Citroën C1 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear DuraGrip given 69% (165-60-15-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 20000 average miles
I was unsure at first as they had low grip, but after a few miles they wore in and I felt very confident in the wet and dry with the grip of my car. I never worried about aquaplaning when I had decent tread and I drove in very wet flooded conditions on the M6 with no issue, where I had significant issue with falkens in the past. On harsher corners I wasn't overly confident in the tyres. They seemed comfortable but were noisy, although the sound doesnt bother me. They lasted 2 years before I thought about changing them due to tread wear. Today I noticed that the outside wall of one of the tyres had a bulge in them although this isn't an issue as they needed changing anyway. On average I do about 8 to 9k miles a year on poor country roads and motorway occasionally.

Driving on mostly town for 3000 easy going miles
I was a little concerned about trying these tyres but I don't drive like a boy racer so I decided to give them a go I have been pleasantly surprised with the comfort and handling in both wet and dry and the grip has been very good There is some type noise but not too much

Writing about the Avon ZV3 given 79% (195-45-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
They are very good tyre. Good grip in both wet and dry conditions. Nevr had any problems with them so far.

Wee bit road noise at high speed but its not too bad.

Avon tyres are not sa bad as people make them out to be.

But remember they are budget tires so they will never be perfect.

Writing about the Wanli S1088 given 10% (225-45-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 easy going miles
You want to trust your life with these tyres read the reviws of an independent magazine. Pray you dont have to hit the brakes in the wet. Or the guy behind you has them on his car

While Maxxis showed promise, it’s not happy on wet roads. Chinese maker Wanli is way behind its rivals – you hope the car behind you on a busy, wet motorway is not on the S-1088.

The Goodyear’s problems were nothing compared to the Wanli, though, which yet again brought up the rear, a long way off the standard set by the rest. It took more than five metres longer to stop – a car’s length. That means when a vehicle with the Conti rubber has come to a halt, one wearing the Wanlis will still be doing 20mph-plus.

A long way back was the Wanli. This was not a pleasant drive, with the sheer dearth of grip triggering the anti-lock braking very early and pushing the car wide as soon as the throttle was touched. Wanli was four seconds slower than the next best make, and a worrying seven seconds behind the top tyre on the handling circuit.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU31 given 83% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 25000 easy going miles
Slightly softer than my last tyres but grip a lot better both dry and wet. Can't really argue for the price.
