185/60 16 Tyre Review Highlights

Continental WinterContact TS 870 rated 90% while driving a Mazda 2 1.5 sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 easy going miles
After 600km, the car on dry maintains an excellent driving feeling and excellent grip, very precise and direct steering despite being thermal. But on wet... These tires are something spectacular, never tried tires like this before on any car tested. On smooth and very wet asphalt, with temperatures of 9-10°c, the car enters the curve at high speeds without ever losing grip, never feeling the tire at the limit. Tried to brake from 80kmh to 0, not even the ABS came in, the car is simply stuck to the ground despite the very cold, slippery and wet surface. I don't know how else to describe these tires, they are perfect.

Continental WinterContact TS 870 rated 80% while driving a Mazda Mazda2 Sport
Driving on mostly motorways for 0 miles
Mounted today, they replace the factory Toyo Pxs R55A summer tyres for the winter. Obviously I didn't push them to the limit, I drove very carefully and smoothly, I can only say that the car became slightly noisier, which is quite normal for thermals, but the steering didn't seem to have become much more "empty" compared to the summer ones, in fact, it was very direct even on the centre. Always choose premium tyres, it's worth it. I will update my review soon.

Uniroyal RainExpert 3 rated 90% while driving a Hyundai elantra
Driving on mostly town for 20 easy going miles
Handling on wet is great, they have a slight noise to them, very slight tho. We have them for a year now and after over 12 000 km they still look like new, there was no considerable expenditure on the threads.

Maxxis Mecotra ME3 rated 0% while driving a Renault Unknown
Driving on mostly town for 12000 spirited miles
They are fitted to a mk3 clio 1.4.

They are an alright tyre in the dry, reasonably quiet, comfy and have decent grip in the dry. However, anything other than dry they are terrible. Fitted to a 100hp car and it still lights up the tyres in 2nd at a reasonable rpm in the wet. I've never had any tyres do this in such a low hp car. When cornering, they are predictable in the wet and dry which is a plus for me. All 4 tyres currently have 5mm so wear is quite good.

I know its a summer tyre, but they significantly lose grip in sub 0 temps where as my older tyres, dunlop sp sport 01 retained a lot more grip in less than ideal conditions.

Falken Eurowinter HS449 rated 86% while driving a Mazda Mazda2
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Covered about 20,000 miles on these and they still have loads of tread left. I have had them all continuously through winter and summer alike.
Quieter than the OEM Dunlops although a 5-10% penalty at the pumps.

Michelin Energy XM2 rated 72% while driving a Volkswagen VW up black and VW Lupo
Driving on mostly motorways for 100 average miles
I changed the originals Hankook K415 with the Energy XM2, and I found they have the same behavior than the K415, and have the same noise.

Now that use Michelin, I realize how excellent are the Hankook tyres, and they costs 30% less than the Michelins.

I mean the Michelin tyres are a mith.

Toyo SNOWPROX S 942 rated 46% while driving a Toyota Avensis
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
Warning!
This is the worst winter tire i ever had.
NO GRIP ON SNOW/ICE.
On wet and dry it´s fine, and it´s sort of ok in slushy snow but as son as it gets below -5 it´s worthless.
You might just stick whit some soft compound summer tire instead.
I'm living in Sweden so i tested it a lot on real winter roads up here in the north and this is not a tire of choice.
