235/45 20 Tyre Review Highlights

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 rated 84% while driving a Renault Austral Full hybrid
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 easy going miles
These are slightly quieter than the factory fitted tyres ( Michelin) and notice no difference in dry or wet in summer but noticeable increase in grip and handling in the typical Highlands cold/very wet roads, been a very cold and very wet previous winter and has handled the snowy bits quite well ( not as good as crossclimate 2's in the snow) coming into another winter here in the Highlands, so will see how this winter pans out.
Very pleased with the product and performance and at over £200 cheaper for a full set than the Michelins all seasons, very happy with the tyres.

Continental Sport Contact 5 rated 80% while driving a Skoda Koadiaq RS
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Have had them as standard fitment on my Kodiaq vRS. Owned a diesel for 4 years which I traded in for a petrol vRS. On the diesel which is heavier by I guess 65 kgs (at the front), the tyres lasted abt 26k kms and were down to 3mm. No track usage but driven spiritedly whenever possible. The grip is great, the breaking and feedback is great in both dry and wet. Inspires a lot of confidence to drive quick. Past the 4mm mark, the wet grip/handling starts getting compromised but can be fun aswell - the tail steps out easier. On the petrol too, the tyres have the same characteristics. Have used them on track. Down to 5mm now after 16k kms. I did feel the wear is on higher side but given the other characteristics, its an even trade-off. Cannot comment how it compares to other high performance tyres. Will probably try something else like Pilot Sport just to know the difference once the current set wears off.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 rated 86% while driving a Audi 1.8T Quattro
Driving on mostly motorways for 40000 easy going miles
Used on Skoda Kodiaq. I do 900k's a week and clocked up 65k's on these and rotated twice. awesome wear. Used over 2 winters and no slips whats so ever on the twisty roads I drive. Highly recommended. Swapped over from the Continentals on car and would have replaced with them but they were twice the price. can't compare the two as swapped out nearly wore continentals at around 40k's.

Vredestein Quatrac rated 84% while driving a Mercedes Benz GLE 350de
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
So, i have those tires installed on my GLC350. The rims came with 2 new all season tires and i have purchased additional 2. When i saw the texture of the rubber i thought that those tires will not be good for snow especially that the rims are big and car is very heavy,.over 2tones. My experience so far, tested on dry, wet and snow. On dry and wet the car handles wery well even at high speeds and surprisingly tires are silent. Tested them on the snow recently Poland and Slowakia. No issue to navigate trough snow 5-10 cm on road not a single time anti slippery system came on. One minus ive noticed, turning may be a little bit more tricky but holds well if you turn at low speed. Exiting from a parking lot full of snow without an issue ( 4x4 helps also) I do recommend those tires i believe they are a very good compromise. Are dedicated winter tires better, from top companies( Continental Pirelli Good Year) absolutely, are dedicated medium class winter tires better ( Fulda, Hankok) is questionable. When both me and my mechanik saw the steucture of tire we were sure it will not perform well in winter but it seems our impression was wrong.

Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico rated 43% while driving a Renault Grand Scenic
Driving on mostly town for 8000 spirited miles
One of the most slippery tyres i used in my 19 years of driving experience. Do not buy this tyres! Cheated by workshop that told me it is Scorpion Verde. This is Scorpion Zero.... Dry maybe still controllable.... Wet please drive like a turtle.

Vredestein Ultrac Vorti rated 86% while driving a Saab Automobile Saab 9 5 Aero
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 average miles
I have read all sorts of mixed reviews on these tyres and find it a bit perplexing. I'm on my second set and can't fault them. I've had several high powered cars and gone through a range of top tier tyres that were all good but didn't match these Maybe it's a tyre to car symmetry that makes for mixed feedback who knows.

Powertrac CityRacing rated 14% while driving a Audi A6 S line
Driving on mostly town for 25000 average miles
I have never seen anything like this......absolute trash!!!!!!Yes after 25000km there was maybe 1-2 mm on the tree.However there were large bubbles on the inside of the tyres which I have never seen..It wasnt just a bad wheel......It happened to all 4.....one wheel had a bubble almost the size of your fist....... Thank god it didn't pop when my family were in it.......May take this matter legal!!!!!!

Continental ContiSportContact 5 P rated 88% while driving a Skoda Unknown
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Have them as OEM from these factory on my Skoda Kodiaq Vrs.. Amazing levels of grip both in dry and wet conditions. Ideal for spirited driving. Confident braking. Can't say much about the wear as I ve head them on only for 5k kms, so they still have close to tread depth at new....
