215/45 17 Tire Review Highlights

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 rated 76% while driving a Toyota 2014
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 average miles
The F1A5 was fitted as the front tires in my second-hand car by the previous owner. I'm very pleased with the dry handling down to the wear indicator. It shouts when reaching its limit but never let go in the corner in dry condition. However, wet handling is not that great near the end of the tire's life. Be extra careful if you want to squeeze its life after 30000km of use in wet. The ESP saved me from crashing as I reached the wear indicator in a damped corner. In terms of treadwear, it reaches the treadwear indicator after around 35000km: Easy going for most mileage but hard use on the mountain. I enjoy my time in the mountain around 5 times a year only.

Overall, I'm pleased with the tires and reckon the previous owner made a great choice. I'm going to buy a set of F1A6 for my coming purchase!

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rated 60% while driving a Renault clio 197
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
Had them on a fully stock 3rd gen Clio RS with Cup package, used them 50/50 road/small racetrack. Definitely not the fastest semislick, but the most civilized ones - extremely predictable at the limit, surprisingly good in wet and low temps (do not aquaplain on highway at 140 kph at full wet conditions). NVH similar to Bridgestone Potenza Sport. Sadly the wear was horrible, although I assume it was mostly due to a combination of stock (ca. -0,5 deg) camber and track usage.

MRF ZTR rated 85% while driving a Renault Clio RS200
Driving on track for 1000 spirited miles
Bought two sets of these now to use on my Clio for trackdays, the grip and wear rate on these tires are amazing. I managed to get 7 Full trackdays out of the first set and was impressed enough to buy another set.

Laufenn S Fit AS rated 77% while driving a Volvo Proton Suprima S
Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
The Laufenn S Fit AS 215/45ZR17 has proven to be a solid tire choice for my Proton Suprima S. It have excellent value for money compared to cheap China tires (please consider this brand before getting china tire). With a price of RM200+ per tire, it handles Malaysian road conditions and weather well, providing decent performance in both dry and wet conditions, good grip, and comfort. The ride is quiet, and the durability has been impressive, even after regular use. It’s a better option for anyone looking for reliable tire without breaking the bank. For those considering cheap alternatives, I’d highly recommend the Laufenn S Fit AS, definitely better than LingLong etc

Dunlop SP Sport LM 705 rated 73% while driving a Toyota Camry
Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 spirited miles
Have the lm705s on a 2021 camry le 215 55 17 iirc. Compared to stock Bridgestone ecopia's very similar. The ecopias cost $180, The lm705s for $78. These were the only name brands in this price range other then sumitomos and that are made in japan. Dunlops are made by sumitomo tho so. The lm705s say sumitomo rubber ltd on them. The lettering on the dunlops lm704s are the same as the sumitomo tires which, imo look cheap. The stock bridgestones lettering looked nicer. Overall tires perform well with the camry in Dry and even wet. Read the reviews on wet being lack luster which was a concern in south florida but seemed to perform well. For the price, it's what you can expect for these sumitomos, I mean dunlops.

Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 rated 84% while driving a Toyota Prius
Driving on a combination of roads for 20 easy going miles
A fuel-economy tire with great comfort credits. This tire will never please the boy-racer brigade, but some of us regard that as a bonus. On to my second set of these Blue-Earth after over 160,000 km of daily commute and occasional holiday travel. Quiet, comfortable and reliable. Fuel economy is up there with the very best, with wet braking on par with tires twice the price. Unsure what "Orange Oil" is, it sounds like something I use to remove glue residue. I think these tires represent great value and I would very much like to recommend them.

Petlas SnowMaster 2 Sport rated 75% while driving a Skoda Fabia Mk4 1.5 TSI ACT
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
I've been using it for 4 months and have driven approximately 5000 km. The majority of this was in the city and on the unpaved road where my workplace is located. The tire performs very well on both dry and wet surfaces, with a good braking distance. I had no issues on snow either. In terms of noise, you can hear the tires at every speed. For me, it was a great price/performance tire, and I can say it has been successful in this regard. If it maintains the same softness next season, I believe it will continue to satisfy me greatly.

Riken Riken Snow rated 87% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa
Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 average miles
got these on a corsa van and they are great in the snow and not noisy on the road, good wear properties for the blocky tread pattern. Bought some more for the rears to replace the verdenstiens which are not as good in the snow.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus rated 80% while driving a Subaru BRZ
Driving on a combination of roads for 250 spirited miles
After 4 years and 33,000 km the excellent Quatrac Pro have hardened and are very close to the legal limit for an AS (4mm). Time and wear have made them wagging, still valid in the wet and very reactive in the dry, but on snow they would have been nothing short of a gamble.

And since I will be going to Germany again in January with the brz and the Quatrac Pro were not available, I recently mounted the Quatrac Pro+ (215/45/17 91Y XL B/C utqg400/A/A).

The Q.Pro+ have a softer carcass and sidewall, are less reactive, have a different compound more oriented to wet/snow and also require more running-in (at least 500 km).

The always very nice design remains unchanged with an appreciable footprint of the tread and the characteristic wide central rib.

At first I optimistically thought I could mount the Q.Pro+ only on the rear, leaving the old Q.Pro on the front which with a generous 5mm could have done another 10,000 km. But all the differences mentioned above are overall so important that, in the few days I rode with the new ones only on the rear, at every minimal change of direction I could perceive a clear oversteer combined with an appreciable lateral instability of the rear (cobblestone sensation, so to speak), practically disappeared, net of the remaining wax to dispose of, once the new ones were mounted on the front as well. I didn't think that the lack of homogeneity between the two axles could be so problematic. It was basically like having a summer tire on the front and a winter tire on the rear with the consequences of the case.

I will do a full review around 5000 km.

Toyo Proxes TR1 rated 54% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa D
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 spirited miles
I ran two of these on one end and michelin PS5s on the other end. Night and day difference. The toyos would fold quite easily under 30psi, i ran mine at around 33psi, they wouldnt grip the same as the PS5s. I experimented putting the toyos on the front and the car understeered. I put them on the back and the car oversteered. So i learnt my lesson not to cheap out on tires. In conclusion, these tires and okay but not for your spirited drivers. Hope this helps

Landsail LS588 UHP rated 83% while driving a Skoda Rapid TSI
Driving on a combination of roads for 21000 spirited miles
Purchased these mainly because of the price. I needed 2 new tires and these were priced well. I had used Landsail LS388 on a previous car and they were pretty good. The 588 however weren't as good for pulling away, they gave a fair amount of slip under acceleration. Having now driven 21000 miles on them and needing to replace. I won't be buying them again mainly because of that slippage as I didn't have confidence in pulling away and partly because I'm now is a position to afford Premium Tires and have opted for Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 2's. Other than that they handled everything I threw at them. Summer, winter, wet, dry, ice, snow with the appropriate driving they were fine. They have lasted 2 and a half years (21000 Miles) not a bad tire by any means and if budget is a concern then you can't really go wrong.
