195/50 15 Tyre Review Highlights

Toyo Proxes TR1 rated 68% while driving a Renault Clio 172
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles
Grip in the dry is phenomenal. Eagle F1 levels of dry grip and for such an affordable price too. Bang average in the wet, but it's a UHP summer tyre!! Absolutely nothing else can beat it at this price point.

Michelin CrossClimate Plus rated 74% while driving a Mazda MX5
Driving on mostly country roads for 18000 spirited miles
MX-5 NA with 1.8 VVT engine, fitting 195/50R15 to 15x6" Enkei MK2 sport rims for all season fast road driving in the UK including 700mi straight trips from south coast England to Scottish highlands in winter. These tyres have never lacked in the wet or dry regardless of how hard they were pushed on the road, within road limits.

The MX-5 is a light car coming in at roughly 1ton and 140hp with the VVT engine swap with an open differential, this made spinning the one driving rear wheel relatively easy for the original fitted budgets from the previous owner. With the CC+ fitted I've had to intentionally clutch kick the car to slip the wheel. Only when driving in the cold (

Hankook Kinergy 4S2 rated 84% while driving a SEAT Ibiza 1.4 TDI
Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 average miles
I had the car for 5 years 16k miles ( 26k km ) and temperatures from -7° to 39°c, I've loved this tire.
Totally reccomend it.

Pirelli CINTURATO P1 rated 66% while driving a Mazda MX5
Driving on track for 100 spirited miles
Tyres that feel like any dampness won't have enough grip... Might be because of a harder compound... 420TW compared to TW300 that i use usually, feel like they need a bit of heat before gripping properly.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 rated 86% while driving a Honda DC2 Integra Type R
Driving on mostly country roads for 6000 spirited miles
Really good all rounder for a sporty fwd car. On heavy acceleration a lot of tyres just give up and spin freely against the road, car inert.
These make much more of an effort. Sure, there’s still wheelspin but I’ve done a 6.34 to 60 in my stock ITR with these so can’t complain.

Handling is also strong. I feel like I can go round corners as fast as I want - as fast as my ageing 1.8 motor will let me

Nexen N Fera SU4 rated 86% while driving a Honda Civic EG
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
I have these tires on my d15b EG Civic for 2 years now. I use these tires on the street and I have tracked them twice.
Dry Grip: On the track, the Nfera SU4 has good dry grip and is very predictable. Perfect for beginner enthusiasts.
Wet Grip: No experience on wet track. Good grip on normal wet driving conditions in the city.
Comfort: I can't comment much on that because my car has a gutted interior and all road noise is being overpowered by the exhaust noise.
Wear: The wear on the tires after 2 years is still pretty good. I use this car only around 2-3 times a week.

Overall these are great tires for the money. Perfect for both city and track use. Would definitely buy again.

Kleber Quadraxer 3 rated 60% while driving a Mercedes Benz A
Driving on mostly motorways for 3000 spirited miles
I have purchased the tires to replace the Barum Quadralis 5 which did the job well for 3 full years (6 seasons). Klebers were considered an upgrade. However, there is one design issue - the tires get very loud roar after you reach about 135 km/h. Loads of roar. It lessens a little bit at 140 km/h. This was considered a quiet tire, but it is not. At least not at the speeds. I will not buy again.

Barum Quartaris 5 rated 72% while driving a Mercedes Benz A
Driving on a combination of roads for 50000 spirited miles
I have bought the tires in 2021 and have drivven them for 6 seasons (3 summers and 3 winters). After 50 000 km, the rubber is still soft and tread depth is 4.5 mm.
I have chosen the tire because the tread pattern is winter-like, with the ideas to use the tires all year round.
They are good in dry, rain, snow - no problem to climb in snow conditions to top of the mountain and return back.
The only weakness, as almost all tires, is when the asphalt is getting wet. but not wetted (when the rain is starting). This is a slippery condition. When it is raining, the tires are fine.

I recommend the tires for the usr who would like an all-year-fighter. I will compare the tire with Kleber Quadraxer 3 later, I will also try them. It has a better class B for wet, but no such winter-like pattern, so I guess the Klebers are not so good on snow.

Hankook Kinergy 4S2 rated 77% while driving a Renault Thalia 1.416V
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
I was surprised that such a well-priced all-season tyre could be so good in the wet. Much better in the wet (traction, braking and handling) than my summer Toyo TR1 tyre and nearly as good in the dry. We don't get much snow here (Hungary), ice and rain are more common, especially the latter. Hence I opted for all-season for winter driving BUT they work well enough in snow, which also surprised me. I was tempted to use them all year around but for the extreme summer heat. Coming from down-under, I was unprepared for the continental climate extremes. I obviously need better summer tyres but I will be getting new Hankook 4S2s when the time comes to replace them. I've done about 15,000km so far. I am about to bolt the winter rims back on this weekend (late October) and I still have 5-6mm of tread left. I'm looking forward to improved grip in the wet, especially.

Cooper Zeon ZPT rated 80% while driving a Mazda mx 5
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 spirited miles
Tires ride fine with confidence in handling and braking but because of nature of car are a little stiff on the uneven bumps and ridges. Tire noise is also OK but not noticeable in a small convertible with all the other noise. I do get some vibration at 68 to 72 mph but don't know if its tires or car. The one thing that I do notice is the rear tires slipping on wet streets upon take off from light or full stop.

Nankang NS2R rated 64% while driving a Suzuki swift sport
Driving on track for 8000 spirited miles
Good but not great grip on track with oversteer balance. Difficult to heat up during daily driving. Acceptable wet grip for this kind of tyre. Hard on bumps and very noisy.
They lasted 9.000 miles and 4 trackdays, there is a lot of tread left but the outer edges are completely worn out. For the price it's great, I would definitely buy them again.

Kumho Solus 4S HA32 rated 0% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.2
Driving on mostly motorways for 3000 easy going miles
Whilst these are pretty respectable all season tyres with good dry/wet/cold grip levels, the side wall where it meets the tread is woefully thin! The result is that my son has gone through 6 tyres, all with sidewall punctures or blisters in 6 months!!. Now, whilst UK roads are in poor repair and potholes abound, I will not buy another. Have switched to Yokahama Greenearth which I hope last a bit longer - all the failed tyres had less than 1mm of wear (much less in some cases). Not recommended.
