Best Tires for the Honda 1.8 VTi

The soft side walls of the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 has left me disappointed in comparison to the Michelin CrossClimate 2 that made my car feel flat like a Ferrari. This was not mentioned in the reviews and is a core component of the thrill and confidence when driving.

Installed those in mid-2023, used them intensively mostly in warm weather. They are comfortable because the sidewalls are softer (I have the H speed index version), but this also means that the car will incline more in curves or even more when doing dangerous maneuvers, sometimes making you think that the car will tip over on the side (even a low car). Driving on the highway feels a little unsafe because the of this softness that makes the steering be very soft.
Ignoring the understeer and the peeling of the profile on the front tires, the grip and braking in normal road conditions (wet and dry) was almost as good as the one from a summer tire.
In the first winter, I saw that the handling and grip left much to be desired but somehow acceptable, and the driving was stressful because of this but I got used to driving slower.
Afterwards in the warm season, it continued to be okay, no matter the road type.
But when the snow came, I got stuck in a slightly inclined intersection that would not have been a problem in the first year. I was the only car getting stuck there. Also, the driving was very dangerous event with a thin layer of snow. Driving as carefully as possible made the car uncontrollable. Steering was not possible without the rear of the car going sideways. Gently braking did not prevent the car from sliding forward.
For me, this is the first time I am getting rid of some tires after before two years.
So, after one year, this becomes basically a mediocre summer tire quite dangerous even with little snow. I find it unacceptable for a company like Bridgestone to sell this product of such low quality.

Wear rate on tire poor overall grip in dry ok wet acceptable.

I bought these tires for my honda civic mk8 1.8. I have driven these tires through snow and 30c+ degrees temperatures and I'm pleased with performance. These are not winter tires or summer they are all weather/all season tire and they the best tires I have bought. I have drove these tires through hardened snow and ice and hot summer conditions in the UK, in summer these tires provided a good level of grip and confidence when driving. The snow/ cold weather grip is adequate and so is the summer characteristics. I'll give these tires a 8/10

Wow. Why have I spent decades driving on touring tires as recommend. The car just drives better, it's hard to describe unless you have experienced it for yourself. Go on treat yourself , life's to short.

I been using this tire here in UAE. Its cheap and it performed well.

Very good tire, it reminds me of the Goodyear Efficient Grip german made which unfortunately not available anymore in Lebanon.

Amazing tires so soft like cotton.great handling while over taking at higher speed.tires gives great grip on the road no bumpy ride on brakers its muaah
