215/45 16 Tyre Review Highlights

Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08RS rated 95% while driving a Toyota MR2 mk3 Roadster
Driving on track for 5000 average miles
This is a sporty road tyre with a track tyre pattern, not a track tyre. Once this is taken into account, these are very good.
I did quite a few track days with them, and they still have plenty of life left. The wear pattern is even across the tire.
The car feels very balanced, the dry grip is very good, and the wet grip is good as well, quite surprisingly.
These tyres are much more suitable for track use than other "standard" UHP tyres I've owned in the past and are perfectly suitable for daily use. I hadn't noticed any excessive noise of anything of this sort.
(Toyota MR2 mk3, 185/55R15 front, 215/45R16 rear)

Nokian WetProof rated 94% while driving a SEAT LEON 1.6 105 bhp
Driving on a combination of roads for 54 average miles
Tyres lasted from June 2020 to January 2025, total of 54,727 miles. They were on FWD hatchback and I rotated tyres on average every 6 months. Amazing tyres in wet, never had to back off going into corners. That 54K miles was even mix of motorway and national/regional roads.

RoadX RXMOTION U11 rated 46% while driving a Audi A1
Driving on mostly town for 3000 average miles
I would definitely not recommend this tyre unless you drive at snail speed in the dry with a car that has little power. The front lets go on cornering in the wet, with little warning. Bought a pre-owned Audi A1 with them on, and was it not for the car's handling capability and safety features and my driving experience and skill, these tyres would have had me in trouble

Davanti DX390 rated 100% while driving a Skoda Unknown
Driving on a combination of roads for 28000 average miles
A cheap tyre that went way above expectation. 28.000 miles / 45.000 km in 3 years and surely unhappy that they are not available any more. The price back then was 240 euros for 4 pieces. Miles driven on highways at usual speeds around 150km/h and on soil/village roads. Due to low profile the tyre pressure was usually at around 38-40 psi as recommended by the tyre shop, not 34. They never slided when sudden braking occurred or given the sense of losing control/grip. Good grip both on wet and dry road. Previous tyres were dunlop and Bridgestone, didn't last so long dunlops were double priced and Bridgestones 50% more expensive.

Rotalla Setula 4 Season RA03 rated 82% while driving a Skoda Unknown
Driving on mostly country roads for 1 spirited miles
Very pleased with performance in a wide range of circumstances. Living in UK North East had our first snow and ice since these tyres fitted and well pleased. Progressive breakaway In dry, wet, ice and snow. Not a summer tyre so response perhaps little soft but still good enough for what they are. Definitely would buy again

Dry grip is phenomenal, wet grip is better than expected. But the noise is unbearable

Tigar High Performance rated 70% while driving a Audi A1
Driving on a combination of roads for 5500 average miles
I needed to replace a set of very high performance, but extremely worn summer tyres, before a long trip. Due to availability and budget constraints I went with the Tigar High Performance tyres. These have proven very good, especially at the price point. The tyres offered really good dry grip, handling and comfort. Wet grip is also good and they are relatively silent. They have worn a bit over 5500miles, but I expected this considering the price. In all I would definitely recommend to anyone on a budget.

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx rated 43% while driving a Skoda Unknown
Driving on mostly town for 37 easy going miles
These tyres came with my 2015 Skoda Fabia, very unsporty car in SEL trim so cannot say much about the dry performance/feedback these tyres provide as it's generally a sloppy A-B car. I will focus my review on the older set, which are original to the car and are now 6 years old - They were originally 3 years old when I bought the car and have been exceedingly noisy, and after nearly 5 years have started to crack on the surface of the tyre, and longer cracks on the tyre wall. More expectedly, the tyres now loose grip on roundabouts in the wet as they are 6 years old with 4.5mm of tread remaining. They were fitted to the rear of the car for 28,000 miles and have been on the front for roughly 9,000 miles - so as for mileage wear these have been excellent, but age wear has been poor. The fresher set which are now 4 years old, are yet to crack and have always been much quieter. No idea how many miles these have been on the car for. I would not recommend these tyres only due to the excessive noise and cracking on the original set, and reading the reviews cracking seems to be common after only a few years.
