Les meilleurs pneus pour la Mazda 626

Les pires pneus de tous les temps. Monter une colline modérée sur le mouillé à 55 km/h constant et commencer à ralentir. Je suis passé à la vitesse supérieure et je me suis demandé ce qui se passait. Les pneus n'avaient pas assez de traction sur sol mouillé pour monter la pente à une vitesse constante. Ma fille a eu un accident avec eux. Capacité de freinage pratiquement nulle en descente douce sur sol mouillé (les freins avaient été vérifiés 3 jours auparavant). Sur le sec, sur le tarmac à joint chaud, l'embrayage a dû glisser pour éviter le crissement des pneus / la perte de traction. Le véhicule était une Mazda 626 manuelle de 2,0 litres. Pneus piège mortel absolu. Une fois le véhicule réparé, les pneus ont été retirés et remplacés par des Pirelli P7 Cinturato qui sont absolument brillants en comparaison et n'ont montré aucun des problèmes des Dunlops. N'ACHETEZ JAMAIS CES PNEUS

Mon premier pneu Eco et de cette expérience, je crois que mon dernier, au moins pour un moment. Alors que la résistance au roulement est sensiblement réduite et que la voiture décélère plus lentement lorsqu'elle roule vers les feux de signalisation, il semble y avoir beaucoup trop de compromis, au moins dans cette itération, pour cette résistance au roulement plus faible qui, dans mon cas, se traduit par une économie de carburant d'environ 2 à 3%.

La conduite est un peu plus dure que tous les autres pneus «touring» que j'ai eu, et l'adhérence sur sol mouillé, en particulier le freinage sur des surfaces humides, est assez lamentable. De plus, cette mauvaise adhérence sur sol mouillé n'est pas compensée non plus par une faible usure, et il semble que je n'obtiendrai que mes 20 km moyens de mon set ("tourné" d'avant en arrière une seule fois). L'usure est cependant uniforme et les pneus conservent bien leur équilibre.

Du côté positif, les pneus sont silencieux sur toutes les surfaces et adhérent et se manient plutôt bien sur le sec. Et ils étaient à un prix raisonnable.

Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de penser que l'un des pneus de tourisme (non Eco) que j'ai utilisés sur cette voiture aurait surpassé ce TEO Plus dans TOUS les aspects, en augmentant simplement leur pression de 10% par rapport aux recommandations. J'avais définitivement attendu plus de Toyo.

Great winter tyres, on dry these Yokohamas are like summer tyres, grip is excellent. On wet there is no problem, even a few cm of water was not a big deal but that was not with highway speed, up to 80kmph. Snow traction is great, no problem in deep snow but I had only one trip on snow in town so it is hard to say how good they are on snow.
They are comfortable, but should be better. Will buy again definitelly.
Thread pattern is similar to Continental, but I like this one more :D.

I bought these tyres because they won most tyre tests. I was verry happy with them when they were new. Good grip on dry and wet, I was able to go faster then other cars when heavy rain (but that may be in drivers heads or tyre size and not the actual tyres).

Every year, with depth of the tread going down, they were worse and worse. They got hard every year. Fifth year, they were worse then my winter tyres in spring when I changed tyres. They had about 4mm tread. So the more you drive, the worse the tyres get.
They were pretty expensive (comparing to others in this size) so I expected more from them.
Last year, I got puncture when I accidentally drive over hidden curb, sidewall was destroyed - 10 holes on outerside, 3 on innerside. Maybe my fault, but I got worse accident with different and older tyres (on old car) without problem.

Won't buy again, for me, Continental makes tyres for tests, tyres changes a lot with years and wear.

My first Toyo tyres and not the last. I switched to these Toyo tyres after Continental ContiPremium 5. Conti were great, but every year worse and worse.

Tyres feels glued to the road on dry and wet conditions. I was too fast in one curve, which was sharper then I expected and I believed that I will slide but the tyres hold me on the road.
Sidewall is too soft, I can feel it during faster cornering but that means they are comfortable. Harder sidewalls a little and loosing some comfort would be better. Soft sidewall also means longer reaction when turning the steering wheel.
I have no problem with the tyres during heavy rain on highway with 130km/h speed, they feels safe on wet. No problem with braking on dry or wet. I think that they brake on wet much better then Continentals.

Wear is not visible yet, but I am low on mileage so no problem for me if wear too fast, I will have to change to new tyres after 4 year if weared to 3mm or 6mm.

No sliding the wheels during fast starts - kickdowns. I had a lot of these, usually on wet with Continentals..

Made in JAPAN.

Absolutely brillant! After 10000 miles tyres still keep the comfort. Wet and dry drive is excellent. I used them in snowy road and surprisingly good at snow. I will but it again or try next model.

Dangerous on wet roads. Wheel slip on our Mazda 626 front wheel drive car

We need to drive slowly and use our other car if it rains. Don't buy, we need to replace them even though they are not worn out. Bad idea, was not helped by the tyre retailer.

The fronts lasted 19000 miles backs 35000 in fact still going when car was scrapped. I found the handling to be good but then i,m no boy racer. As with so many things in life tyres are a compromise. The compromise of a hard compound tyre such as Mechelin energy is some loss in grip. That why bike sports tyres are dual compound If i had a Mazda mx5 and not a 626 family saloon i would not buy Mechelin energy tyres. However because (in order of priority) i value safety comfort longevity and economy these tyres are the ones for me. And I think tread pattern can only do so much to improve handling. So as for Price per mile Michelin energy tyres just can't be beat. Boy racers these tyres are not for you!
