SEAT Leon ST 1.5 TSI · 225/45 R17 · 48 280 km
★★★☆☆

<p>Switched to Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 225/45 R17 94 W XL. Much better traction and breaking in wet, slightly better on snow, higher rolling resistance, higher wear -but worth it.</p>

Hyundai Ioniq · 205/60 R16 · 48 280 km
★★★☆☆

<p>Overall disappointed this time round with the newer version, I found the snow performance to be poor compared to continentals all seasons I have used before. Being a front wheel drive EV has caused slippage pulling out of junctions I presume to how narrow the tyres are along with the lack of grip, they have lasted over 30k on the front and the rears still have a lot of life left in them. Think I will look for a more summer based all season tyre this time round since UK snow is few and far between.</p>

BMW BMW X1 · 225/45 R17 · 8 851 km
★★★★☆

<p>Had these fitted 3 years ago and since then done roughly 5500 miles. Not a lot of mileage, but then that's because of my circumstances. (I'm retired and don't do the 1200 mile round trips to and from the continent, 6 times a year. Michelin have been my go to car tyre, since I first had the MXL and MXT on my Volvo.)
The wear has been negligible, gone from 7 mm new to about 6.5 mm today.
Haven't had any snow to speak of here in the UK, but a bit icy one or two days.
Last Christmas went to stay up country, mostly motorway, a trip of 130 miles or so. Not far but the rain was horrendous, it didn't stop at all, roads were flooded and the spray evil. We returned two days later and got similar weather, torrential rain all the way back.
The tyres were great, never thought for one moment that I would loose control. They're quieter than the previous Turanza, which I never thought were safe when cornering, especially in the wet.</p>

Tesla Model Y Long Range · 275/40 R19 · 24 391 km
★★★★☆

<p>Grippy tires compared to the OEM Continental ProContact Rx, it feels a bit more softer than the oem tires on turns, it leans into the turns softer while the ProContact Rx felt more sharper and planted in turns. I don't feel completely comfortable driving in the rain with the CrossClimate2, they evacuate water good in a straight line and I can drive fast confidently without worry of hydroplane, however, braking and turning gives me anxiety in the wet. Winter weather is phenomenal, you can easily save yourself during a slide downhill. Will plow through snow 6 inches deep. Will easily accelerate at a green light with ease during a snow storm without sliding. I do not notice any noise difference. Occasional hum when you first get the tires. Decrease of 5% in range due to tread pattern and choice of wider wheel set. 275/40/19 wider tire size has prevented curb rash when parking.</p>

Tesla Model Y Long Range · 225/45 R17 · 48 280 km
★★★☆☆

<p>Compared to Continentals which I had in Passat and T6.1. they wear much faster, but probably this is due to the Tesla weight and power.</p>
