255/50 20 Tyre Review Highlights

Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season rated 75% while driving a Jaguar I Pace
Driving on a combination of roads for 44000 spirited miles
Used for 70t km on my I-Pace. Not extremely grippy, nor the latest in feedback; but very quiet, comfortable and energy efficient and lasted nearly twice as long as the OEM tyres.

Michelin Latitude Sport rated 83% while driving a Land Rover Range Rover L322 4.4 V8
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Very good tyres, but come on Michelin only 8mm tread depth at new.

Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 rated 84% while driving a Hyundai Ioniq 5
Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 average miles
These are mounted on an after market set of rims to New Zealand’s South Island for the winter ski season. From mid June to early October. Only got them in August but I have done 5,000 km on them.
Impression when compared to the OEM Michelin Primacy 4 235/55r19 is a softer stickier compound which does indeed stay softer in lower temperatures such as frosty mornings. The Primacy gave me a couple of scary moments on early morning ice in June (winter down under) so I got the Hankooks for the colder weather. Haven’t had them break loose yet! They are grippy in the dry and being brand new the wet too, possibly more so the pan the Primacy. Tread depth is 7.5mm in the central two grooves and interestingly only 7.0 mm in the outer two. The sipes are not full depth like the Primacy so the wet and snow grip may suffer as they wear. Snow grip was good on lightly dusted ski field roads, also on a muddy slurry overlying gravel roads.
Noise is slightly higher than half worn Primacy he mid frequency range I think but not obtrusive even in the EV.
The only thing that stops me running them all year is the reduction in range. Consumption of power went down from 21 kWh per 100km (adjusted for the 3-4% greater tyre size of the Hankooks) to about 18 when I swapped back to the Michelins.
The wheel plus tyre weight is I think very similar when both tyres are brand new. The Michelins have lost 500g in 40,000km (rotated) which is a loss of 3mm tread from the 6.5mm when new. The Hankooks averaging front and rear have worn about 0.5mm in 5000km but it’s hard to tell accurately yet.
So a good purchase for the winter weather here when we get little snow on the flat, just ice, and are required to use snow chains on ski field roads anyway if it actually snows.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 rated 90% while driving a Jaguar F Pace R Dynamic P400
Driving on mostly motorways for 10 miles
These tires are amazing on ice, snow and wet roads. They also perform well on dry roads, but I bought them for my wife because the factory "all-season" tires on her 2021 Jaguar F-Pace R-Dynamic P400 were terrible on ice and snow. The difference was day & night when they were installed in December of last year in the midst of weekly blizzards and freezing rain in Minnesota. She drives the F-Pace 50 miles to work 2 days per week on a mix of back roads and 4-lane, so needed a tire with dependable winter performance.

Bridgestone Blizzak DM V2 rated 61% while driving a Mazda CX9
Driving on mostly motorways for 25000 average miles
I have been using those tires in a wide range of situations: from German autobahn at 180kph+ to deep snow passing trough hot weather and mountain roads. Overall, when the wether is dry, hot, snowy and icy, the tires are performing fine (especially when new). The only real concern is the total loss of grip I am regularly facing when driving under rain. I noticed this to be likely related to the wear of the tires too. My conclusion: it is an ok tyre when use for what is has been intended for (Nordic winter only). However, there are tires with better performances on wet. Therefore, I would definitely not buy them again, especially when considering the asking price…

Falken ZIEX CT50 rated 58% while driving a Unknown Unknown
Driving on a combination of roads for 36000 average miles
Purchased 2018 Mazda CX-9 Grand touring new in 2018. One of the reasons I purchased this car was it's quiet ride. One of the tires had a slow leak since day one so at 20,000 miles the dealer replaced that tire. That's when these tires started going south. No matter what I did rotate every 5K or keep the pressure at a higher number like 38 or 35 they simply remain noisy. My car now has 36k miles on it after 5 plus years.wesr has been good. Supposedly they should be good for another 10 to 20k miles. I don't drive nearly as much as I used to and when I do I want a nice comfortable quiet ride. Never going to get that out of these tires. I can't wait to get rid of them. I love my Mazda and can't wait to bring it back to its quiet smooth ride. The only thing stopping me in exchanging lease at this point it's a really can't get a great reading from reviews of other tires. Any suggestions?

Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 plus rated 69% while driving a Mazda CX9
Driving on a combination of roads for 60000 spirited miles
came as OE on my 2020 Mazda cx9 - reviewing at 85.000 km rn Average tire with some strong points and weaknesses, pros: -Long treadwear life, tire can survive another 15000 km easily. -Managed to survive Saudi Arabian extreme heat for 3 years and street potholes. -daily driven to work and 2 road trips on yearly basis. -low rolling resistance = good fuel economy cons: -past the first year and half the tire would develop some whining noise on highways. -the tire is too stiff for my preference. -tire behavior is unpredicted on sporty driving. -and the biggest CON PRICE PRICE PRICE! why would i spend around 300 USD on a single tire when I can get a full set of reputable Korean brand for 400USD?? This Ain't it, Chief.

Michelin X Ice Snow SUV rated 83% while driving a Audi E Tron 55 Quattro
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles
Outstanding winter tire. Ride comfort, noise and handling is superior to the OEM summer tires (Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season) but obviously unsuitable for year-round use as they get too soft in warm temperatures. Tread noise is completely absent which is remarkable for a winter tire and treadwear is excellent so far. No meaningful impact on EV range.

Goodyear Eagle Sport All Season rated 48% while driving a Audi E Tron 55 Quattro
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 spirited miles
Very noisy and stiff in a way that does not translate into handling or steering feedback, think flinty like a modern BMW on run-flat tires and tread roar is present at all speeds which is very noticeable in a quiet EV. Much prefer the car on winter tires (Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV). Treadwear is decent about 6000 miles in. Due to exceptionally high cost (30% more than anything else in the class) and compromised comfort, will switch to a different tire when these OEMs wear out, probably CC2s.

Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season rated 85% while driving a Jaguar Fpace S 3.0i
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
Replaced the awful Contisport 5s on my Fpace. No more skipping in cold weather, much better grip in the dry and wet. Not had an opportunity to try in snow or ice, but have been very impressed on muddy greasy back roads. Ride comfort has been much improved

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 rated 93% while driving a Land Rover Range Rover Velar
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 average miles
Great all round tyre! Excellent handling in wet/Damp conditions. I’ve done close to 1000 miles so far and very impressed. Been off roads in farms and down to the blast faces in quarry’s and grip has also been there. Only slight negative is I get a small amount of road noise on that horrible concrete stretch of the M25 (jnc9 to jnc8)
