I've run the 195/55R15 to the end, I love the sporty style, and here's what I'll say:
Pros:
+ Aquaplaning and wading through water, even with 50% wear, goes on great.
+ The tread is quite soft, eats less potholes.
+ I've driven a few times in the village on mud, clay, etc. it went very well.
Average results:
^ A bit noisy tire.
^ Brakes

Yesterday I put the tires on... the first emotions - sheer excitement and that's it. Riding through the courtyard at night, all I could hear was the engine, as if the car wasn't moving. I fitted 225/45 17 at the front and 245/45 17 at the rear. It grips the road wonderfully, doesn't make a peep, swallows small potholes and cracks like they're nothing - places where I used to swear at terrible roads, now

Excellent summer tyre, holds excellently in corners without slipping at good speeds, hit a 100km/h bump and had to steer the disc, the tyre blocks became square, but there were no marks or damage on the tyre! Ford C-MAX 2,0 TDCI 2007-2010

Not much to say yet.
I was fitted with 225/60/16 tyres.
Balancing on five-year-old rims was good, around 10-30 grams.
The steering response was sharp (as sharp as it can be on such a profile).
I didn’t pay attention to noise, so can’t rate it. This is probably for audiophiles only. But I can say that I can hear Continentals in the winter, but these- Vehicle:

They justify themselves to their price slightly more than fully. Drying roads are simply excellent. It seems like they should have already skidded, but no - they continue to dig into the road.
The wet road is not much different from the dry one.
Deep puddles are not liked. I dive into each puddle like into a brick wall.
I have driven only one season. The tire is still alive and kicking.
Quite quiet. Even the scream- Vehicle:

I recently purchased these and couldn't help but leave a review. Size: 195/65/15. Grips the road perfectly. When cornering, I turn the steering wheel even further, and the car leans, while the tire doesn't even make a peep. Whichever is your style, I find it really scary driving fast through a turn to see if I can slide out of control. A city is still not a place for experimentation. Traffic is intensive. I haven't tried

I bought Iskra tyres in size 185/55/15 based on reviews on this website. To be honest, the tyre is a fairy tale! I didn't expect it to be so good! I was looking for a quiet tyre with a strong sidewall, as the profile is not high. The tyre fully met these expectations! I drove at -3 (I changed to new shoes too early) and it behaved predictably and didn't slip, although I was driving carefully. As

Bought at discount, was the non-standard size. Began to break-in, was surprised - cost 400 rubles more than the Cam, and behaves better than the Bridgestone, Michelin and many others. At speeds up to 170 km/h responds to any steering wheel movement, the car goes like on the rails. Puddles on the road and wet asphalt almost do not affect the handling. Plus - the best tire of all those I drove, and that's a lot

The tyre leaves a mixed impression, on the one hand, a good price-to-performance ratio, on the other hand, a strong tendency to uneven wear, in rainy conditions, the drive wheels skid up to 80 km/h already, 270 horses and 580 Nm at the rear axle are not to be underestimated. For less powerful vehicles, I think it will be suitable, but for powerful ones, you should not be stingy and buy Continental or Michelin, which I will do

Excellent tires for the price, let's not kid ourselves - you won't be driving through a puddle at 150 km/h on this tire, but it will handle moderate puddles at 120 km/h. Also, good on wet roads. No squeals or noises on dry asphalt, good traction, quiet and moderately soft. In summary, I would recommend these tires.
