185/65 15 Tire Review Highlights

Falken Sincera SN110 Ecorun rated 79% while driving a Hyundai i20
Driving on mostly country roads for 16000 average miles
These were fitted all round on our Hyundai i20. Not a ball of fire by any means. Completed around 16k miles, fronts are down to min wear now, still give good grip and minimal noise. Rears are on around 4.5mm. driven on rough roads in the Welsh valleys with narrow streets requiring you to drive in gullys and close to the kerb. Motorway miles are quiet, a good tire which inspired confidence in a small car. Being replaced by an all season soon to suit our weather better.

Kumho Solus 4S HA32 Plus rated 71% while driving a Citroën xsara picasso
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 miles
On a Xsara Picasso, they provide safety in the wet, are comfortable on uneven surfaces, but are somewhat noisy. Greater rolling resistance increases fuel consumption somewhat. The softer casing provides more noticeable drift, and the reactions are predictable. A good tire for relaxed drivers looking for safety in wet and snow conditions.

Continental EcoContact 6 rated 57% while driving a Toyota Yaris Mk4 Hybrid 1.5 (XP210, M15A FXE)

Not good at wet surfaces. Cold, curves, wet and high torque is enemy of this tire.

Kleber Dynaxer HP 3 rated 79% while driving a Nissan Primera
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 easy going miles
I’ve been using the Kleber Dynaxer HP3 (185/65 R15) on my 1997 Nissan Primera P11 for the past 10 years, covering around 40,000 kilometres, mostly in city traffic and on the Autobahn. Throughout the entire period, the tires have been very reliable and consistent. They also had remarkably low wear in my use case. The tread depth is still good, and I’m only replacing them now due to their age. In terms of tread I could easily drive them for several more years. I drive in a fairly relaxed manner (mostly 100-120 km/h on the Autobahn, and rarely exceeding 140 km/h) and I’ve never encountered a situation (wet or dry) where the tires felt unstable or unsafe. They also did well during a few emergency stops. They were reasonably priced in my tire size and I'd buy them (or the successors) again without any hesitation.

Michelin Alpin 7 rated 92% while driving a Mazda Mazda 2 Skyactiv G 1.5 (114hp)
Driving on a combination of roads for 7500 spirited miles
Excellent on both dry and wet surfaces. Excellent on fresh and packed snow, even in challenging conditions. Comfortable and quiet. Wear after 12,000 km: Approximately 1.5 mm on the front, approximately 0.7 mm on the rear. Would definitely buy again.

Michelin Latitude Alpin 2 rated 88% while driving a Nissan Primera
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 easy going miles
I've been using the Michelin Latitude Alpin 2 on my 1997 Nissan Primera P11 for about 12 years and roughly 50,000 km. I drive with a light foot, mostly in everyday situations and the Autobahn, and live in Germany where winters can range from dry and wet to snowy and icy. Throughout all that, the tires have always felt safe and reliable. They handled well in snow and slush, never slipped unexpectedly in the wet, and stayed comfortable and quiet on dry roads. Even now, they still have enough tread for another two or three winters, but I'm replacing them purely due to age. Overall, they've been incredibly dependable, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Lassa Snoways 4 rated 87% while driving a Hyundai i30
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
I purchased these tires this winter and have been very impressed with their performance. They provide excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces, as well as on the light snow we experienced this season. I tested their limits and found that they only begin to exhibit slight understeer when exceeding the speed limit by 50% in corners. These tires are ideal for drivers who prioritize a defensive driving style.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 rated 96% while driving a Peugeot 208 1.2VTi
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 spirited miles
Put these on an automatic 120bhp Peugeot 208, and they have been a significant upgrade in handling, acceleration, and braking in all conditions here in Ireland.
Went all season as there are only about 2 weeks a year where it’s warm enough for summer tires IMO.

After 15k over a year, tread has lost less than 1mm.

Zero complaints. Amazing performance.

Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2 rated 63% while driving a Toyota IST
Driving on a combination of roads for 17606 easy going miles
Overall... an average result... they replaced some truly awful dried out old low-grip tires that wouldn't wear out, that were on the car when I bought it. I would buy these Chinese-manufactured Goodyears again if I could get them for the $179 each I paid in Oct 2020... got 28,335kms out of them, the other two are still on there, my mum's little Toyota Ist hatchback, (JDM, but like an Echo, Yaris, Scion XA ... ) one tire got a screw in it and mum drove on the sidewall a tiny bit in a carpark and that was it. So I replaced the axle pair with some even cheaper Chinese tires "HiFly HF201" we'll see how that goes in a few years when they pop...

Kumho Solus 4S HA32 Plus rated 83% while driving a Citroën xsara picasso
Driving on a combination of roads for 2500 average miles
I took a chance on some Kumho Solas 4S HA32 Plus tires for here in England this year, as a mid-budget all season tire with the 3 peaks symbol.

Don't confuse the Plus model with the previous HA32 model, these are a much improved design.

With all the snow, frost, and sub 5°c weather in England this 2024 to 2025 winter, my Kumhos been fantastic so far, irrespective of price.

As I don't have £600 to drop on tires at a moments notice, I chose the Kumhos 4S HA32 Plus.

I had to get rubber fitted quickly, as I bought a car with four mismatched makes. I think there were two Runway branded on opposite corners of different types. Not ideal.

Road noise is acceptable, and a much lower pitch than the mismatched set was, making them similarly loud but masses less intrusive.

Cold and wet grip has been the biggest improvement, with junction traction being faultless despite all the oil and diesel rainbow soaked tarmac.

Fuel economy has dropped by perhaps 5%, but the much more comfortable, quiet, assured, and smooth performance of the Kumhos more than making up for that.

Dry weather braking and steering is reasonable, but these aren't high performance summer tires, so feedback is muted but still present.

Mildly slippery mud and wet grass poses no issues for these tires, where before I would have to be very careful where to park.

Aquaplaning has been genuinely eradicated for me. The steering never goes light, nor does the back end twitch in a deluge.

I had tracking, balancing, alignment, and new valve stems done when I had the Kumhos rubber fitted, and wear has been equal and minimal over the last 2500 miles.

These aren't the perfect tires, but they offer everything a family car should need with good braking, acceleration, cornering, and performance in bad conditions.
