Volkswagen Passat B6 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 4 given 86% (215-55-16-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 15000 spirited miles
They are expensive, but at least they last for a very long mileage. They offer good grip in any road condition, as long as it is not snow/ice. I use them as winter tyres because seeing snow where I live is rare, and they perform decent in the cold (-5ºC/-10ºC aprox). In my case I drive them up to 205km/h (autobahn) no problem, my car does not go much faster. You can definetly push them around corners, but they wont give good feedback. Good wet handling, and very easy to recover after aquaplaning at highway speeds. Nice confort and quiet ride, would recommend for people looking for a nice tyre to do fast driving without getting in too much trouble. Definetly changing them for some pilot sport 5 or simmilar.

Driving on a combination of roads for 80 spirited miles
I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THESE TIRES TODAY AS MY CURRENT WINTER TIRES WERE RUN DOWN AND LIKE 13 YEARS OLD. (MICHELIN X ICE) GREAT TIRES BUT TOO EXPENSIVE. ANYWAY WHERE I LIVE THERE IS A WINTER WARNING AS WE JUST HAD FROZEN RAIN LAST NIGHT, THE STOVE HOME WITH THESE TIRES WERE PRETTY COMFY AND STOP RATING WAS PRETTY GOOD ALSO. THE ONLY THING CURRENTLY I'M NOT TO FOND OF IS THE TIRE FEEDBACK ON THE ROAD, JUST FELT LIKE I LOSE A BIT OF PERFORMANCE (I KNOW.... THEY ARE WINTERS BUT STILL, WITH THOSE MICHELINS I HAD B4 I DIDN'T)I JUST REALLY WANT TO SEE HOW THEY DO IN 10 TO 30CM OF SNOW SO I WILL DO AN ADDITIONAL REVIEW ONCE I GET TO DRIVE IN ALL THE TYPES OF WINTER DAYS WE GET HERE IN T.O. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW I GIVE THEM A TOTAL OF 5 OUT OF 10

Driving on a combination of roads for 71000 easy going miles
VW Passat 1.6 Estate '64 plate, changed front tyres at 35k miles, then changed all 4 at 71k, (so the rears had done 71k, amazing), hence the '10' rating for 'tyres lasting', mainly motorway (often with Daxara 198 trailer and getting 65mpg) & town commuting mileage

Writing about the Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 given 71% (235-45-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 18000 average miles
The grip is excellent on dry road, on wet is also good but felt a bit unstable. You can feel every dump and stone on the road, it's also noisy for me. They wear out very fast, I managed to use them 3 summers, less then 30000 km. Overall I felt it very responsive and excellent grip but noisy and does not last long. !!! Please consider this info as a my personal opinion based on my experience with these tyres, it is not a result of a testing process.
