What drivers say about their 225/65 R15 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I drove these tires more than 7000 km , on dry, wet and even snowy roads ! Guess what I am surprised by its performance and comfort.
Excellent tires. Nothing to complain for. Grip very well in snow. Very good.
Have bought these tires for the winter, had the chance to test them in the snow last week. While some other vehicles ahead of me were sliding round a corner, I had no problem and drove round as per normal. The only slight problem I found was pulling away, they did slip a little, but If I eased off the accelerator then this was no problem.
have a front set on a 1989 benz 500 sel.excellent all-round tire.new ones $99.00 at local gore garage.great value.
I've got 45K for front set and 25K for the rear set on my BMW 523i SE Auto, Very hapy with these results. These are mostly motorway miles and I do not drive hard at all. My wife's car (2.8 liter car) also have Conti Prem 2 tires fitted, with bigger rim size and lower profile, they also last over 25K. I would recommended this make to anybody.
