyear tire for the change. Now I am in a situation to replace the tires within 2.5year of purchase with only 20-25k Km running. Every few days, one of the tire gets punctured these days and I am really struggling. Company is not accepting the quality issue and says that 2 out of 4 tires are worn out more than 60% so they will not change the tire. Just within 2.5year with only 20-25km running over this period, i need to buy new tires. that's crazy, pl don't buy goodyear tire.

Very pleased with the Altenzo Sports Equators on our 2015 Suzuki Swift. Mixture of town and country driving. Really can't fault them. Would certainly buy again.
