Passenger Car Winter Premium Touring Tires Tire Review Highlights

Goodyear UltraGrip 9 Plus rated 96% while driving a Nissan Micra
Driving on mostly town for 2000 average miles
I have a Nissan Micra, so there's a relatively limited range of tires available for 175/60R15, most of which are older models. So a reasonably priced brand-new Goodyear was a pretty obvious choice when I needed new winter tires. And they haven't disappointed. The Micra feels like a whole new car, with far better traction and handling than the Semperit Master-Grip 2 that were fitted before, and braking distance and overall performance seems to have improved as well. I can't comment on severe ice and snow, as we didn't have too much of that this winter, but traction was very good on one icy day and it handled moderate snow cover with ease. I haven't driven too much on rural roads or motorways, but handling was fine and the tire seemed quieter at highway speeds.

Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
excellent tires for winter conditions. driving with no problem tempretures between -6c to +20c positive: excellent wet grip, very good on snowy roads, and safe dry grip negative: very high rolling resistance. overall: very good.

Continental WinterContact TS 860 rated 84% while driving a Mercedes Benz CLK 220 CDI Sport
Driving on mostly town for 7000 average miles
These were on my car when i bought it used, so the tires that i had experience with were about 30-40% worn. I mostly do city driving but here and there are some longer distances on the highway. They don't wear down quickly. Never had any grip problems during the winter. Even took the car to icetrack and these performed exceptionally well, i was impressed. When buying my next set of tires, they will be also not studded from continental. I have to point out that there were some places where the rear of the car's tires spinned a bit, but that's normal because of winter.

Kumho WinterCraft WP71 rated 59% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan Sport 2.0 TDI 140hp
Driving on mostly country roads for 15000 average miles
The price of the tire really was good and the snow reviews got me to get this tire due to living in the mountains. The snow traction actually turned out to be really good, including braking comparable to the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 for which I ultimately changed to. The tire really shocked me on how bad it was on the wet, the understeer was really bad and never felt comfortable / safe driving in the wet. Dry handling and feedback was nothing great, the grip did let go pretty quickly on fast short bends. Wear was a plus side, did around 20K Kilometers and the tread depth was still good. Noise levels are normall for a winter tire and the comfort levels also pretty normal for a 55 aspect ratio tire.

Michelin Alpin 6 rated 88% while driving a Opel Astra K 1.4T 150
Driving on mostly country roads for 15000 spirited miles
Had this for 3 years on a front wheel drive astra 1.4 150hp, live in the mountains and it was a fantastic winter tire. The grip driving uphill in snow was excellent, even when you got 5 - 8cm of snow on the road it would not let me down. Snow braking was good. Wet handling was also excellent, felt very safe and stable in the wet and aquaplaning was also good. Dry handling was the weaker side with slightly less grip on bends, but wouldn't let this be too much of an issue on a winter tire. This is the king of wear, after about 15K miles the tire barely dropped any depth in the groove, which is great because the performance also did not drop. Noise levels are higher as on most winter tires and the comfort level is ok.

Kumho Winter Craft WP52 rated 60% while driving a Hyundai elantra
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 average miles
Good dry handling and traction, average wet and below expectations on snow as for a winter tire. Noise depends a lot on tire pressure

Hankook Winter i cept RS2 rated 76% while driving a Volkswagen (B8) 1.4 TSI (150 Hp) DSG ACT
Driving on mostly town for 5000 spirited miles
Considering the price, but also in general: Super good wet grip. It shines better in wet conditions than dry. Winter, ice, snow? No problem. These tires drive in the cold like it's nothing. They are quite noisy though. But the grooves are many and they are deep, they look like off road tires. Superb resistance against aquaplaning. Kinda under steers in the dry though, but braking is still great. Highly recommend, great price. DON'T cheap out on tires. They are worth your life.

Hankook Winter I cept RS3 rated 88% while driving a Saab Automobile Saab 93ss Aero 250bhp
Driving on mostly motorways for 2000 average miles
Fitted these as it was getting too cold for my summer tires (Bridgestone Turanza T001), but haven't hit any snow with them. After fitting them, it completely transformed my car, in a very positive way. On my summer tires it was very easy to start spinning in second gear in the wet, when just mashing the throttle, but now it's an absolute acceleration monster. These tires proved to me, I really need to get rid of my summer tires, even tho they have enough thread left, they are just done age wise (about 10 years old). Fuel economy is pretty good, didn't notice any decrease from the summer tires, but those might have been bad aswell. Cornering in both dry and wet is really good. It gives plenty of confidence you're gonna make the corner, even at silly speeds for wet conditions. In all fairness, it almost feels like driving on dry roads, when it's wet out. Haven't noticed any form of aquaplaning, even in insane rain which made me float on summers. Even tho I do enjoy sporty driving from time to time, I have a hard time getting to the limit of the tires, it keeps impressing me by handling more then I would imagine it can do while staying very neutral. Braking is also very impressive on both wet and dry. The couple of times I had to do an emergency stop, the tires wouldn't stop gripping and just stopped the car, making me look backwards so to not outbreak the person behind me instead of being scared of hitting the person in front of me. All in all, very recommended tire. It might be priced a little below premium tires, but they perform just like (if not better) then premium tires.

Continental VikingContact 7 rated 63% while driving a Jaguar I Pace
Driving on mostly town for 14000 average miles
Tires have mostly worn out after only 20,000 km. Unacceptable! They’re great running tires but lifespan is too short to recomnend.
