Pneus 190/60 R15

C'est mon 2ème achat de ce modèle et ce pneu s'est avéré très bon, je conduis sur 01 'Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 ea2a 4g63 depuis 2007 jusqu'à maintenant (2020) et j'échange le jeu de conti contact 2 deux fois et c'est mon expérience: Très très bonne qualité, je vis dans un pays avec beaucoup de soleil et les pneus tiennent 5 ans et ont toujours de bonnes performances. Une bonne adhérence sur route sèche et mouillée, avec une route déformée, c'est OK mais pas le meilleur comme les pneus Kleber ou Goodyear, si vous conduisez sur une route lisse, c'est le meilleur pneu, l'autoroute est également une bonne conduite mais assez bruyante, même à basse vitesse (50- 60 kmh). L'usure est excellente et même après 5 ans, il y a encore beaucoup de fentes. après 2 échanges et 9 ans au total avec ce modèle j'aime changer pour plus de pneus confort, toujours dans mon pays toutes les routes ne sont pas parfaites et j'ai besoin de plus de douceur de roulement. Si dans mon pays il n'y avait pas de loi limite de 6 ans pour les pneus, je continuais à utiliser mon bon Conticontact 2. Merci Continental pour la fabrication de très bons pneus et je l'aime vraiment et je le recommande vraiment.

Le meilleur pneu hiver que j'aie jamais eu sur le tarmac sec, mais c'est tout. Le pire pneu hiver que j'aie jamais eu sur la pluie et la neige (j'avais des Michelin Alpin A2, GY UltraGrip 7+, Semperit Speed-Grip 2 auparavant). Glissement sur mouillée, presque pas de traction sur la neige, aquaplaining sur routes boueuses et fabriqué en CCCP. J'ai jeté ma voiture après une semaine dans des conditions hivernales et entre-temps j'ai reçu Dunlop Winter Response 2, je dois passer à mes pneus d'été GT Radial Champiro HPX, qui étaient meilleurs sur la neige et la gadoue que ce Nokian surestimé. Michelin Semperit et Dunlop étaient les meilleurs sur les routes couvertes de neige fondue, en raison de deux larges rainures autour et de larges rainures latérales. GY était également bon sur la neige fondante, mais un peu en retard. GY et Dunlop étaient les meilleurs sur la neige, mais Semperit n'était pas loin d'eux.

I have a 2004 Honda Civic 170i sedan. I previously had this set on my Company BMW (225/45/17) Got about 70000kms with the BMW. On the Honda - Close to 90000kms!!
Excellent tyre. Very good all rounder. Great value for money- Yes they can be pricey, depends where you buy it, But the long life span is definitely worth every penny.

Excellent in wet and dry. Low, if not no noise. Much better than the Goodyear Efficient grip that came with the car.

Imagine a date with a nice, cute girl who is easy-going, and makes you fell comfortable from the very first moment. And this date is getting even beter as the situation gets wet...
Okay, let's get a bit more scientific. If you're switching from a high-rolling-resistance tyre, the first thing you'll notice is how easy the car rolls on these Goodyears. Because of the hectic trips I've done on these I can't really tell how much fuel you can save, but I experienced a side effect of low rolling resistance: if you lift the throttle, the car won't slow as much as it used to, so brake wear will be higher as you have to use it more. It can be a bit annoying in town, but after you got accustomed to this, you will be able to think ahead.
And there are more good news: the grip limits are very high. You can throw the car into a corner at any reasonable (and even a bit more than reasonable) speeds whitout saying a little prayer before, and you will come out on the other end in one piece. And it applies to wet conditions too. These tyres grip like hell in rainy conditions. Considering that these are eco tyres, I believe miracles have happened when they designed them.
Other reviewers mentioned how comfortable these tyres are, and I strongly agree with them. The soft sidewalls do the trick well and make the ride very smooth which is useful if there are bad roads in your country. If you really like a plush ride, put them on a Citroën with hydropneumatic suspension (that's something I really would like to try).
Any drawbacks? Well, since nothing is perfect, there must be something. And there is. Because of the soft structure the road feedback is gone almost completely of the already not-so-communicative Astra. I wouldn't put these on a driver's car (by which I mean nothing more than a Ford Focus in this review). They soak up pretty much everything coming from the road, which is not always bad, but most of the time I miss the lost information.
A few reviews earlier someone with the same car with same tyre size said these tyres are good in terms of progressiveness, but I disagree. I believe the Firestone F700s I had earlier are better in this area (read my review if you want to). Even the 185/65 Dunlop Winter Response 2s (my winter set, you can read my review of them too) are better. Without the feedback I can't really feel when they are gone. Luckily the grip keeps you out of trouble, but if you want to find the limits, get your reflexes ready to get everything sorted again because it won't warn you when it gets too much.
Conclusion: if you want a tyre which has low rolling resistance, grippy and comfy, look no further, this is the perfect choice. But if you aren't looking for the travelling pleasure, but the driving pleasure, forget the EfficientGrip Performance. Would I buy them again? Well, I believe they suit the car well, and Rational Me loves them, but Petrolhead Me wants to get rid of them. To make peace, I'd chose the ContiEcoContact 5, and Dunlop's SP Sport BluResponse seems to be a good option as well, but I won't throw this set away. Instead I'll try to enjoy the benefits. And no, I didn't regret buying them, so they will go with the car (if they last long enough).

I wouldn't buy this crappy tyres ever again. Was using it because it came as OEM. Almost crash when I first wet brake them. Need to stay alert all the time.

Considering Gripping, cornering its an excellent tyres. But on other factors...its a looser..

My tyre dealer fitted a pair of these as he could no longer get the Goodyear NCT5 in my size. They don't inspire the same confidence as the NCT5. They grip well enough on very wet roads, but they are not so good on damp greasy surfaces. I've used Goodyear for years, but will be looking elsewhere next time.

Grip is average in dry conditions & has a tendency to break away suddenly when cornering.

In the wet, aquaplaning performance is average but grip is near non-existence when breaking....very dangerous.

In operation, it's unbearably noisy too

Stay away from these tyres.
