Best Tires for the Vauxhall Zafira 1.7 diesel

The CrossClimates were fitted to my Vauxhall Zafira diesel front and rear and they lasted 4 years and 56k miles with tread still remaining on all 4. So you can tell I am a slow driver. Had the same tires on the previous Zafira . Just now (Dec-19) had 4 new CrossClimate+ fitted. I am not a fast driver but I always felt confident with these tires in the dry and especially in the wet and snow. Quiet, hard-wearing and good fuel economy too. What's not to like. Much better than the original tires supplied on the car from new (I did not record the brand, they lasted 28k) and also better than Michelin Energy which I used to use on our cars.

These are the third set of tires I've had on the front of my car and are undoubtedly the best. While not deficient in any way compared to the previous two sets, their wear rate and therefore life have been head and shoulders better. The factory-fit Continentals were utterly dreadful, lasting just 17,000 miles. (I will NEVER buy Continentals. Not only did they wear unacceptably quickly, they seemed unusually prone to punctures: both rear tires suffered terminal punctures in the first 27,000 miles, compared to only one other puncture in the last 40 years.) The Avon ZV7s that I replaced them with lasted a slightly better 19,000 miles. But the current Toyo CF2s are just coming up to 20,000 miles and have plenty of tread left, such that they will last at least 24,000 miles, which is an excellent 25% more than the Avons, for around the same price, and an astounding 40% more than the Continentals, which are much more expensive. To be clear, this is on the same car, with the same (only) driver, doing the same annual mileage on the same mix of journeys, so the results are directly comparable. Given that the Toyos are no worse if not better in every other regard, they are definitely now my tire of choice, so that I will go out of my way and pay more to buy more, and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Have now driven in the Snow/Ice with the Landsail 4 seaons-not failed to get to any appointments-passing other road users stuck in the same conditions-really do recommend these all weather tires-seem to be wearing quite well....

Landsail tires seem to have come along way-Very low noise compared to previous Bridgestone and handling in wet or dry seems exceptional-looking forward to see how they perform in the winter snow/ice...
