Had better wet grip on bald summer tires. My fwd car will occasionally understeer in roundabouts when wet, even at slower speeds.

Triangle EU label data
9 of the 31 tires on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tire's best available size figures.
B Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 2 tires reach rolling resistance class B. The highest scoring:
70dB Quietest tires
The quietest tires in the range are labelled from 70 dB external noise:
- Triangle Effexwinter 7.2
- Triangle EffeXSport 6.6
- Triangle TR918 6.1
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
Not the quietest ever, but quite comfortable to ride in, excellent grip and braking in wet and dry conditions.
Initially had a good impression, with good grip allround, including snow, but the tread started getting damaged with vertical cracks. With my first set I wasn't being careful with it, going offroad on rocky terrain and some spirited driving. So I bought a second set thinking I'll just be more careful. Same cracking appeared on the tread, chunks are even falling off. Good longevity though, at 25000 miles they have at least two thirds tread left.
Had them for a long, but the front tires needed to replaced after 80000km’s.
The rear tires felt also not zo round anymore. And made a bit more noise compared when they were new.
But the tires were really good. Also in snow last year. Also have been to Switzerland with them on snowy highways. Good performance overall. Never felt unsave.
Mercedes C W205 C220 - Fast and accurate—they deserve a high rating.
Wasn't sure what to expect when I brought an X5 with the SporteX th201 255/50r19 & 285/45r19 tires, ,my initial thoughts were ill buy something better next time. I enjoy quite spirited driving but these tires are miles better than any other budget tire I've used before. Normally they don't perform well & are noisy. These do it all well, very little road noise despite being wide tires, comfort, turn in, grip through the corner is all good & predictable at the limit. Wet grip was better than average but now under 3mm that has tailed off a bit & now feel it try to aquaplane a bit in the wet at higher speeds. Being a budget tire that seemed to perform well, I obviously didn't expect them to last very long as is normally the case but these are on 29000, 2.6-8mm remaining on a big heavy 4x4, I think is very good. This is the first budget tire I would actually happily buy again.
