225/55 17 Tyre Review Highlights

General Altimax Arctic 12 rated 89% while driving a Infiniti G37
Driving on mostly town for 500 spirited miles
I’ve been using the General Tire Altimax Arctic 12 (studded ) this winter, and they’ve been a game-changer in harsh conditions. The **traction on ice and packed snow is outstanding**, giving me confidence even on slippery roads. The studs really help with stability, especially when braking or cornering on black ice.

One thing that really impressed me is the **wet traction in cold temperatures**. Unlike some winter tires that can feel slippery in slushy or rainy conditions, these handle wet roads **very well**, maintaining control and grip.

In deep snow, they also perform impressively, keeping the car stable and predictable. One downside is that, like most studded tires, they are **noisy on dry pavement**. However, that’s a small trade-off for the **safety and performance they provide** in extreme winter conditions.

Overall, if you need **serious winter traction** with **great wet performance in the cold**, the **Altimax Arctic 12 (studded)** is a solid choice. Just be prepared for some road noise on clear days!

Yokohama Geolandar CS 4S G061 rated 80% while driving a Suzuki vitara s 1,4 boosterjet
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
Excellent tyre! Outperforms other medium summer tyres in wet and dry performance, and its aggressive tread pattern drives specially well on mud/forest tracks. One thing to consider is that the sidewalls are stiff, so lots of road feedback (also very precise cornering).

Kumho Solus 4S HA32 rated 59% while driving a Mazda 6 Wagon
Driving on mostly motorways for 15800 easy going miles
I already wrote a review shortly after I bought these tires. Then I was quite positive. Sadly my opinion changed, and not for the good.
First things first. From the beginning I had some vibration problems. Especially at speeds around 60 km/h I experienced a wobble in the steering. I moved the front tires to the rear vise versa, that was a bit better but the vibration was irritating. Recently I went to a tire shop for road force balancing my rears. The force was very high, but after rotating the tires on the rims most of the vibration has gone. I’ve never had this issue with any other types of tires.
Another thing I dislike very much are the grip levels. Especially in the lateral direction on a wet road it is quite bad. But also in a longitudinal direction. One time I had to do an emergency stop, and I really was shocked about the braking distance necessary.
Grip levels in dry conditions are okayish. Same in winter conditions with some snow.
Stability straight ahead could be better. Many little steering corrections are necessary all the time. This is a bit tiring.
The comfort level is good, the tires don’t produce a lot of noise. Wear also seems to be okay.
They are cheap, but I would not buy them again.

Bridgestone Weather Control A005 rated 80% while driving a Subaru Forester
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
No other tyre compares with this one on wet, even on wet dirty roads, great handling even in a huge storm and heavy rain.

Continental EcoContact 6 rated 73% while driving a Mazda 6 Wagon
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
It's not a bad tyre performance wise, very good grip on corners at high speeds on country highway, wet grip is mediocre, when starting from an uphill traffic light, it skids easily. And the tread durability is very concerning. It came with only 6.5mm tread new and with only 7000km on those tyres they have shown very obvious wear. I probably won't buy them again as I drive a lot and these have bad durability, however if you don't drive a lot it's a decent performing tyre.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 rated 66% while driving a Mazda 6 Wagon
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 average miles
TLDR: perfomance decline after just 2 seasons!

Driving in Finland, I bought a set of these based on the stellar reviews. For 2 seasons it was great. Especially in the snow and on white ice. Black ice performance was ok, but not great. Average in the dry and wet (to be expected).
During the 3rd season the performance declined significantly. I got stuck in downtown Helsinki on a snowy icy patch of tarmac while parking, other cars(regular 2wd) left the same spot even on studless tires without issues. Even the slightest icing / slush on the roads were too much. I lost confidence in the tire, I reported it to Nokian and they took the tires for inspection after the 3rd season. Without doing any tests they sent it back and said it was all ok. Never buying a Nokian again, it seems the lifetime of these tires is 2 seasons, even when there is plenty of tread remaining.

Continental UltraContact rated 76% while driving a Subaru Forester
Driving on mostly country roads for 15000 spirited miles
Drives great, in dry and wet and handling inspires confidence. All good stuff. But was wore out in 20/30,000 km. The Yokohama Geolanders I had before these got almost 80,000km. Not as good but lasted a lot longer. I got the UC6 at half price but still not great value. maybe the big chip and gravel wore out the compound. No punctures thru and took them on mild off road terrain.

Maxtrek MAXIMUS M1 rated 47% while driving a BMW 520d
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Out of necessity I had to go with Maxtrek Maximus M2 tyres. They’re absolute garbage heavy vehicles like BMW 5er. They’re on rear axil and just does tail spin all the time while negotiating roundabouts in wet conditions. I’m so scared to go at 80 in wet conditions. NEVER AGAIN.

Falken ZIEX ZE914 EcoRun rated 94% while driving a Mercedes Benz Vito
Driving on a combination of roads for 30 average miles
I have had these tyres for about 3 years. I estimate I've travelled 50,000+ km's.
I'm now due to replace all 4
We have done done quite a few 2,000 k'm trips on good quality highways. The tyres were excellent in wet and dry and hard braking.
We have always felt safe driving with these tyres.
For me, personally, the steering is always the most important. The only issue I've had has been a screw in the front driver side tyre. Still, the tyre has held firm. Thus why I'm now replacing all 4 as the wear mark is also approaching. This is my 2nd set and I'm definitely considering these again
Sometimes, it's worth paying a 'little more' knowing the quality is never compromised
Tyres have always been 'noise free' and the ride has been very comfortable. Vito's are a good ride anyway
I bought this Vito with 199,000 and some Chinese tyres, they were very noisy and a little loose on roundabouts and 90' corners.
The Falken have always handled well.
I am very satisfied with this brand and tyre design.
I would definitely recommend them and, No, I'm not on the payroll Ha ha. I am an average road user and bought this Vito in 2016
I am currently upto 291,000 km's
The tyre wear has been even right across the tread pattern. I hope this helps other drivers.
I have also carried motorcycles in the rear and again, the drive was easy.

Michelin CrossClimate Plus rated 84% while driving a Volkswagen (B8) 1.4 TSI (150 Hp) DSG ACT
Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 average miles
Used on 1.5 ton sedan for about 35 000km/22 000 miles now. Note that the actual car is Renault Talisman but I selected Passat as closest thing available size/weight wise

PROS:
- dry feedback/handling - I can do way over speed limit outside of towns (glides through corners at 120km/h even now); you feel a pronounced 'edge' when turning at high speed feeling the limit
- master snow grip - went on not cleaned street and did sharp acceleration, braking, twitching steering wheel left-right; best I got was millllld understeer, VERY safe tire on snow
- wear - just passed my registration/inspection, they still feel 90% like they did when new, it's incredible. Visual inspection shows fronts a bit more worn (torque heavy diesel engine)
- with wear in mind, actually great value. Even though they were a bit more pricey initially, it all gets leveled with time

CONS:
- wet performance is great in straight line (aquaplaning etc.) but is average at best in sharp turns, I once understeered to an incoming lane at 35kph sharp corner during a rainy day
- CC2 went too far towards snow grip which makes it hard for me to recommend the current model
