215/50 17 Tire Review Highlights

Minerva Radial F 205 rated 83% while driving a Honda Civic 1.5T
Driving on mostly town for 5000 spirited miles
Ignore my previous review which shows dissatisfaction, I switched to Yoko 553 and after driving immediately on them realised it was a mental barrier I was thinking these are not good tires. For past few weeks I had a placebo effect that I should switch to a better brand and felt my car was activating its ABS too soon on Minerva. Midway to home I realized these brand new Yokos have the exact same braking and drive response as those Minerva I took off. So I ended up going back to the tire shop and at some financial compensation loss to the shop got my Minerva back. Now I am more satisfied with them than even before. Go for them, saying this after back to back trying a tire more than twice as expensive but similar performance.

Minerva Radial F 205 rated 60% while driving a Honda Civic 1.5T
Driving on mostly town for 500 average miles
They were good for the first few thousand kilometres and felt like awesome tires for the price at par with higher tiers. Now after crossing 5,000 kilometres they seem to be a waste of money. The tires screech at even the slightest of hard brake and then ABS kicks in. There is great loss of traction at hard acceleration and the VSA kicks in ruining all the pleasure of a full throttle. It was a bad call and I am gonna switch back to any of the known brands

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance rated 76% while driving a Nissan LEAF Tekna
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 average miles
Good tires, wearing is quite acceptable. They lasted from 2020 on mountain roads and highways, city daily driving so around 45000 kilometers and still 5000 kms before being exhausted at the front.
I appreciated their comfort with the noise: good with my Nissan Leaf 2.
On dry surface, they miss a bit of traction to support the 350 NM from the electric motor.
On wet surface, they miss a LOT of traction, they rip very easily.
Appart from traction, they are ok, not a sport tire but pretty much enough to keep you secure.

Avon ZV7 rated 40% while driving a Nissan LEAF Tekna
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Replaced Dunlop BlueResponse with these, the sidewalls are way too soft. They grip well but you feel the car moving around on the tread. I can't wait until they are worn out so I can replace them.

Kleber Quadraxer 3 rated 53% while driving a Opel astra j 1.6 turbo
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I really don't understand why so many reviews say that the grip and handling on dry and wet is good with these tires. In the tire test there is only one that shows the reality (2023 Auto Zeitung All Season Tire Test).
I was the biggest fan of KLEBER Quadraxer 2. I had 4 sets. 2 on a corsa D and 2 on my astra j with life span of 45 - 55.000km for each set. You could screech those tires as much as you like, they wouldn't let go! Fabulous! Until I bought Quadraxer 3 :(. First twisted road I got the chance (10 degrees Celsius outside when Quadraxer 2 excelled) I felt like on winter tires on a summer day, it was absolutely scary! I understand that they probably wanted better handling in snow but I think they went overboard. Sorry but sadly I'm leaving the Quadraxer fan club. It was a really good run!

Debica Presto UHP2 rated 81% while driving a Honda Civic EX 1.6 VTEC
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 spirited miles
Great performance even while worn out, done over 50,000 tire is doing a very good job with aggressive driving and high speed >190 km/h, would definitely buy again.

Bridgestone Turanza 6 rated 92% while driving a MG ZS
Driving on mostly town for 0 average miles
I got these tires a year ago replacing a terrible Korean brand (can't remember the name) the car came with and it was a night and day difference. I took the car out for a spirited drive immediately after I left the tire shop and felt a sense of happiness I have never felt driving that car before. Wear seems good, I only do a little finger check every couple months and it doesn't seem to be too crazy like people mentioned. Noise is quiet and it's also pretty comfortable. But it should be mentioned again that I came from some pretty terrible tires so anything would be better.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 rated 86% while driving a Hyundai i40 sedan
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
I've previously used Michelin Cross Climate (in original, + and 2 variants). I've had these Contis for two months and I find them to be quieter and more "controllable" in dry and in wet / greasy conditions, than the Michelins.

The comfort of these Contis, for 215/50/17, is supreme - on par with my wife's Hankook Kinergy 4S; and those are deeper profile, on an AWD crossover.

I heartily recommend these Contis for UK's wet/greasy and dry conditions, all seasons.

Davanti DX640 rated 41% while driving a Ford Focus
Driving on for 0 miles
Tire needed replacing after a few thousand miles, never again. And they're no cheaper than much more trust worthy brands. Support useless if not rude

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE004 rated 84% while driving a Honda Civic 1.5T
Driving on mostly country roads for 34000 average miles
Original tire is conti MC5 which is very noisy. After replace with RE004, road noise below at speed 80km/h have greatly reduced and a lot more comfortable. Enjoy every corner with these tires . On the wet road , although it can handle the condition in a ok manner, but the feedback in wet is abit soft will feel like lack of confident. Overall is a very good tires for daily drive to minor spirit drive.

Dunlop SP Sport LM 705 rated 87% while driving a Ford Focus MK3
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 average miles
This is my second review
After a year summer/winter
These are pretty good tires good in all aspects
Very comfortable and robust for bad roads & potholes .
These are not performance tire but touring so do not expect UHP.
As miles pileup will show how will last and be.
Until now satisfied with them.
Made in Japan is one of strong points because in market most tires are outscored its common now.
