225/50 R16 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE003
rated 44%
Put a sript on my vt commodore s pac. extermely hard ride even with the pressures dropped right down. Had them checked at Bridgestone for balance and out of roundness. All came back good.You feel every imperfection on the road and get a vibrating feeling through the car. Not a wheel wobble .Road noise isincredible. Have had the complete car checked from transmission to tail shafts to brakes replaced but the problem still persists. Changed wheels from my other vt and problem gone. I run Bridgestones on my other 4 vehicles and never had an issue. These tires just dont seem to marry with the car. Had the car since new and only has 13500klm on the speedo. I would never buy these again or recommend them.

All is well until it rains and then I loose the back end of my Honda S2000 on a roundabout at 25mph. I wasn't even pushing it and it sacred me to death. It then did it again in the same trip. Not heavy rain. I've immediately replaced them for a much better rated tire.

Writing about the Nankang Noble Sport NS20
rated 82%
My previous tires were Federal Evoluzion ST-1 which were excellent sporty tires at a discount price. Unfortunately, the same tires were not in stock and the only tires at the same price point (almost 50% lower than premium brands) were the Nankangs. From previous reviews, these tires seemed to have improve their overall performance in recent years, and thus, I decided to take the risk and try them. After 5K km, I realize that these tires are excellent everyday tires with good dry and wet breaking, above average wet performance and top comfort. But when it comes to sporty performance, these tires have not enough stiff sidewall (even the extra load XL version I have) for hard cornering. Especially in my civic's stock setup, oversteer happens easily when cornering at high speeds which requires above average experience in handling. After testing different tire pressures trying to fix this problem, I think that with 40 psi in front and 36 psi in back tires, handling is much better and oversteer seems to be more fun than problem. In general, these Nankangs are 80% everyday - 20% sporty tires, focusing more on everyday comfort and safety and less on sporty performance.

Writing about the Kormoran Road Performance
rated 100%
My used 2003 clk came with 17" wheels and 40 profile old tires. I put kormoran new tires on 16" assymetric mercedes wheels 205/55/16 and 225/50/16. For my relaxed driving style it's a 10 rating for me and combined with the good price it's a good deal all four 280 euro today 27/1/24. The comfort is night and day, very good, compared with the previous set up. I did national road and mountain road driving. On a dirt wash in a turn didn't slip. I drove 200km to the destination and gave the car to the co driver to return. Good in both hands. I put those just to see if a like the rims but it was a good surprise.

Writing about the Accelera PHI
rated 0%
I have now purchased and destroyed 12 of these tires in the same 16" size as I use them for rallycross in Texas. These tires normally last 18-20 laps and are great before they come apart. You pay a good price for a tire that lasts only as long as you want it to. Now, I also run the 651 Sport and those also wore down fast at the track a little too fast. I do run Toyo Prox R888R and those seem to last a little bit longer, but are 3x the price!
I have no idea how these tires work on public roads, but I have done drift and rally with them and will continue to....

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate
rated 84%
These came on the car when I bought it and I had no previous experience of cross climate tires. I have to say I'm really impressed. Very quiet, very comfortable and excellent levels of grip for everyday driving. The wear rate has also been surprising. I guess it's worth paying more for a premium tire.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta HS51
rated 43%
The worst tire I have ever bought.
Sidewalls are far too soft and dry grip is not what it should be.
The rear of the car actually sways when making a sharp turn as speed above 80km/h.
No, problem to get the traction control light on, never had this situation with the previous Bridgestone or Yokohama tires.
After only 600 kms I had to the Kumho's replaced by Yokohama 105V's.

Writing about the Federal Evoluzion ST 1
rated 87%
Following my initial 5K miles review, I have to say that these tires are an excellent choice at this price point, which is almost 50% lower than premium brands cost. After 30K miles, these tires perform still very well on dry with a notable drop in wet performance, but with easy-going driving, they can last for 5-10K miles more. The stiff sidewall (because of extra load) helps hard cornering without losing much comfort, the perfect balance between handling and comfort from my experience. In general, these tires have good breaking, comfort, and wear performance with focus on sporty driving at the expense of wet performance especially when they have not been warmed.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza s02
rated 93%
Well . I replaced my tires with these a month ago. Unused yet, held somewhere unsold but manufactured some time ago because they don't do these anymore. They are made in Japan. Rubber still soft without cracks.
The main reason I bought these tires is because my car came from the factory with these. Even if they are old I wanted to know the feeling of driving my car completely stock and feel it how it was made to be driven.
The results ? I shaved more than 1.5 sec off my best time I ever had on local track. I tried before different Potenza ,Yokohama , Firehawk and other street tires.
Definitely the best street tires I ever tried.
Most race prepared cars on slicks or semi can't beat my stock Ap1 on these. Short technical Supermoto track .
Even at the limit the car does what I expect .That snap oversteer, those uncontrollable slides they are all gone ! And I can take any corner faster and brake later than I can do with any other tires I had before.
No wonder these tires are on the cover of Gran Turismo original game.
The only regret I have is I have no other chances to buy these anymore. I would pay in gold for such street tires.
Brilliant tires for track or Touge !

Writing about the Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3
rated 83%
After 10 000km, about 1mm wear (20%) for 75% highway, 25% mountain roads dynamic driving.
With High temperatures (40degrees C) the tire feels composed. Only weaknesses are hard braking (ABS tends to engage sooner) and large turns at high speeds.
Otherwise all good!
No rubber delamination compared to a crossclimate I previously had (which needed a much more relaxed driving)
