The tyres perform well on the rocky South West rural roads.

Michelin Primacy 3

Ameya Durber

Far superior grip in the wet.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3

Teresa Griffith

Extremely good performance while driving on ice and snow, such as during ski trips to the Alps, and still very economical on the fuel consumption in normal driving conditions.…

About these reviews

Tyre reviews recording 245/55 R17, across tyre brands and tread ranges. Each review identifies its tyre range.

5/5

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3

They maintain a nice balance when driving through big puddles.

4/5

Bridgestone Turanza T001

I immediately noticed an improvement and felt more confident working on my car.

4/5

Continental Winter Contact TS870 P

Performed well when it was snowing, however, they are noisier than ordinary tyres and increase fuel consumption when driving in normal conditions.

5/5

Michelin Primacy 3

Reliable every time. Top quality tyres are essential for a top quality vehicle.

4/5

Goodyear Eagle F1 (Asymmetric 5)

That's great, but I have sold the car since then.

5/5

Bridgestone Turanza T001

Excellent tyre. Extremely quiet. Great grip/performance on wet roads. Great grip/performance on dry roads. Highly durable.

5/5

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3

Great grip in every situation, although they could be a little less noisy when driving.

5/5

Goodyear Eagle F1 (Asymmetric 5)

They are quiet while driving, and because they are extra load rated, they cope with potholes and rough areas quite well.

5/5

Michelin e.Primacy

These tyres provide a comfortable ride, perform well in the rain, and corner exceptionally.

5/5

Bridgestone Turanza T001

The manufacturer recommends this tyre for this model, which works exceptionally on my VW Beetle. The tyre performs reliably in all weather, could not be more satisfied.

245/55 R17 tyre sizes fit taller 17-inch wheels for larger SUVs and light vans. The numbers indicate that these tyres are 245 millimetres wide. The 55 in the size indicates the sidewall height is 55% of the 245 millimetre width, meaning it is 135 millimetres. R17 indicates that it is a 17-inch size radial tyre. This makes the overall diameter of the tyre 701 millimetres. We sell 245/55 R17 C-marked tyres at Tyres.co.uk.
