Volkswagen Passat B5.5 1.9 TDi 130bhp highline Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 given 84% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
Today i replaced my Hankook ventus prime 4 with my first set of all season tires,the Conti ASC2,and i share my first impression.
The hankook ones were 91v and the conti ones are 94v, but still the conti feels significantly softer even with 0.2 bar extra pressure, something that I like, it makes the car more comfortable. They are silent. The steering is not as sharp as with Hankook's and the braking has a different feeling, but being a compromise solution it seems ok to me. Clearly they are not very sporty, but they are very pleasant to drive. At 15 degrees, dry, the grip is surprisingly good

One of the best tyres i have driven. Very good handeling and grip on all surfaces. Braking with this tyres is outstanding. I drive them for 3 seasons and they still got it.

A very good tire from Hankook. Very good in all weather conditions and on all surfaces. Very stable on dry and wet surfaces. Very good and stable on snow.

I just think these tires should not be legal. Awful performance in the corners and braking, both dry and wet

Driving on for 2000 miles
Desperately noisy at anything above 15mph. I bought the car and it came with these tyres - the noise is an atrocious whirring hum and builds to a deafening racket at 60 to 70 mph, despite the tyres being almost new ( less than 2k miles). Rotating the tyres is all positions has not improved the noise. A friend commented that the frequency was that of a Rolls Royce Trent aircraft engine at take off power - I couldn't disagree.

Great tyre, a little loud (same as conti premium contact), good grip on dry and wet, you feal what the car is doing. It seams that the tyre is doing that, what Hankook promises for the Ventus Prime 3.

Writing about the Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde given 86% (195-65-15-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
These tyres came fitted to the car when I bought it. They had only around 2,000 miles on them so you might just say they were run in. What a tyre! In the wet I would struggle to get them to spin. Cornering was second to nothing I'd ever experienced before. Wear was excellent I took them off at 12,000 as I was upgrading to 18" alloys. They still had 6.5mm tread remaining at that stage. Very safe tyre.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 given 83% (225-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Bought these tyres for my upgrade 18" alloys. Dry grip and wet grip was excellent but after 10,000 miles I find the wet grip has deteriorated ever so slightly. Wear is average with around 4mm left on the front and 5.5mm on the rear. Happy enough with the performance of the tyre but I think next time I may opt for a tyre with as much performance values only with a little longer wearing life.
