Great snow and ice grip, much better than any winter tire i had before.
Good durability as well. Dry grip is fine, wet grip not as much and must be kept in mind. Not very noisy for a winter tire either. Would buy again if they are on discount.

205/55 R16 EU tire label data
EU label values are declared for each individual size, so the figures here are exact for 205/55 R16 rather than a range across a model. 781 tires carry label data in this size. The most common load index is 91 (up to 615 kg per tire). Speed ratings on offer: (Y) (301 km/h), Y (300 km/h), W (270 km/h), V (240 km/h), H (210 km/h), T (190 km/h), S (180 km/h), R (170 km/h), Q (160 km/h). 401 tires in this size carry the 3PMSF severe snow marking.
A Best wet grip
110 tires in this size hold the top EU wet grip rating, class A. The highest scoring on Tire Reviews:
- Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 All Season 9.6
- Continental PremiumContact 7 Summer 9.5
- Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo Summer 9.5
- Falken ZIEX ZE320 Summer 9.4
- Pirelli Cinturato C3 Summer 9.4
- Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Summer 9.3
A Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 28 tires in this size reach rolling resistance class A. The highest scoring on Tire Reviews:
- Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 All Season 9.4
- Continental UltraContact NXT Summer 9.1
- Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 Summer 9
- Kumho Ecsta HS52 Summer 9
- Hankook Ventus Prime 4 Summer 8.8
- Michelin Primacy 4 Summer 8.8
65dB Quietest tires
The quietest 205/55 R16 tires are labelled at 65 dB external noise:
- Landsail Qirin 990 Summer 7.9
- Michelin X Ice Xi3 Winter 5.6
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and apply to the EU market versions of each tire. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict - the tests and owner ratings above tell you far more.
How long do 205/55 R16 tires last?
Across 361 end of life reviews in this size, a typical set of tires was worn out after 22,700 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 12,500 miles and 35,000 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them. Driving style and the car matter more than the size itself.
What does 205/55 R16 mean?
A 205/55 R16 tire is 205 mm wide, its sidewall is 55% of that width (113 mm) tall, and it fits a 16 inch wheel. That gives an overall diameter of roughly 632 mm.
| Section width | 205 mm |
|---|---|
| Sidewall height | 113 mm |
| Rim diameter | 16" (406 mm) |
| Overall diameter | ≈ 632 mm |
| Circumference | ≈ 1,985 mm |
| Revolutions per km | ≈ 504 |
| Revolutions per mile | ≈ 811 |

Figures are calculated from the nominal size. A loaded, rolling tire runs a few percent smaller, and true widths vary slightly between makes.

What drivers say about their 205/55 R16 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
The tires are very silent and comfortable. Despite this they are very grippy in the dry and wet and give a good feedback. Driven in 40+ degrees in summer until now in rainy 5 degrees autumn and they make the drive 100% secure.
Absolutely no grip on wet roads.
Had to replaced them before the end of their life.
Had them for 3 winter seasons. Snow grip wasnt premium. They aged badly and now they are not soft at all making them skid during hard wet braking.
Very good in dry and wet. excellent in snow. good response and feedback, good braking response. I will probably buy this type of tire again. Better than former Viking.
After 2x sets of Michelin Cross Climate 2s, over 2 years, I changed to Goodyear. Ive put 38k km on them.
First impressions for first 10k km there was little to separate the Goodyear from the Michelin apart from the softer sidewall on the Goodyear, but road feel felt much the same. As miles went up i always felt the Michelin lost there sharpeness on very wet roads. The Goodyear did not have this issue. Grip in both dry and very wet felt consistent until the last month of use. Excellent tire in snow and Irelands very wet winter roads. Id reccomend over the Michelin.
I had Michelin primacy 4s before these Kumhos. The HS52 has very good dry grip. This is its strong point. The handling is good. But I would not call it comfortable. It feels hard when it hits a speed bumps or a pothole. It is noisy on the highway, of course it depends on how smooth the road is. But it is not quiet. It does feel stable on the highway though, feels quite planted and gives great confidence when driving.
I replaced these tires after just over 2 years and about 18,000 km. The rubber got hard. It loses grip easily on hard acceleration at low speeds. And the braking is greatly affected as well. Especially during sudden emergency braking. This is the main reason I replaced it even though it had plenty of tread. I live in a hot and dry climate, so may be this affects the longevity of the rubber. When I bought these tires they were not cheap at all, so I saved nothing going with Kumhos. I got them based on the great reviews I read. And the tires are good when new. But may be would age better in a different climate.
I replaced these Kumhos with continental untracontact tires. Which were on sale and were cheaper. The ultracontacts by comparison are quieter and much more comfortable. They absorbe the initial impact of hitting a speed bump and make it smoother. The grip is probably not as good as the Kumhos. I’m just sick of trying expensive tires that perform poorly in a couple of years. I choose the ultracontacts as they were on sale and continental is a reputable brand.
The Kumhos rubber compound getting hand after just 2 years is not great but I got similar things happening with Michelins as well. I would still buy them if they were cheap though. Knowing that I will need to replace them after 2 years.
The included photos show the tires after 2 years. The sidewalls look new but the tread does not look great even though it has plenty of depth.
Verry verry quite tire on this dimension.
Haven't tested to the limit, but on dry and wet, good grip.
Handling, hard to say, I switched from 225/45/17 summer to this, 205/55/16 and immediately notice the delay on rapid maneuvers. But it may be because of bigger sidewall.

Where this data comes from
Owner ratings are submitted through the review form on this site, naming the tire, the size and the distance covered, and are checked by hand before publication. Test results come from independent published tire tests indexed by size, and label values from the EU EPREL database.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
