245/35 19 Tyre Review Highlights
I have loved these tyres, but they just have not lasted very long. I doubt I'll get to 20k kms, which is a bit disappointing. This includes lots of daily work travel, a good handful of spirited drives in the outer hills (road legal speeds), and 1x hyundai track day at Winton Raceway in Melbourne Australia. Daily use does include various accelerations, but Im not too crazy all the time, but I do enjoy cornering...! Tyres have been regularly rotated and 3x alignments done, so well looked after. Pressures maintained. Track day was not as great as I hoped for these tyres. It was a fairly hot day, the tyres felt pretty soft in the heat with their handling, and just fairly good grip, some tyre roll too. They have felt grippier on the twisty roads than on track. On road they are amazing on a spirited drive, but I need a tyre to last longer for cost reasons mainly. Thinking Goodyear AS 6's next (hard to choose still...?)
Overall, I would buy again if they lasted longer, but I guess thats the price you pay with a tread wear rating of 240. fairly soft. Photo is during the track day, shame the crush rock car park surface makes it hard to see the wear.

Only driving to work on flat covered road including express road. One of new tyres got completely flat so had to get replaced only after driven 4 month (under 300km) of new car. Two front tyres completely worn out below legal limit with 25,000km. Absolutely rubbish in quality, and we feel A4 is lower in grade than other premium cars on the market.

Good grip, but too unresponsive for a "sport tire." Amazing in the wet/rain.
Great grip, but unfortunately, it falls too far into the comfort side of the spectrum. Too unresponsive for a tire that is "one of the best" sport tires.

I replaced the factory Micheling PSS with the SC7, after reading numerous reviews full of praise for these tyres, including some feedback from M2 owners that claim the SC7 has the same or better steering response than the MPSS. Well that is rubbish. Turn-in is good, yes, but the response is off - I can only imagine the sidewalls are softer than that of the MPSS. This, being a priority for me, ruined the handling of the car, and I threw them off and replaced with a fresh set of MPSS, not wanting to burn myself again. I would not recommend them to owners of M2 C that prioritise steering response over ultimate grip. If you can live with a slightly vague steering - then otherwise the tyres are great.

Good tire, the grip is good in all conditions (except in winter on snow because I haven’t tested that). I’m quite dissatisfied because the tire that came as the stock first installation on the Audi A4 45 TDI, 3.0 is unusually worn, where the inner edge is abnormally worn out. From the outside it’s not visible how much the tire wore down on the inside until it became unusable. I don’t know if the tire has such characteristics that it’s soft and that’s the reason, or if I drove with too low pressure (to be fair, I didn’t check the pressure very often), but the wear pattern is quite strange. With another set of tires (different manufacturer and different dimensions) I didn’t have such problems. As a tire itself, it’s okay.

Had the RS stamped ones as oe for my 2019 megane rs 300 trophy. Great on track and really suit the car working with the excellent chassis. Downside is very hard tyre with the already stiff ride and poor in standing water. Had to drive at 40mph on a motorway due to standing water as the car was aquaplaning. Fantastic if your "on it" but a bit much day to day

I drive this tire on an Alpina D3 F31 Bi-turbo Touring Allrad. This tire is okay in dry conditions and good in the wet. It’s the best I know when it comes to lateral grip on snow. With no other tire have I been able to corner so well and so quickly on snow. Everything else is also good. On my vehicle — even though it has all-wheel drive — the rear tires wear out twice as fast as the front ones. I have to replace the rears almost every year, while the fronts usually last about two years, depending on how much and how I drive. I would buy it again and have been doing so for years. Nothing else comes close to this one in terms of lateral grip on snow.

It's a good tire, as the dry grip was very good and the wet grip was okay. It handled well and allowed for sporty driving in dry conditions. However, the lateral grip on snow was disappointing. Everything else was fine. I did have a major issue with this tire, though: severe sawtooth wear. It got so bad that with just about 1 cm of fresh snow (you could still see the road underneath), I couldn't take corners anymore. I could only turn at walking speed. I ended up replacing the tire early. Never again.

I drove this tire on an Alpina D3 F31 Bi-Turbo Touring Allrad. It's a good tire in dry conditions, and especially impressive in the wet. I’ve never had a winter tire with such strong wet grip — it even rivals some summer tires. However, I was disappointed with its lateral grip on snow and ice. Everything else was good. Wear was acceptable, but due to the camber of my car, the tires wore down excessively on the inside — to the point where they tore and the internal reinforcement material became visible on the rear tires. I won’t be buying them again, mainly because of that issue and the lack of lateral grip.

About to replace these tyres after just under 15,000km. Very good tyres. Very sharp response, they're quiet, and the grip in the wet is surprising when new. Depending on power, you'll plant it thinking you'll light them up only to receive whiplash as they stick lol. Very nice quality wheels too, very little balancing needed based on how little weights were on the rim when fitted. They don't peel or scuff, they appear smooth and wear down over time. I had Potenza RE003 before these and these are way beyond them. Potenza are good in the dry but they were terrible as soon as it got a little damp. And they had such a delayed response and only lasted 8,000km. You get what you pay for with the Goodyear's. 490hp FG XR6 Turbo Sedan 2008 in rural New Zealand

Put these tyres on to replace some factory Dunlop run flats, which were horrible on the car, made a lot of noise and made the car scary to drive in the wet. These tyres were a great improvement on the Dunlop run flats. These tyres are great for the car when is it being used for daily driving. I have taken the car for one spirited run and the car handled great however there was minimal road feedback from the tyres, so I was unable to determine how much more I could push the car before hitting limits. The tyre is ideal for the purpose this vehicle is used for as it's not used for spirited "mountain/canyon runs" usually. As a daily drive to and from work, these tyres are nice and comfortable, quiet and provide great wear and fuel economy. If I was to use this car for more spirited driving, I would not be keeping these tyres on.
