205/60 16 Tyre Review Highlights

Michelin Alpin 6 rated 70% while driving a SEAT Leon ST TDI FR 184
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
Bought used wheels with 4-5 year old tires for a year to use.
Average tyre, nothing bad, nothing significant, worked enough even for summer months in +30*C.
Not as noisy as expected by the shape of a tread pattern. I guess phase sequencing helped a lot.
Maybe rubber was old enough, so snow/ice/wet performance started to degrade and were not as best as it could.
Threw away with still 5-6 mm left.

Kumho Ecsta HS52 rated 93% while driving a Opel Opel Combo Life
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Dry grip is great. Wet grip (flat asphalt in a roundabout) is also great.

Continental WinterContact TS 870 P rated 89% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDI Ultra 163
Driving on a combination of roads for 6500 average miles
I have driven these tires for around 10 000 km, it was mild winter this year in the Baltics so not very much of testing for it. But mostly on wet roads it felt very nice, braking performance is really good. Noting to worry about the driving - so I assume it is a feature of a decent tire if you don't have to rethink your driving in special conditions. It's pretty quiet too.

One of the best tyres for nordic weathers. I felt very safe and confident when using these tires. Drive according to the weather and traffic rhythm. Speed ​​limits and keep your distance when driving. Excellent tires!

Yokohama BluEarth GT AE51 rated 44% while driving a Mazda 3 SkyactiV
Driving on mostly town for 3000 average miles
I had read the previously good reviews of this tyre and to be fair, the handling and grip in the dry are decent. However, it has a Jekyl and Hyde personality and in the wet the lack of grip is absolutely shocking. It feels more like a low end budget tyre in the wet, scrambling for grip when pulling onto roundabouts and from junctions at at a quite ordinary pace. Cornering in the wet is a nerve shredding experience, again due to the shocking lack of grip. Definitely not a repeat purchase.

Laufenn I Fit Plus rated 88% while driving a BMW 316d
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
I reluctantly mounted two Laufenn iFit Plus tires on the rear axle of my BMW F31 316d. They replaced a set of Kleber winter tires after one unexpectedly succumbed to a pothole. The Laufenns have far exceeded my expectations in winter conditions. They perform exceptionally well on both snow and ice, providing excellent traction. If you look for winter tires, I highly recommend them—not only is their performance outstanding, but their price-to-quality ratio is probably the best you can get.

Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 rated 100% while driving a BMW 320 d
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Just wanted to share my thoughts about this nice tire. Drove it for around 15.000km, and Im really satisfied because my car is RWD and I live in hills. We’ve had a lot of snow and in not cleaned roads I’ve managed to drive with disabling traction and little bit of “drifting”. Noise level and comfort are really good and driving on AutoBahn is really nice. I do not regret buying it and I would do it again because i’ve seen many FWD vehicles that couldn’t drive where I drove.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 rated 63% while driving a BMW 218d Active Tourer
Driving on mostly town for 20000 average miles
Had them for 3 years now. Till last week, I always bragged how good my decision was to buy all season tires. I live in continental Europe. We don't get snow any more like we did when I was younger. All that has changed. In winter now we get few cm snow at best, and temp. few degrees below 0. That is why I decided not tu buy set of winter tires. And was happy with my decision. But this weekend I drove into montains. No, not Alps, just some 1000m altitide. When I wanted to park, there was unpaved road with some compacted snow on it. It was uphill. I was unable to get forward! Wheels were just spinning! And there were at least 10 other cars who drove on the same road without any issues! What a disappointment! When I tried to turn around, my car started to slip. Almost hitting a tree. I don't understand how these got so good reviews on tire tests in snow. So, even if driving to montains every 3 years, next time I'm buying real winter tires.

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 rated 81% while driving a Mazda 2009 Mazda 6 2.5
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
Bought them as replacement for old Michelin Alpin 5s, only to use them in winter, I live in mild climate, mostly city and some backroad and highway driving. I usually push the car way above legal limits on dry, have GY Asymmetric 6 for summer, those have no limit on average 170hp family sedan. Pirellis compare really good on dry, its just the tire to buy when you want to keep some of the summer tire feeling during winter, not really sporty, but comfortable and really showcase where the limit is on turns when around 0 celsius temperatures. In wet and rain they are little bit better than winter tire, but not as good as summer tire. Havent had any snow this year yet, but last weekend during ice storm, on clean ice they were surprisingly good.

On the downside, when temps drop below -5 C, they lose some dry grip, compound becomes too hard.

Kleber Quadraxer 3 rated 95% while driving a Dacia Sandero Stepway Mk3
Driving on a combination of roads for 6250 average miles
These tyres are impressive. I have tested them in all-weather conditions, from the scorching heat in summer (air temperature up to 38°C), to a torrential rainfall, to spring/autumn temperatures, and to the cold winter temperatures. Plus, I have tested them in snow and ice.
- Scorching heat: in summer temperatures and in the dry, they perform well, with good grip, good braking and low understeer.
- Wet: as the tests revealed, these tyres have outstanding aquaplaning resistance, with no significant issues even at high speed. I have always had good grip on wet conditions.
- Mid-seasons temperatures: when temperatures start to fall to around 15°C, these tyres get even better than in summer, showing a slightly better grip in all conditions.
- Winter: these tyres shine in winter. They are clearly winter-oriented, as as soon as the temperatures get near freezing level, the grip rises even more.
- Snow: I have tested them on around 15cm of snow. Amazing tyres. It truly felt like I was driving in the dry. I had no issues whatsoever, and the car movements were literally the same as in the dry. I didn't even need to adjust my driving to the snow.
- Ice: To my biggest surprise, I was able to move effortlessly even in ice! It felt like I was driving in the snow... the car moved forward, laterally, and in reverse gear without any issue. It felt like I was using winter tyres.
In conclusion, these tyres are outstanding, and they give their best in snow/ice and winter conditions, even if they are definitely good also in summer and mid-season weather. I do recommend them!

Continental EcoContact 6 rated 56% while driving a Kia Motors Niro
Driving on mostly town for 15000 average miles
Fitted on Kia Niro in Aprl 2023, the tires are comfortable, a bit noisy and they wear fast. I don't know about wet grip but the dry grip is avg.
