245/40 18 Tyre Review Highlights

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 rated 88% while driving a Mercedes Benz c43
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Threw these on my 2018 c43 coupe today after reading reviews all week. I instantly set out to test the performance all evening after throwing them on and I couldn't stop smiling. These are perfect ‘AS’ tires if you love to have fun on a day to day basis while still maintaining it’s practicality. I chose these over summer tires because of how unpredictable the weather could be even during the warmer months here in Ontario. I‘ll still get proper winter tires when the time comes due to the amount of snow we get as well.

Currently running a stage 1, and I can now confidently put all that power down as intended lol. So far it’s left me thinking about how good the ps4s must really be as summer tires if the AS4 tires completely changed the feel of my car. It feels like I drive a ‘track car’ as a daily due to the feel of these tires lol

Kumho IZen KW27 rated 88% while driving a Volvo v70 RDESIGN 2.0 d
Driving on a combination of roads for 30 average miles
These are tyres that just keep giving! I bought this set of Kumho IZen KW27 winter tyres in 2015 after having a particularly bad time in the Alps the previous year driving a Volvo V70 R Design on summer tyres and having to use snow chains whilst the locals were using winter tyres without any issues. They have now completed 30,000 miles, I am driving a different Volvo and the skiing trips have come to an end, but there is still life in these Kumho winter tyres, I'm sure I will get another winter out of them after this winter, I live in the north of England, the winter tyres go on sometime in November and are usually removed by the end of March which mean they are rarely in used in temperatures above 7c, this could be a reason why they have lasted so long.
Originally bought to travel on skiing holidays, where they excel in the snow and ice, I have found that they perform equally well in the cold, wet climate of England, the tread disperses water efficiently providing excellent grip.

BFGoodrich Advantage rated 82% while driving a Lexus GS460
Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 spirited miles
I had these fitted on December 30th and it is now January 16th, so I'm only a couple of weeks in. It is also summer here, so I haven't really been able to do much really wet road driving - so all of this is initial impressions.
Previous tyre was Michelin Pilot 5 sport - which I loved but did not go back to as they have become extremely expensive, and as a UHP tyre I only get around 18 months out of them - also I'm getting old now so don't drive as enthusiastically as I did when I was younger.
So I was looking for something more budget friendly that would last me a few years.
I have to say so far I'm very pleased - the best thing is how it has transformed the ride quality. The P5S were always quite crashy on the Lexus on poor road surfaces (which is basically everything around where I live) - the Advantage Control just soaks it all up, and makes the Lexus feel like you expect a Lexus to feel like.
They aren't a patch on the Michelins for grip, wet or dry - but they are very communicative about their limits. Also, the Michelins always felt a bit vague on centre (actually at times thought I had suspension issues) - the BFG's feel very confident on centre by comparison.
If I felt I still needed something with the best grip in the conditions I mostly drive in, I would still go with the P5S - but I'm extremely happy so far with the BFG's. I'll update in a year or two with my thoughts on wear - I've already done about 3000km on them though and they still appear new across the whole tread, front and rear.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 rated 94% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDI 140 SLine
Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 average miles
Probably the best tyres I've ever had on my daily and they saved my life.

In the dry they offer decent feedback and good grip for minimal road noise, great for long journeys.
In the wet there was no aquaplaning if driving at sensible speeds for the road I was on.
They were very progressive at the limit and you would know when the front end was close to sliding when pushing it on (useful for Audi owners...).
Wear was very even across the tread, nearside shoulder was at 1.6 mm and the main body was approx. 2 mm.

On the life saving bit, I was doing 100 km/h and a van appeared over a blind crest on the wrong side of the road. I decelerated from 100 - 0, easily within the 33 metres claimed by magazines. I've put a new set on the car and won't have anything else on the daily going forward.

Haida HD921 rated 34% while driving a Audi A6, 3.2L, Quattro
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 easy going miles
Came fitted on the front of a used A6. They made so much road noise I thought both front wheel bearings needed replacing. In dry corners they felt like they rolled onto the sidewall and would snap into understeer without warning. In the wet they were terrible. Overall the front of the car never felt connected and would constantly fidget over any slight imperfection. There are some respectful budget tyres out there, but these were just terrible.

Bridgestone Turanza 6 rated 90% while driving a Audi A6, 3.2L, Quattro
Driving on a combination of roads for 800 spirited miles
Have these fitted to an A6 quattro. The car sees a mix of motorway cruising and the odd B road blast. I normally go for Michelin Pilot Sports but found they only really shine in hot dry conditions, in which they are superb, but I haven't been a huge fan of them in colder wet conditions, typical to our British climate.
While the Bridgestones don't feel as responsive as Pilot Sports, they feel more stable in the wet, are quieter and I'm averaging 2mpg more. Not a lot but every gain is welcomed in a petrol V6. The Bridgestones are more comfortable with noticeably more dampening over rough surfaces and while they don't feel as responsive as the Michelins, the grip is there and you'll be sliding out of the seat long before losing grip in a corner.
Overall these are excellent tyres and much more suited to a big German saloon to eat up the miles than the usual performance tyres people default to. The car feels sure footed even in heavy downpours on the motorway yet happy to be thrown down a twisty B road.

Riken Riken UHP rated 59% while driving a Lexus GS450h
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
When I purchased my Lexus GS450H it came with rear only Riken UHPs and in the dry with roughly 4mm remaining tread very grippy hard to destabilise the car without turning off TCS.
Performed well in wet conditions with essential tread levels BUT, be careful on wet conditions and especially when at legal limit tread levels the car can destabilise without too much effort. Otherwise quite solid.

I got around 6000 miles from around 4mm when I got the car so 12000 miles estimated when new.

Davanti Protoura Sport rated 45% while driving a Mercedes Benz C350 V6 Estate
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
On the car when I bought it, relatively fresh tread. Two years hoping for them to come to a worn stage that I can justify simply binning them and replacing them with some Michelins or Continentals. Admittedly on the front end on a rear wheel drive car.
Really have worries when it’s wet and /or cold.
Super hard compound , doesn’t give much confidence in summer and get replaced every autumn with winter tyres.

Michelin Alpin 7 rated 90% while driving a Audi A4 b9 2.0 tdi
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
I had only recently bought these tires. There were no reviews since they are brand new, but I had Alpin 3 and 4, plus this is Michelin, so I figured they are good. And indeed they are. Much sofer and offer more comfort than my summer Goodyear F1 Asymetric 6. Thats the first impression. They offer more comfort. Noise is the same as F1, handling is fine, as you expect. Still waiting for a below zero temperatures and snow, but for now - you get what you pay for. Excellent tyre

Davanti Protoura Sport rated 26% while driving a BMW 120d xdrive with MSport Package
Driving on mostly town for 14 average miles
Useless tyre if you ask me. Brand new set on a year ago, all of them are almost at the tread limit. When brand new they gripped reasonably well but after maybe a month or two that went out the window. Horrendous in the wet, 30-40mph understeer on bends in a four wheel drive 1 series. Not very comfortable. One thing I will give them though is they can take a hit, I’ve hit some serious potholes in these and heard some brutal sounds when doing so yet the tyres have been fine, also never had a puncture, could be luck but I’m notorious for bad luck with nails in tyres. Overall though they’ve worn out very fast, don’t grip so well after a thousand or two miles, useless in the wet, not very comfortable and don’t give great road feedback. Disappointed at the lifespan on them if I’m honest.
