195/45 R16 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Three A Farroad FRD 26
rated 46%
Ok in dry conditions. Absolutely horrible cornering on wet surfaces. Nice for drifting: predictive, the grip is ok, good wear (in drift). Comfort is ok, wears out quite quick.

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate 2
rated 80%
I've done 40k kms in my daily car with the crossclimate2 in the last 3 and half years. At this point there is some tread left but almost at the legal limit, so I need to change them soon. I live in northern italy near Milan, i got a lot of heat during summer in recent years and mildly cold winters with close to zero snow. Tires for a daily use on a little fiat panda have been really good in wet and dry, i always felt them solid when new and even now. With wear i think they lose a bit of Rolling resistance but nothing too concerning. I've tried them a couple times in the snow (when they were at mid life tread) and i found them a bit poor.. didn't get stuck but had a lot of wheel spinning and not much confidence in general. At the end of life the tread is a bit damaged on the sides.
Overall i've been satisfied!

Writing about the Accelera PHI
rated 48%
cheap; XL with alloy wheel protection but lasted only 9,000 miles on light use on a small Mazda 2 car. Previous tires lasted 22,000 miles. Makes them uneconomic.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus S1 evo
rated 79%
Very good small car tires allowing for spirited driving with a wide safety margin. I got them with the car and didn’t give them a deeper thought throughout the 40.000 km they lasted, being convinced all decent brand low profile tires should perform like that nowadays. So I thought… until I replaced them with a set of newly introduced Continental EcoContact 6. I never thought the gap in the level of grip through the bends and general feel of the car would be so huge. Knowing that I would surely buy them again, unfortunately they don’t make them anymore. In general, getting UHP 16" tires is getting more and more difficult these days, it’s aging SportContact 3, equally dated Pilot Sport 3 and that’s about it.

Writing about the Kleber Quadraxer 3
rated 88%
After about 25,000 km on the Kleber Quadraxer 2, I decided to switch to the Quadraxer 3. In the photo, the QD2 are shown at the top, while the QD3 are at the bottom. Wear on the QD2 was extremely minimal (as shown), thanks to extensive extra-urban use, keeping the car in a garage, and meticulous pressure checks.
Compared to the previous model, under the same conditions and pressures, the improvement is clear—especially in dry road performance. Steering feels much more direct and enjoyable, while the tires remain quiet and safe. I will update the review as mileage increases.
They are extremely sensitive to pressure changes, so check it often. The price is higher than the QD2, but justified by the improvement.

Writing about the Nexen N Blue HD Plus

For a factory-mounted (kia picanto 1.0 tgdi) it has really good grip and and response, they are lasting almost 50k km and still going, 1.5mm of rubber left.

Writing about the Nankang Noble Sport NS20
rated 49%
Initial impressions were very good, except for the noise. However the tire wear wear was very pronounced, after 20k km (of to be fair quite aggresive driving) the tread depth was at the minimum markers. Performance, especially in the wet is very negatively affected as the tire wears. All in all for the price (around 100€ a pair) no major complaints. However I have recently switched to second hand PS3s and there is no comparison, in my opinion it is worth getting used premium instead.

rated 76%
I have these tires on my 2005 Citroen c2 vts. I wear these tires Only on summer because i have another set of wheels with winter tires. I am very happy with their performance on dry and wet! I don't have a lot of options on my dimension 195/45/16 i highly recommend that tire. If the new falken ziex ze320 launch in my dimension i Will put a set of the new ones. otherwise i am looking for kumho hs52 and the same falken ziex ze 310 again

These tires have some of the worst wet grip I've ever seen in my life. Very dangerous. Apparently longevity is more important than safety with these tires.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3
rated 57%
I drive a citroen C2 VTS and the only size available is 195/45/16. I decided to test the PS3, coming from 3 sets of Yokohama Advan Fleva v701, and i'm quite disappointed. I use the car only for fun (mainly "touge driving") so my review is only for the sportiness of the tire. The grip is ok at slow speed , but the sidewall are very soft and the car moves a lot. In the wet they are pretty good. After 4k kms my fronts are already at the legal limit... for the (high) cost of the tire in relation to the grip they offer, i'll consider something else for sure.
