Best Tires for the Alfa Romeo 147

Pretty good for the price. Endured various kinda of driving over different surfaces, decent grip in the dry, very reasonable when wet! Did not test in the snow - don't really get much snow here.

I had always Continental sport contact in my alfa romeo 147, when Continental stopped to produce sport size 215/45/17, I chose uniroyal rainsport 5 as a fast alternative, uniroyal are good tires, beautiful, but i lost my handling, braking, the grip, always comparing to contisports, for daily and normal driving, I really enjoy uniroyal, but my next tires will be michelin pilot sport 5 or good year assymetric 6.

This tire is amazing. Dry and wet grip is superb. Driving at heavy rain 160km/h is like being on train tracks. Understeer, oversteer... Never heard of that.

I am pleasently surprised by these tires. Untill now I drove the tires only during autumn, winter and spring time. I haven't experienced the tires on any hot summer days, so maybe in the future I will give an update. I live in the Netherlands where it rains a lot. The tires behave really good in the wet. Especially in the cold wet days. I love to drive them. In the dry the tires are really good but they excell more in the wet.

A week ago I drove in the snow and cold conditions in Germany. In the hills in Sauerland I was astonished by the tires. While the snow slowy but steadily started to form a blanket on the road, the tires kept there grip and the safe and secure feeling. They brought my wife and me safe to the hotel while there was probably already 10 cm snow. The following days it was still freezing but the tires did a great job. No unpleasant surprises or anything else. I am really glad I bought these tires.

Honestly I haven't kept an eye on the fuel usage. But I didn't notice any big differences between the Quatracs and the summer tires. I guess it's okay.
There doesn't seem to be any wear. The profile still looks like new.

Conclusion: I highly recommend the Quatracs. They are great in the wet. Steady performance in the dry and safe and secure in the snow. Big shoutout to Tirereviews because the reason I bought them was due to their All season tire test.

My car is tuned, have more torque and HP(than stock model) and this tires fits to my drving style, very good tires.

Worst winter tires. I buy set of 4 and replaced Fulda, bcoz I find them at very good price. On deep, heavy snow Petlas is very good, like on dry road. On wet is so bad, no grip, very hard to control and braking is just disaster! After a one season I replace that tires.

I had a pair of these on a,n Alfa 147 with a pair of Michelin pilot sport 4 on the other axle. The grip is lacking slightly compared to the sports, I did have to swap the axles as I had the grippy pilots on the front originally, a couple of slides around a tight bend later I swapped the grippy tires to the rear! Wear on the primacy 4is far superior however, quite spirited driving up and down twisty mountain roads has seen to the pilots after just 8500 miles while the primacy still showing around 3 mm with 14000 miles, both tires are good in the wet although the pilots definitely excel more. Comfort on either tire is good and road noise is less than engine noise so can’t complain. Handling is more than adequate earning me a chat with the rozzers one day, he was upset that I drove up the mountain faster than he could so informed me I was driving too fast for the conditions, how that was as I remained in my lane all the way up and he was using both lanes to try and keep up I’m not quite sure

The tires were awful IMHO. I know they have a hard time on this car due to the heavy front, but the tires suffered from massive understeer with a high tendency to washing out. In the wet it was risky because you has so much understeer and lack of progresiveness that you had to adjust carefully your speed to avoid going to a ditch. Straightline traction was good, though. Now with GY F1 Assym 5 I have much better grip and feeling. Front tires were done with 4400miles, but that's usual.

Initially, I was suprised how comfortable these tires where. I dont have much experience with tires but they felt way more comfortable than the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 or the Bridgestone Turanza T005. I only had the Hankook and the Bridgestone for a short time. Also, I didn't notice the tire noise that much with the P7. I put them on my car in the summer and I drove from the Netherlands to the south of Italy with them and back (3000miles). They were very pleasant and had good grip in the dry. On our way back driving through Germany, we endured some late summer rain and I started to doubt the capability of the tires more. It felt more insecure and sometimes a little slippery like it was searching for a place without water on the road. Didn't feel that bad, but also not confident. Recently however, we had some heavy rain and the car felt more unstable, nervous and had also some trouble with aquaplaning around 100-110km/h. It could be due to the temperature which was around 6 or 7 degrees Celsius, but it wasn't a nice experience. Also, I start to notice slowly but steady more tire noise in the cabin. The wear seems also not that good, but I am not sure about that. All in all, I don't have tested a lot of tires, but I won't buy these tires again. Due to the noise, the nervous wet grip and the wear that seems not so good. Guess I am gonna go for the Falken Azenis or something.
