225/45 20 Tire Review Highlights

Accelera Iota ST68 rated 84% while driving a Ford Edge Sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 20 spirited miles
We bought a Ford Edge in 2020 and it had a brand new pair of these fitted on the front. I’d never heard of the brand and I was a bit sceptical.
But 3 1/2 years later we have covered 21,000 miles and the edges are just going off, I think they have worn very well on the front of a 2.2 ton car and a good 8k of the miles had been towing a large caravan.
They have performed well in all weathers and the car has been driven quite ‘spiritedly’ at times.
I have just ordered a new set of 4, so if I can get another 3/4 years and 20+ thousand miles out of them I will be very happy.

Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
I've had reasonable experiences with budget brands in the past, so I'm not a tire snob by any means. I also bought the car with these tires fitted, so have no confirmation bias after paying my own money for them.

These Triangles were fitted as new on the car when I picked it up. Initial impressions of dry grip were actually quite positive. I didn't push the car to its limits and so I didn't experience any issues. Likewise I found them a bit quieter than some premium brands I'd experienced when test driving other cayennes prior to buying mine.

In the wet however, it's a different story. The first hint that they might not be much good was when I had to drive up a damp and greasy driveway. The 4WD system shuffled the power around trying to find some grip, but this became an almost laughable process the car really struggled to haul itself up the incline over the course of about 20 seconds of wheel-spinning chaos.

Since then, each time I've driven the car in the wet, I've done so on tip toes. The wet grip on these things is non-existent. Even navigating roundabouts, medium sized bends at normal road speeds results in the car understeering. Faster, less curved bends can result in a disconcerting 'float' as the car loses grip on all corners.

Having owned 70+ cars, I can only think of a couple of times I've bought one and thought 'these tires are dangerous' and I think these Triangles are the most extreme example of this. Avoid at all costs.

Michelin Latitude Sport 3 rated 69% while driving a Volvo XC60
Driving on a combination of roads for 800 average miles
An amazing long lasting tire that performs well but is too noisy on coarse chip seal

Falken Ziex ZE001 AS rated 64% while driving a Subaru Ascent
Driving on mostly town for 0 average miles
Didn’t even last 35k! Awful. Really sad because the tires performed until they were bald at 35k.

Continental Sport Contact 6 rated 63% while driving a Audi Q5
Driving on mostly town for 6000 average miles
Dry grip is great, comparable with Michelin LS3 SUV. Wet is so so tho, had ABS on and aquaplane at 60km turning right when it was a month old , never happened on F1A3 SUV doing the same turn, nor LS3. Wear on this is horrendous , much worse than the above 2 sets I had. Its quieter than the other 2, which was the initial reason of purchase, but the wear is so bad its just not worth it.

Landsail LS588 UHP rated NAN% while driving a Audi
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 spirited miles
I am a tire snob and have always kept to the brand of tire that were on the car eg Pirelli/Michelin etc. I bought a two year old Audi Q5 from an Audi dealership and didn't pay much attention to the tires, assuming they were high end.

When it come to replacing them I found they were Landsail LS588, something I wouldn't have bought by choice. The truth is though that they have been absolutely fine and considering they are 50% the cost of an alternative I've stuck with them.

Two years on I have no regrets and will buy them again. The fronts have lasted 1 year and 35,000 miles so can't complain

I would happily recommend

Gripmax Status Pro Winter rated 91% while driving a Chrysler 300C
Driving on mostly town for 0 easy going miles
I am from LV used these tires one winter season - very nice and quite tires for this low price. Our winter is -15c till +5c, wet snow, snow+mud or dry cold road. Can't provide any bad feedback. Before these used Continental, Dunlop, Pirelli. My millage not so high some 5k-10k per winter.

Yokohama Advan Sport V105 rated 92% while driving a Dodge Charger SE 300hp.
Driving on mostly town for 2500 spirited miles
I have drove on this tire for 2500 miles now
Mostly inside town and also on some bumpy roads around
The main positive thing is the dry traction + noise is better than most the other tires and both mentioned points giving this tire edge over otjer brands

Triangle TR968 rated 37% while driving a Mercedes Benz C 250Sport
Driving on mostly motorways for 25000 spirited miles
My ex wife had 4 of these these fitted to my car and increased my life insurance, needless to say when it rains these tires are deadly. If you value life pay another £40 per tire

Driving on mostly country roads for 40000 average miles
I have had TEN punctures with these tires in 6 years. The garage tells me the low profile needed for my 20 inch rims along with the design of the AT means the side wall is weak, so everytime I hit a kerb or deep pothole they burst. Disaster
