Opel Astra J 1.4 turbo Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Kumho Solus 4S HA32 given 53% (215-50-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 spirited miles
This is an update of an older review of mine.
I have had these tires fitted on my Opel Astra J for 3 years and used them for almost 50.000 km.
The tires are almost worn out and are to be replaced soon.
Overall, they are acceptable, but they do not impress in any particular area. Of course, I did not expect them to perform like a summer tire in hot weather or like a winter tire on snow. It was a compomise I accepted from the get-go.
Positive aspects: HA32 is quite good on wet in terms of grip, stability, handling and braking. They are quiet and comfortable on most types of roads. The wear is decent and the price is acceptable.
Negative aspects: dry braking is not so good, snow performance is mediocre, lateral grip on wet is tricky, the rubber starts to crack badly on the treadwear and smaller or bigger chunks are missing.
All in all, not a bad tire considering that it is not very expensive. If your driving style is relaxed and you do not push the car to the limit, Kumho Solus HA32 might safisfy your needs.
I will stick to all season tires to replace the Kumhos, but this time I will choose a premium brand as it offers better grip and performance.

Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
I have and Opel Astra J (1.4 Turbo 140hp). I put the tires in September 2019 with 130k km. Now (June 2022) with 170k km, they are just over half the thread depth (so I calculate about 20-25k km more). They have been very good so far. Pretty communicative at the limit, with progressive grip slip at the very edge. Equally good on dry and wet. The only obvious downside is relatively high rolling noise (conpared to my previous Continental EcoContact 3, which lasted half as long). Overall, pretty statisfied.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta PS71 given 82% (215-50-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 1500 average miles
I have driven around 2000 km of mixed conditions with these tires, mostly on motorways and a little bit of country roads and I can now rate them quite accurately. I mostly drive at speed limit, and sometimes spirited on empty roads. When I got them, I noticed they are made in Korea and the product quality is good regarding the reasonable price. Firstly I would like to mention the strengths of these tires. I would rate them as quite comfortable as they really smooth out sharper irregularities of the road. Noticeably better than my old Vredestein Sportrac 5 tires. Grip on dry is very good and excellent in wet, they always feel secure and predictable. Progressiveness is very good and even on Astra J, where the steering feel is numb, you get good road feedback. As with all tires there are some downsides. I was really expecting the tires to be sportier as they are in the UHP category and they do have a decent sidewall thickness, but when you start to push through the corners, they let you know they are more touring tires. At hard cornering they get loud and sidewalls give in a bit too much to be regarded a fun tire. Maybe they suit more sportier and lighter vehicles. On rough roads they can also be a little loud, but it is not an annoying sound. I have also noticed that in cold weather (around 0-5 Celsius), they get a bit egg shaped overnight and need a few kilometres for them to become round again. Never experienced that so far and it is somewhat annoying. To sum things up, if you can get them much cheaper than premium brands (like I did), I would recommend them. I think for mostly sporty driving there are better options, but they do a very good job for a daily driver.

Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
These tires are exactly what I expected. Dry braking and grip are better than I anticipated for all-season tires. The road noise is much lower compared to my former summer tires (Michelin Primacy) or to my winter tires (Hankook Winter I-cept RS2). Wet grip and braking are really good too. I am waiting to test Kumho on snow and slush, but I am positive they won't disappoint me. So far, so good. I will be coming back for an updated once I put in more miles.

Writing about the Uniroyal RainSport 5 given 90% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
The best tires I have ever used. Absolutely excellent wet grip control, day grip is very good as well. Rain Sport 5 is not very noisy, for the price is very comfort and have extra handling skills especially in rainy weather. With these tires you feel comfortable and safe at the same time. Generally, this is one of the best mid-range tire and definitely I recommended to everyone. If you buy it you won't regret it.

Writing about the Debica Presto UHP2 given 69% (215-50-17-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 11000 spirited miles
I bought this tires after initially installed on
my new car Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance. You can see my earlier review from this spring, when installed the tires. I was amazed by their comfort and excellent grip. But this was valid for new tires. After 5000 km, I started to feel the lost of grip on wet roads and "polished" city roads. After 10000 km, the tires lost their quietness and comfort, extended braking distance. Now 2 - 3 weeks before switching to winter tires and after 18000 km, the tires lost grip on roads colder than 15 degree C. Breaking distance increase dramatically, ABS working like on snow for each more intensive breaking. The tires performance is like 2,5 years old premium tires even older for wet and cold conditions. I'm driving intensively 160 km each day to my work and back. For this tires set I bet on low cost and good results in the reviews. So, I'm glad when add the price, less than half of the price of premium tires. For the next summer have to drive with limitations and more careful, but it was the same in 4-th summer of Goodyear's. I hope the tires will not lose their current performance after a winter in my garage. Because on temperatures above 15 degree C this Debica tires are still better than Goodyears in their 4-th summer! Will I buy it again?! Mmm, not! Will look for midprice class.

Writing about the Debica Presto UHP2 given 85% (215-50-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
Just today switched to summer tires and installed on my Astra brand new Debica Presto UHP2 set. I had about 100 km on country roads, mostly on dry. The tires are extremely quiet. Compared with all other premium brands on all my cars, excluding Michelin I've driven any of premium European brands. The filling is like I've cĥanged the whole suspension of the car. I switched from Continental TS 850 P, which is winter tire with very soft rubber and it is like just changed the car! Astra J as many of mass cars of C segment is not famous with its comfort and sound insulation. Despite that I invested more than 3000 Euro in sound system, including above 50 kg of vibro and noise suppression, the car became absolutely quiet. I cannot hear any noise from the tires up to 80km/h.
The car is taking all the road small bumps and cracks (which we have a lot of on BG country roads) in totally new comfortable way. I use to reduced tire pressure below 2.3 bars, because the suspension became quite annoying. And today asked in tire service where they changed the tires - what pressure they established? They told me 2.5 bar, whic I intended to reduce as usually to 2.3. Then after road test I realised that pressure reduction was not needed.
For the price of 290Euro including installation, this tires outperforms much expensive premium brands in quietness and comfort!
Later after I collect some experience in different road conditions I will submit more detailed review about the tire performance.
For now I'm amazed by their comfort and quietness.
