Toyota Corolla Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 given 80% (205-55-16)

Driving on mostly motorways for 50 average miles
Average with aquaplaning, safe but I had better but also worse tires. Good but not very good braking on wet. Long lasting tire. Front one did 50k miles rear one 70k miles mostly motorway with max speed of 70-75 mph. Very good touring tires for fleet cars or taxi drivers. Extremely good value for money, expensive but last 2x longer then average tire.

I nearly died this is the 2nd set that have split in the same exact way. I gave the brand a second chance never again.

Bought 4 x Falken AS210 in September 2020. It's now April 2025, the tires have seen 50,000 miles of blacktop, been rotated twice per year and are now just under 3mm for all 4 tires.
These AS210s are a very decent tire for the type of car they would likely be fitted to, in this size at least. They cost me £61 each, which given their current mileage is really great value.
The sidewalls are quite high, so it's to be expected that they ride very comfortably. There's no tire roar from the aggressive tread pattern; quite the opposite - they're very quiet.
Grip in the wet and dry are equally confidence-inspiring. Despite pressing on in either of these weather conditions, I've not had any scary moments with loss of traction, understeer or oversteer. Just neutral handling whether driving on my own or with 5 people in the car.
These tires have seen plenty of snow. Never been in anything deeper than 6 inches. Never got stuck, either. Always a good amount of traction on offer in fresh snow whether starting or stopping.
Having said that, they do struggle to bite into polished/compacted snow. In these conditions it can make you yearn for a full winter tire.
So, the Falken AS210 is a tire I am way more impressed with than I expected to be. They've lasted a long time, been a fun tire to throw into corners on fast A&B roads or round roundabouts and have never failed to get me home in the hills of Lancashire when the roads have been covered in snow.
I thoroughly recommend them, especially if you need a tire to last a long time and be very good in all the weather conditions you'd see in the UK.

Ive used this tire for 32 miles / 65KM and it was very good overall compared to my aggressive driving style with sharp maneuvering and high speeds on highways reaching 180km/hr, it was very good in dry asphalt conditions, good in wet with easy comfort driving supposedly we should be careful in wet conditions, very good in handling as the wear is very good as it lasted till 32 miles without cracking or tearing apart. However there are better model options from Hankook ventuse prime 3 ive used for the same milage that I highly recommend.

Tire is very quiet and comfortable even on bumpy road. Dry and wet grip are both very good for a touring tires. Of course they are not UHP tires but even on a bit sportier ride tires feel safe. I don't know about wear yet, it's too early for that. I don't see any significant change in fuel consumption.

It’s definitely a comfort-biased tire, an OE set on a Toyota Corolla. The wet grip is nice and especially the rolling resistance is good, with very little feedback from the steering. The wear isn’t great but it probably had a very low starting tread depth anyway, so I won’t buy it again as I think there are more longer-lasting touring tires out there that’ll provide a more engaging driving experience.

Was skeptical about this unheard of tire brand but decided to try. Nothing to lose as its cheap to buy. Was prepared to change them out if they don't meet my expectations. Handled like a dream and no regrets with the purchase. Cuts through water like a blade with acceptable high speed road holding. Will buy again.

I had these tires fitted on a second-hand car I recently purchased, and I must say they are the worst-performing tires I’ve ever encountered. The overall feel is stiff and plastic-like. Given they’re budget eco tires, I didn’t try push them beyond their intended performance range. That said, in dry conditions, they provide an acceptable level of grip, but the real trouble begins when the roads are wet. Using these tires in wet & cold conditions is literally a safety risk.
In such conditions, even at low speeds, below the speed limit, it isn't hard to break the tires' adhesion level to make them skid & slide. From a standstill, accelerating without any front load will have you struggling to get any form of decent grip. Trying to navigate a roundabout at ~30-35 km/h, with some weight transfer to the front axle via trail braking, causes significant understeer.
While I understand that my previous experiences are with touring/UHP category tires like the Continental UC6, Michelin Primacy 3, PS3, & PS4, the performance gap with the Radial RP28 was shockingly huge. I don't expect them to perform anything even close to touring tires, but I at least expect them to be safe. I am genuinely surprised tires like these are still allowed on the market, considering their abysmal performance in the wet & complete lack of emergency handling capability.

I've tried several brand and model. UC6 is quite matched with my driving style the most. It incredibly gives the feeling of confident and comfort. The noise is unbelievable quiet compared with its handling. And when compare the noise with my new Toyo C2S, i feel UC6 gives lower noise. The only complaint is that it is not long lasting. I personally don't like tire rotation. So, it can be used only 55k Km with my car. Anyway, I'll seek for it first for the next replacement.

Ever since I bought these tires, my car vibrates. No matter what I do, I can not get rid of the vibration. I have had them rebalanced, rotated, and rebalanced again. These tires are a good value, but not worth it . I'd rather spend the extra money for a better tires

These are my first all-season tires. I live in Slovakia under the mountains, so I was really hesitant about getting them, but my first experience is very good and I am impressed. I have them fitted from November and I already experienced temperature from +15 to -10 °C. I am very impressed with SF3 during dry condition and also during wet condition, it is much better experience then winter tires also in temperatures under 0 °C.
At first, I was not sure about snow traction...but after it gets me on steep hill without even slipping in 5cm fresh snow I could not believe it. Also I experienced several pass via mountain pass one time with heavy snow, and I was also not a problem. I didn´t feel huge difference between Pirellis SF3 and other premium winter tires. Since my car is FWD...for extra traction when I go skiing I bought also set of sock chains, but I didn´t need them so far...
Now I am curious how they will handle hot temperatures during summer.

I have been buying and using these tires on the same car for about 12 years. I was attracted by the price and the A-B performance levels for grip and fuel economy.
The last set of 4 tires I have purchased have done 15439 miles and the front two (drive wheels) require replacement which is quite a bit earlier than I expected.
I noticed that the last set of tires had a spec change, now a B+B rating and the noise level had risen from 68db to 71db. The price had also risen by £30.
The tires were noticeably louder, reduced mpg by 5%, were 60% more expensive than the last set and have worn faster.
I am now looking for an alternative tire.
