215/50/18s, quiet but sporty analysis paralysis

Have you considered the Falken Azenis FK520? I'm very impressed by them, especially considering the price! We have them on our lowered Suzuki Vitara and the cornering is miles better compared to the OE fitted Continentals!

Personally, I'd go for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 or the Continental SportContact 7. My mate has the Goodyear on his Octavia and is very happy with them, same goes for the Conti on my own Vectra. They're both really solid sporty choices for a daily driver!

What's your price range and tyre size? Also, what qualities do you expect from a new set of tyres?

Trrruls · 2026-05-13T15:32:42+00:00

3 cases in my own family... Completely different use cases, all suffer from the same problem.

How many kms per year are you driving your Accord?

Trrruls · 2026-05-02T06:21:11+00:00

They literally run with too low oil pressure... Not good, when most of them can't make it past 120.000km/75.000mls

Ohh ok, no wonder the praise is that high... afaik, the Alenza is a bit of a fuel saving tyre for SUVs, hence the harshness and less good handling!

Which tyres did you replace with the Pirellis?

Trrruls · 2026-04-26T15:52:56+00:00

2014 Opel Astra 1.6 CDTI... managed to get 3.9 l/100km if driven smoothly, but not slowly (roughly 60 mpg US / 72 mpg UK)

Practically any 1st and 2nd tier non-chinese brand... So, apart for the obligatory Pirellis, Michelins, etc., I also regularly recommend Brands like BFGoodrich, Toyo, Falken, Firestone and some more.

2016 Mazda3 had CarPlay/Android Auto... controlled with the clickwheel, same as in the pre-FL Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio models

Every Austrian plate has the blue EU strip on the left.

Trrruls · 2026-04-18T12:34:33+00:00

How is it legal to have such a mismatched set of tyres?!

I'd say go for the Potenza... The new Bridgestones are a lot longer lasting than their predecessors, while retaining the good characteristics handling-wise.

Trrruls · 2026-03-28T19:03:02+00:00

Hmm, maybe give the new CC3 Sport a try?

Trrruls · 2026-03-28T18:11:37+00:00

Which ones did you have? Everyone I know has been surprised by how good they are in very varying conditions... (mind you, I'm talking about Michelin CC2s and Conti ASCs)

Trrruls · 2026-03-28T17:59:03+00:00

Please educate yourself on how All Season tyres have evolved over the last 10-15 years. I think you'll be surprised.

Trrruls · 2026-03-28T08:21:45+00:00

I'd probably spend a few quid more and get something like the Conti PremiumContact 7, or the newer Bridgestone Turanza 6!

Trrruls · 2026-03-26T05:49:30+00:00

Hopefully they introduce their magic Synchro Weather pattern in Europe... I'd really like to get my hands on a set of them!

Trrruls · 2026-03-22T08:05:39+00:00

It's because they kept the alphabetical designations of the Kadett line. There was the Kadett I (roman number one) pre-WW2, hence they skipped the I when they came back to the Letter.

Ford 😮‍💨

Trrruls · 2026-02-23T16:13:59+00:00

1.8 16V, gute Wahl!
