I need help choosing between these tires: Nokian wetproof- Turanza t005 - Dunlop sport bluresponse. Thanks
I'd be looking at Nokian VS Bridgestone and trying to find a test they've both been in!
Hi, thanks for the advice. After looking at the tests, I think I choose bridgstone. Unfortunately Nokian wetproof has a very bad result to the rolling resistance.
Is there a mistake? The Bridgestones got equal 1st place for noise with the quietest reading, but had 'noise' as a negative?
without revisiting the original test, it could be a mistake, or it could be the difference between external and internal noise. Check out other tests to see how they do.
This is a bit depression - for me there is no outright winner they all have apparent serious weaknesses. But the Roadhawk looks like a good all rounder.
OK So I am Flummoxed. My Size is actually 195/55/16 V91 I have worn Conti PC5 and want something different maybe a little better on wear and much the same Wet and Dry performance (Bit quieter would also help!) - Just a very few Summer tyres will give a little grip in the snow - that would be a bonus (Falken ZE 915; Maxxis HP5) I have a medium short list but going around in circles!! :- Dunlop Blue Response; Hankook VP3; Vredestein Sportrac 5; Maxxis HP5; Poss Bridgestone T005 - but stopping in the wet concerns me. Any suggestions - (Seat Ibiza 2017)
Well, none of those will give particularly great snow grip!
I'd probably aim at the T005 as it's been testing relatively well in the smaller sizes.
Thanks. No I agree about summer tyre snow grip - non are like a winter or an all season - but a few are a lot better than others and some are especially useless in the snow. In this country most of us cannot afford to buy a complete spare set of Winter tyres on the off chance of a day or two of snow... I will look again at the T005 I was just concerned also of soft tyre walls when I saw some and also they are more noisy. Any tyre will be a compromise though.
