Best Tires for the Toyota CHR Hybrid

Very good grip across the various road conditions we get in UK recently. Not intrusive as very low noise levels in the cabin and a consistent ride comfort over the speed range. These provided me with a premium tire at great value and I’d definitely recommend and use them again.

Hello from Thailand, I mostly drive Continental UC6 on motorway with the surface quality as average or below. I am not an always sporty driver just when it is the time. I list from my most impressive:
Compared to the Previous tires as dunlop ec300+, yokohama E70, michelin primacy4
1. Wet grip : in heavy rain I push it faster than other traffic and confident in long puddles 70-80 km/hr
2. Value : my priority is wet road performance b/c it is the most uncontrollable factor when you are on puddles and heavy brake. With half budget from primacy4, it is very preferable other great spec below as compliments in my priority list.
3. Durability with consistent tire feature : I rate it 2nd as primacy4 the best by noise and wear.
4. Comfort : I would say it will be a smooth drive until it end of life at 31,000 miles(I will have reached the safety limit on 31,000 mi / 2 years almost the same time by Sep’25). Previously, I did expect this value on the Michelin only.
5. Handling : when heavily make a lane change(turn and straight again in 1 sec), it feedbacks unstable in tires. The reason I guess due to it soft sidewall which is softer than primacy4.

To summarize, It is acceptable for me with it handling compensating the comfort. With others spec maintained only more stiff in handling, I would accept it as good in all performance. Until now, I have still fine tuned for the tire. Next one I will try Giti Control P90.

PS. Few words for the other tires: Yokohama (decibel) E70 ‘bad wet grip’ ‘not quiet as expect’ , Dunlop Enasave EC300+ ‘all average with stiffer sidewall as I want for my Conti UC6’ , Michelin Primacy 4 ‘all good with less confident on wet than Conti UC6’ ‘pricy tire’

I have 20.000 miles and I m close to limit of red tread 1.6 mm with tire pressure above 33 PSI .

After my first winter of driving on them I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. It snowed quite a bit here compared to other years and despite the model not reviewing that well in snow conditions, it performed admirably, even in deeper snow. What really impressed me however was its dry and wet performance, it genuinely felt like a summer tire no matter how cold it got.

Had them fitted for the past 7 months and they're bloody amazing. Was kind of reluctant to put on a "performance" tire on a hybrid daily driver but I don't regret the decision at all. Traction control barely kicks in anymore, the braking and the grip while cornering is amazing and they don't seem to have worn at all almost.

First things first 6.3mm tread from new. They barely look much better than the ones i took off and before mounting them they looked/felt balloon like. No stiffness. They often stiffen after heat cycling but they still feel like marshmallow roger rabbit car tires that could rip open on a kerb or pothole. I keep looking at them and thinking they are low on pressure. The good news is they are ok on fuel and get me a few extra mpg on my chr hybrid but doubt you will notice on a normal ICE car. They are also comfy and smooth out rough roads. They have really sucked any fun from the corners as theres zero feedback and sometimes you turn and the car just wants to go straight. Any spirited driving and the abs has the odd buzz at you. Cant wait to put them on the back and get a stiffer full tread depth tire. I think they will do better on the back with less weight. Maybe the xl ones would have been better but i wanted the A grade fuel rating and didnt think it would change the dynamics this much. I want steering feedback and stability under harsh braking over that 3mpg. Personal preference i guess. Make youre choice.

Recently purchased for my Toyota CHR Hybrid and so far so good. Decent grip, feel,road noise. Done a bit on snow and seem good.
