225/55 15 Tyre Review Highlights

Sailun Atrezzo Elite rated 73% while driving a Toyota Corolla
Driving on mostly motorways for 5000 average miles
These types felt very comfortable in the early stages of its life. As time went on the road noise became much noticeable. In terms of handling they performed well in wet conditions even in the earlier stage of its life. I wouldn’t have as much confidence in them in wet conditions after 15000km, the performance was still acceptable but not as good.

Toyo T1R rated 83% while driving a Toyota MK2 MR2 NA
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Good tires for the price with great grip in wet and dry conditions, Although next to useless in snow!!! Impressed with the wear, done 10000miles and still half the tread left. Changed my cars feel beyond all recognition would definitely buy again!!

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 rated 74% while driving a Toyota Celica VVTLi
Driving on a combination of roads for 15 spirited miles
Dry: Dry grip is good but IMHO it could be better. Very progressive feel when losing grip and warns via very loud squeals and screech's when it's on the limit. GSD3 seems to like to wander around on less well paved surfaces. Dry braking performance is very good and gives good confidence. Performs at its peak after running in on an average of 1000 KM. Setting lower air pressures gives it a more comfortable ride but out in an extra 5 psi or so the sidewall firms up and tyre scrubbing is reduced drastically. Grip goes up exponentially but noise and discomfort goes up as well.

Wet: Exceptional wet performance. Confident inspiring even on the wettest days or nights. Grip is phenomenal and is able to claw you out of tight spots when you get into them. Great feel as well when its at the limit and very progressive.

Do note that alignment really affects the performance of the tyres substantially. Experimented with running camber settings between -1.5 Front and -0.5 Rear and -1 Front and -0.2 Rear and found that straight line wet performance suffers on the former. The "V" operates more efficiently in channeling water when it is as flat as possible. Car now permanently runs on -1 Front and -0.2 Rear camber setting.

After 15,000KM of hard driving tyres has worn down to 50% Front and 70% Rear. Rotation is promptly done and now after another 17,000km the tyres are worn down to 50% Front 50% Rear. I go through tyres fairly quickly due to my weekend drives up (and down) the northern Malaysian mountains and they go through A LOT of abuse. They hold up very well and I still remain impressed with its wet weather performance. Will purchase them again after experimenting with other tyres.
