Alfa Romeo 156 SW 1.9 JTD Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 given 73% (215-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
The only real downside to these tires is they wear very quickly, although that isn't surprising considering they are a soft compound. For this reason they probably wouldn't be suited to a round-town all the time car purely based on cost, but for anything that involves slightly spirited driving or good cornering, these are definitely a safe bet. I would have another set of these, although there are equally good tires out there for less.

Writing about the Fulda Kristall Montero 3 given 71% (185-65-15-T)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 average miles
TL;DR Fulda Kristall Montero 3 is better than Sava Eskimo S3+ and Tigar/Taurus/Kormoran winter tires. It is solid tire in every aspekt. It's good in dry braking and cornering. It's good in wet braking. Fulda had never let me down nor put me in risky situation. During the rain, at 80-90 km/h, I had never experienced aquaplaning. It's very good in snow, but Sava is better in this aspekt. In cold weather it's good tire, above 10°C is mediocre, but drivable. Above 15°C you should switch back to summer tires (because of COVID-19, I did change it in late March). I would rather drive summer tires (e.g. my Nexen N'blue HD plus @ 205/55/16) in the range of temperatures 5-7°C at dry road, and above 7°C in wet, than this winter tire. Tire started around 9-8 mm, and after 5 months of drive finished around 7-8 mm. To conclude, I would recommend Fulda tire if you live in some mitteleuropean city with lots of rain and dry periods, and of course snowy days. If you experience more snow, I would go for Sava Eskimo S3+. Fulda Kristall Montero 3 is better than Sava tire in the wet, dry, but just less good in snow. Additional information: 185/65/15 Fulda Kristall Montero is "Made in France", Sava Kristall Montero 3 is "Made in Poland", and Tigar/Taurus/Kormoran is "Made in Serbia".

Writing about the Nexen N Blue HD Plus given 87% (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
Location of use: Croatia / Climate: warm summers with shower rains, rainy autumns with cold mornings and nights, warm springs with shower rains, rainy and snowy winters
After more than six months with this tires, all I can say about them are good words. Dry grip is just perfect, I had some really close breaking and Nexen hadn't let me down. Wet grip is also very good, I didn't experienced any aquaplaning at all. It endure even heavy rains very good. You can enter fast in turns on the road and handling is very reliable. The tires are soft with soft sides, so you can feel some squirm in fast and strong turns. If you don't like that feeling, I suggest XL version of this tire with stronger sides. But, at the end, they manage to control it easy. Because of its softness, I presume that they wear in some higher rate. So far, so good. They are very quiet.
All in all, definitely I would buy again this tire or some other from Nexen. Also I recommend this tires to everyone because they are excellent budget tires with some high performance premium characteristics.
Compare: better than Sava tires (Goodyear, Slovenia/Poland) in same price range, better than Tigar and Taurus (Michellin, Serbia/Hungary).
