Best Tires for the Renault Laguna sport tourer

I have just replaced the front corners after 20k miles of wear in two years.Two more zLines.The tires have served me well. Performance in the dry or wet has never given me cause for concern. Grip and feedback is excellent. The tires are XL rated. The front end of my Laguna is heavy, the tires being at 38psi pressure. Some may complain at the tire life, but that front end has worked hard. Grip and wear will always be a compromise. The rear tires still have 4 to 5 mill on them, all four corners being replaced at the same time in Aughust 2014.

Replaced Accelerax2 and Eventx2 summer tires. Horrendous handling in wet, and not much better in any other conditions.
But we are now speaking of Matador Sibir Snow.
Had to fit winter tires to satisfy European laws. Was travelling to Poland from U.K..
In all conditions other than snow, which was not encountered, these perform in an outstanding manner. For a so called mid range tire, they out class many premium brands.
Unbeatable value, and running extremely well, will keep them on for the summer.
Have done this before with previous winter rubber, and they inspire confidence, no matter the season.
Wish I could report on snow grip though ....................

Run Flat Pirelli P 7's on the front of my Laguna II V6 3.0 . The omly tire yet to survive more then 20,000 km's. Probably have another 10,000 left on them...very impressed. Cannot fault actually. Nice sidewalls with rubber ridge, nice look to the tire and cannot hear any difference over the Michelin's that i had on before. A bit expensive but if it lasts then it probably isn't...
Perhaps if anything they might be a bit noisier on coarse gravel but negligible. How the car grips in the wet is dependent also on the traction control which is a bit overzealous on most cars these days...bit hard to judge. No problems thou.

Done over 40k on 2x sets of these and found them perfectly adequate for the job. My driving style is leisurely but not sluggish and I have honestly never felt unsafe with these fitted and find them very quiet on the road.

Have had these fitted on my laguna estate for the last 10 years, put on for the price, perhaps the owners of the previous comments need to learn how to drive properly ( there is a place to drive like a moron, its called a track) yep will always have these fitted get nearly 18k out of the front tires, quiet ride and funnily enough have no problems with wheel spin or slipping.

After losing several premimium branded tires to pot holes I decided to go for a budget brand and the deal offered by tireshopper on the Wanli S1063 was unbeatable. So I had a pair fitted to the front of my 2.2Ltr Renault Laguna estate that I use for work and is always fully laden.
They took a good few hundred miles to bed in and lose their initial slippyness. After that I was impressed. A couple of months later I replaced the rear tires with the same tire.
I have noticed no significant increase of noise and I think the car actually steers better with the Wanli than it did with the previous tires that cost more than twice as much.

I also own a Mercedes Benz E class. I would not fit Wanli to that car, purely because I am a brand snob with it and want to keep the tires to the originals, but I would happiy fit them to my Renault again and think that they are excellent value for money.

Read This..Superb Tires
I used these tires through the winter of 2011/2012 which we had limited snow, but cold (ish) temps and found they were excellent. Im a spirited driver and the wear rate is excellent.
Winter 2012/2013 a lot more snow has landed. All i can say is i love these tires. We live in Bury and have a local hill called Holcombe hill. One of the snowy nights i took the car for a drive, overtaking everyone with summer tires getting beeped at an awful lot. I even overtook 4x4 un-knowingly to them i have winter tires and they have summer tires. I drove up Holcombe hill with ease, turned round half way up, it just turned driving into so much fun.
I know the limits of the tires, you're not invincible but i'll be removing them end of march and getting a 3rd winter out of them. Unless there is 1 foot of snow you will not get stuck at all with these tires. Cornering, ice, snow, rain, dry, cold these will do it all. Try and buy in middle of summer when cheaper. One last point on Winter tires do not buy any tires from ebay which have 3-4mm of tread on winter tire. Trust me you will not get the full potential of 6mm plus tread (AT LEAST) and you will think winter tires are no good. I have also used Hankook optimo 4s and they are superb tires as well.

just perfect tires , using only rain sport 2 , highly recomended.

Have tried both 91 load rated and extra load (94). Car responded better with extra load fitted, as the standard load variety felt softer with more noticeable sidewall movement. Performance in wet is very reassuring, but there are quieter tires out there. Nonetheless, very impressive performance and good durability.

The Avon ZV5 made by Cooper in the UK! Its a premium tire, Avon are also used in Formula3 and 3000 racing with great results. Can not fault them! Outstanding grip in the wet and the dry with predictable handling. Also the tire has a rim flange protector to help guard against kerbing damage on our lovely alloys. I normaly use Michelin or Dunlop but prices have gone up on those top names and my local tire place was able to fit those ZS5 for only £95 each!! Not sure why they get the bad press about wear, so far so good and hope to let you know the final mileage!
