Passenger Car All Season Premium Touring Tyres

I bought them in the autumn as an alternative to classic winter tyres and have recently switched back to summer tyres. They are a great option for mild winters, it is essentially a winter tyre oriented towards dry and wet performance in the cold. They feel more like a winter tyre, indeed, especially when the temperatures rise above 15c degrees. Handling and braking in snowy conditions is adequate. On slush, the Bridgestones are great. On ice, however, they are rather poor. Main advantages are low noise, decent comfort and great wet performance in the cold. Main disadvantages are poor handling feel/feedback and higher fuel consumption compared to summer tyres. Although grip is great at all vehicle speeds, these tyres are prone to understeer and you don't really feel where the limit is. Tyres I could compare them to are Bridgestone Blizzak LM005, Firestone Winterhawk 4, Bridgestone T005, Linglong Sport Master, Nexen N Blue HD plus, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the Hankook Ventus Evo I have gotten for this season. <br />
<br />
I would recommend them to anyone that only drives in the city, drives a low-powered economy car, a secondary car, doesn't drive daily or lives in a place with mild winters.

I’ve previously written two reviews on these tyres praising them highly, however now the temperatures have warmed it’s like a completely different tyre.<br />
<br />
In the warm they oversteer immensely, so much so I was convinced I had an issue with my suspension, having had this checked by two different garages, no suspension issues were found at all.<br />
<br />
With this in mind I decided having been very pleased with the winter performance of these I have decided to keep these as winter tyres, and have fitted Maxxis Premitra HP6 tyres for summer use - these tyres have fixed the oversteer issues and the need for constant corrections.<br />
<br />
Another issue I had with the uniroyals was getting them balanced, two shops tried and couldn’t quite get it right with a noticeable wobble initially at 50mph then at 70mph, the tyres needed to be road force balanced to solve this issue.<br />
<br />
That being said after 7000 miles the tyres have only worn 1.5mm which I’m quite pleased with, as weirdly my car seems to chew tyres down quite quickly and I wouldn’t class myself as a particularly spirited driver.<br />
<br />
In summary, I wouldn’t see these as an all season tyre, being in my garage now unmounted the side walls are incredibly soft now it’s warmed up, however the winter performance of these tyres is great, and I would consider them a winter tyre rather than an all season.

After analyzing multiple tests, I opted for the SF3 Elect (215/45 R20) for its superior damping and class-leading wet performance. On the 20-inch wheels of my Megane E-Tech, the ride has become significantly more refined, soaking up sharp imperfections that used to crash through the cabin.<br />
​A crucial factor in my decision was the Seal Inside (S-I) technology. Since most EVs lack a spare tire, having that internal sealant layer provides essential peace of mind against punctures without the harshness of a traditional Run-Flat.<br />
​Yes, it is a B-rated tire for rolling resistance and likely won't win a longevity contest against the Michelin CC2, but the trade-off for "A-rated" wet safety, silence, and the added security of Seal Inside is a deliberate choice. It perfectly complements a high-torque EV chassis that demands grip, refinement, and reliability.

I chose these tyres for my "farm vehicle" which gets used only for transporting everything you wouldn't put in your nice car. At about 60€ apiece they were the best compromise between price and quality. Payload often exceeds 400kg and the car sees mud regularly. So far, the Hankooks performed very well both on- and offroad, in dry and wet. We only had snow once, and they performed better than any other all-season tyre I ever had (which would be about 6-7 different makes). Winter tyres would obviously be better in snow and ice, but since this car only does about 5-7k miles per year, these tyres suit it well. So far so good, would certainly buy them again!

Buy them as winter tyres for GLK 4matic, driving to mountains with a lot of snow, when turn off stability control, car behave so well, so predictable, so fast on snow road, cutting and curving very nicely. can compare only with old cheap tyres which were on when i bought the car, and it's a big difference! last time i have this good handling in snow was in Iceland with stud tyres. for real, allseason tyres so good at snow. summer handling is of course compromise, but other then than, no minus. even in rainy and pushing it, you can feel and moderate the little sliding on the edge of the grip. very nice and fast. big plus for me is, i can drive it in highways in hot springs and still go to mountains where is still snow. would buy as winter tyre again!

Really impressed with choosing them! I own the car since new (March 2006), it was factory fitted with Dunlop SP Sport 01. Since I replaced them all tires I have tried were balloons (I mean they all had soft side walls, spongy feeling around the straight line & on curves) & I have fitted a lot:<br />
1. Goodyear EfficientGrip<br />
2. Kleber Dynaxer HP 3<br />
3. Kormoran (Don’t remember which one)<br />
4. Pirelli Cinturato AllSeason<br />
5. Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO<br />
6. Bridgestone Turanza T005<br />
All of them with XL (extra load sign) <br />
<br />
The Toyos are really as a tyre should be on that section, gives real information about what your wheels are doing without being too stiff.<br />
They are quiet & their rubber seems to be soft & sticky so far.<br />
They have deep tread & I didn’t noticed any aquaplaning problems. <br />
It’s a little early for final conclusions ( I have less than 1000km experience from them) but for now, I would definitely buy them again

Previously, for nearly a quarter of a century, I used to switch between winter and summer tires; this is my first set of all-season tires. After a very long period of consideration, I decided to choose this tire. It was “competing” for me with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, the Vredestein Quatrac, and the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3.<br />
<br />
The tires were installed on my car in early October 2024, and since then exactly one and a half years have passed, during which I have driven 15,000 km. Fortunately, the tire is very quiet, which contradicts test results that rate it as particularly noisy.<br />
<br />
The tire performs very well as long as the temperature is above freezing. The only situation where I am not satisfied is on dry roads in high-speed, long corners, where the car does not hold its line well and requires several small steering corrections.<br />
<br />
Below freezing, the tire’s grip starts to deteriorate very quickly; the car often slides disappointingly, and the ESP frequently activates. One morning I had the chance to test it in 20 cm of fresh snow: in such conditions, starting, cornering, and stopping are problematic, but otherwise the tire performs well. LOL. So in true winter conditions, it is very weak and falls far short of a proper winter tire.<br />
<br />
Tire wear so far is almost immeasurable; it is that low.<br />
<br />
Fuel consumption has increased noticeably, by roughly 0.2–0.3 liters per 100 km, compared to the previous winter and summer tires.<br />
<br />
I wouldn’t say it’s a bad tire, but I’m not completely satisfied with it. If I had to buy new all-season tires now, I would wait for the new all-season tire that Goodyear has promised for this year, which will be the successor to the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, and I would probably choose that one.

I bought these for a second car in the family which doesn't make a lot of km but it has to be ready when needed so an all season tyre seemed like a logical choice. I decided for premiums to be on a safe side as this was my first experience with all season tyres.<br />
<br />
Already in first season I had to drive in heavy snow: they worked, I survived, at the limit they were progressive, no issues. In wet, also very nice, no issues. Comfort is also very good. However, I give them a huge minus for behaving in dry. Already at 15°C they just hate to turn, in curves the car just sits on sidewalls which feel like paper. Tyre pressure checked. Of course nobody expect wonders in this size on a small car, but still, to not feel like I am abusing my car and tyres I have to drive ridiculously slow in corners. Not acceptable for the price. I mean, I could just buy winter tyres instead.

Exactly as the video review stated sporty but spongy. Driving on a hot dry sunny UK day at 22 degrees C. Compared to the Continental contact tyres I drove to the fitting. The new Faulken AS tyres feel like they drag and don’t feel very responsive to handling. Very much like memory foam insoles and trainers, compared to a good running shoe. I think I’d rather feel the road beneath my wheels thanks!
