215/50 R16 Tyre Review Highlights
Writing about the Continental Premium Contact 6
rated 76%
The tire has great levels of grip in the dry. Steering is precise and predictable near and at the limit. Tires overheat quite quickly under track use conditions.
Tire is a lot quieter than PS4, but it is not a quiet tire. Wet grip exists, but it is not great.

Terrible tyres, noisy and awful wet grip.
Came on the car from Arnold Clarke they will be changed before they are worn out.

I have been using the tyres for about 5k km and can say it's really good. I was using PS4 before this and can say the grip on wet and dry are similar. Can't say much about the wear as I can't drive now during pkp :p. Overall I highly recommend the tyres as it is budget friendly and really good.

Cheap tyre and nice wear after near 6 month.
Under rain condition this tyres are an HORROR.
In the highway after taking some water on the road I lost totally the car control.
I had never happened in worse conditions with Bridgestones Potenza.

Writing about the Nokian WeatherProof
rated 78%
So far run 5000k miles and found them to be as good as Wintracs for winter conditions with excellent cold dry grip, cold wet grip and frosty conditions, and hard packed snow. More recently with warmer dry roads I've found their limit rather more easily than I'd expected, considering these are touted as 'all season' tyres. They are quiet compared to the summer tyres I changed from but that's no surprise considering those are Bridgestone Potenzas with a 40% profile. Straight line stability at high speed is not as good as I would expect from a good 'all season' tyre - not as good as the Vredestein Quatrac, for example.

Writing about the Kumho Solus HS51 Harmony Sports
rated 70%
Ive used kumho ecsta, ku36 & ku39 and found them great value. Great grip up to 8 or 9 tenths but push harder & they start to lose grip. Great in the wet too. They were very comfortable & quiet which made long jrnys much less tiring, this is mostly down to how soft they are specially in the side wall compared to other brands so not the most durable (15 months or 12000 miles on average), the tread lasts longer than the tyres grip so it wud still get through MOT but had lost a lot of grip by then. Just had these new HS ones about 150 miles ago so not really pushed them yet but these initially felt even more comfy & wet & dry felt very good..seems to have faded slightly already but cud just b me pushing them without realising it...will update this review once I've had a few more hundred miles & motorway jrnys. Once fully bedded in (100ish miles including motorway speeds) will push them in the corners too.

Excellent tyre in all conditions. Made my TVR safe and predictable even on standing water. Has given me the confidence to accelerate and brake in wet without wincing.

Very comfortable tyres, quite good in the wet and exceptionally silent. Good wear, reasonable grip. Not terribly exciting tyres though, buy if touring is the priority.
