Fiat Tipo Tires

The Maxxis WP6 is good enough for normal Dutch winter driving. Straight-line aquaplaning resistance is good and overall grip levels are acceptable.

However, on dry and wet roads the tires lack feedback when cornering. Steering feel is vague and the car feels slightly floaty, especially in faster bends and motorway exits.

Snow traction is good and steering on snow is acceptable. On icy roads the rear of the car felt unstable, with a subtle side-to-side movement.

Previously driven on Firestone Winterhawk 2, Michelin Alpin A4 and Dunlop Winter Sport 5. Of those, the Dunlop offered the best overall balance and driver confidence.

Overall I’m satisfied, but I would not buy them again. Next time I would try the Kumho WP52 or return to a premium brand.

Factory fitted by the manufacturer. The most disappointing aspect is certainly the road holding on wet asphalt: the car tends to understeer heavily even at low speed, for example when traveling around a roundabout. Consumption is average as is noise. I've never had emergency situations in the dry, so I can't evaluate the performance in these situations: the sensation is of just enough precision when cornering.

I am reading comments badmouthing these tires and I find it disrespectful to a nokian brand, one of the best that works for bridgestone creating some tires for them even if this is not known and that has been the first brand in history to create the first winter tire. This tire has a road grip far superior to the rest, it can be said that its grip is similar to competition tires and the reason why it grips more than the rest is because they are soft compounds that unlike Michelin, which are usually harder compounds, they sacrifice wear vs. adherence on the asphalt. So it is normal that they last less km than other brands because of the type of compound but they grip much better. The size of the tire also has an influence, as a 205/55 R16 V tire is not the same as a 225/45 R17 Y tire, and driving style also has an influence on wear (if you drive more aggressively and brake more, the tire wears out first). But wear is also influenced by the type of road you drive on. A road made of concrete or a mountain road, wears the tires much more than another type of road, also a bad and cracked road is normal to destroy and crack the tires because it would be the same thing that happens when you hit a broken pavement and the asymmetrical pieces jagged on the pavement in a soft compound tire can literally tear off pieces of rubber. This same thing on asphalt will cause pieces of rubber to break off the tire and crack. As you can see there are a lot of influences. This tire for the price/performance is the best.

Fiat Tipo 2018. Mileage 25,000 km/year. I use it 80% on the highway. On dry roads, I did not notice any difference compared to other branded manufacturers. Excellent on water. Excellent value for money. Noise level is pleasant. I cannot evaluate rubber wear in a negative direction, because I change it sooner than wear.

This is my first all seasons tires set so I can't compare with any previously all seasons. I am definitely satisfied with the choice made with Quadraxer2. I chose all seasons tires mainly for the low annual mileage which does not justify 2 sets of tires. I find the behavior of the tires very honest and safe on all terrains and weather conditions but never driven on ice. I find that they have a good quality / price ratio

Good grip on dry, but on the wet i had an overall bad experience. Due to an episode where while soft braking on a paved road on a rainy day these tires decided not to participate in braking and ended up going on a wall, i decided to change them, despite having almost all of thread left. Wear is not an issue, in 7000km i had them, they only lost way less than 1mm. Very comfortable on city roads and on highway. Definitely not buying again this model, i've used other toyo tires that are waaay better than these.

Had 4 of these fitted and they were great when new. Confort was goos and the wet handling was just great with a fabulous aquaplaning resistance. The dry performance is not that impressive unfortunately. Not that it is a bad tire in the dry-it's a good one. But not as impressive as in the wet.
They tend to wear fast, at least with my driving style and do loose the confort and grip as the time passes by. But it's a predisctable honest tire. After buying other set's of tires i just come to the conclusion that iwas a good tire for the money but as been surpassed by evolution and now a days are more efficient tires out there.

past 15 days had extreme weather, snow, rain, ice everything you imagine. perfect tire.

One of the best tires ever created. Production ceased a few years ago but I still have these on my 2.0 16v Tipo. 5 years old at the time of writing and no cracking. Feedback through the tire is amazing, and you can take them right up to the edge of grip with confidence. Even with spirited driving these have not worn much. Comfort could be a little better due to the Bridgestone's stiff sidewalls but it's a sacrifice I'll gladly take for their sometimes unbelievable grip.
