185/60 R15 Tires

Tires have a good life in Greek weather for 2 years after that too much wrinkles on the tire losing around 60% of its capabilities making it uncomfortable to have them on the vehicle.
Lost a lot of is grip which was excelent for over a year.
In the 3rd year i replaced it since i was bot feeiling comfortable whenever a had ro brake in dry and it gave a lot of oversteer at the end of life!
Would not buy them again

A quiet tire, very predictable/forgiving at the limit, especially in the rain, with a soft sidewall.These miles were covered with spirited driving on winding roads.

I changed these tires before the next winter season. In summer conditions, the wet grip is limited, in winter all the possible weather conditions (cold, wet, slush, snow, ice) makes the tire unsafe to use.

I suffered through 2 winters with this set, I dont want to risk another one.

Great tire. Like a glue in dry, decent to good in the rain. Definetely buy it again.

Comparing to the Goodyear 4Seasons Gen3 the Nokian are awful in wet or dry conditions because o the subjective feeling that they have no grip, mainly on bends.
Noise levels are good.

Higher fuel consumption and more road noise than my previous Michelin Primacy. The road noise was supposed to be lower according to the specifications than the Michelin tires, but that's not the case. I won't be buying these tires again.

About a month ago, I fitted a set of Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tires after the tire shop manager strongly recommended this specific model.
My previous tires were Apollo Alnac 4G in a different size, 195/55 R15, which is a much more budget-oriented tire. My rims officially support both sizes.
The Goodyears definitely feel better in terms of road noise and comfort over bumps compared with the Apollos.
However, I lost a huge amount of steering feel. The steering became vague, and the car no longer inspired any confidence if you wanted to drive in a more spirited way.
What surprised me even more was the grip. In the dry, I honestly cannot say they offer any noticeable improvement over my four-year-old Apollo tires with around 20,000 miles on them. In the wet they initially feel a little more stable, but they provide almost no feedback, so you never really know how much grip you have available.

Unfortunately, this became very clear while I was driving home on a wet downhill road before a dry turn. I entered the corner that would never have caused any concern with my previous tires and I have gone through many times, but I ended up having the first crash of my life. Thankfully, the damage was relatively minor and mostly cosmetic.

Initially, the car felt unable to hold the turn and started to slide. While keeping a steady steering input, the front suddenly regained grip, while the rear lost grip completely. The car then snapped into a much more violent oversteer instead of progressively recovering the grip, which is what I expected from the previous tires I had.
I somehow managed to somewhat straighten the car, but it was still sliding with very little grip until I eventually scraped a wall.
I am not claiming to be the best driver in the world, but I have experienced much worse situations in the past without such sudden and violent reactions from the car, regardless of the tires I was using.

As other reviewers have mentioned, these tires have a very soft sidewall which I found out after fitting them. In my experience, this takes away a lot of steering feedback and makes it difficult to understand what the tires are actually doing or how close you are to the limit.

Once I repair the car, these tires are coming off.

I xannot recommend these vrederstein tires higly enough. On safety ,fuel economy and dry and wet weather handling and safety . If they have any weakness it would be on tred wear. But at 90 pounds a tire i wil never drive on anything else.
