Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S 285/35 R19 Alfa Romeo 4,000 miles April 30, 2026
the feedback feels vague, and you never quite know where the limit is. I found the same thing on a Cupra 290. Wear life does seem much longer than Continental SportContact 5s(Cupra) and Pirelli Zero Corsa(Gulia), though

Overall, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S is a much better tyre and generally feels safe at speed.

I’m looking forward to Pirelli making suitable sizes for the P Zero R and PZ5.

Pirelli P6 285/35 R19 Mercedes Benz SL500 1,000 miles January 21, 2026
Just got the 500 tyres 3 year old but plenty tread. I swear. I cant accelerate with any power. Think these tyres are trying to kill me. Changing them now

Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 285/35 R19 Chevrolet Corvette 1,500 miles December 3, 2025
I have had these tires on my ~575rwhp supercharged Corvette for a couple years and they perform very well. The car has a positive displacement supercharger so the boost delivery is instant and when the tires are warm they don't spin above 40mph even when stabbing the throttle. These tires have been nice for weekend cruising as well as spirited driving including Powercruise at BIR. Perform excellent in the wet, much more comfortable than run flats, and are quiet enough that I can't hear them over my exhaust. Very satisfied with the ECS 02

Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 285/35 R19 Chevrolet camaro 4,500 miles March 6, 2025
I have had these on my summer car for 2 seasons, and I have done some track work on them. They hold up great on track, they do well in the wet, and they are more comfortable than the Goodyears which came on the car.

Pirelli P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico 2 285/35 R19 Alfa Romeo Giulia QF September 9, 2024
Amazing grip, responsiveness. I just couldn't believe the immense grip that I can play with. I am sold with these two features. Regarding wet grip and handling not bad at all if there is a temperature in the tyre.
I tried to drift a little with a bold tyre during the winter in wet conditions, I became a passenger in my Giulia Quad :D
It's an amazing tyre for the summer.
The fronts lasted for 13k miles, the rears could last 3k miles or 9k miles depends on your driving style.

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 285/35 R19 Ford Mustang gt 4,000 miles June 27, 2023
I thought buying a big name brand I'd be getting a tire that would last more than 4000 miles. The rears are almost down to the indicator. These are on a mustang which has been babied since I got it,no burnout,no linelocks. Just normal driving. They are also horrible in the rain to the point that 40mph is all I will go on wet surface. The car is all over and it's not because it needs an alignment. Definitely will not buy again.

Accelera PHI 2 285/35 R19 Mercedes Benz SL350 12,000 miles June 29, 2022
Came with a SL350 with 317 bhp and rear wheel drive, bought in July 2021. So I have been through all four seasons of the UK and not really had any concerns. I was a little worried about the winter with these tyres having read the reviews here. I have had lot of mid-high power cars and always bought premium tyres. Unfortunately something is not right on car, likely it is just the 4 wheel alignment which has caused excessive inner wear on the rears. Resulting in an MOT failure and urgent purchase of two tyres to pass the MOT. I saw no point in paying for premium tyres until the set up of the car/alignment is corrected. So I bought two more of these Accelera. Apart from the wear on the extreme inner of the tyres the rest of the tread across all four is still very good and looks set to last more than another year with ease. What can I say, £90 vs £200-£300 a corner. My last two cars were £350 a corner. I can honestly say that the premium tyres are NOT £200 better at all. Within the local Porsche club I have a reputation for being one of the fastest drivers, competing even against GT3s, GT2s, Turbo and Turbo S 911s. Do I think these tyres are as bad as some people say here. Not at all. Do I drive the SL350 like I do the 911 on the track, no not at all. I've had a couple of moments of lost traction on these tyres, but nothing that was not immediately corrected by the car and nothing that has ever given me cause for concern. I have had far worse experiences with premium tyres on the 911 at £350 a corner than the Accelera have ever caused. Definitely worth the money. Are conti sport contacts/bridgestone potenza S1 worth so much more. I do not think so. Are the premium tyres better, yes undoubtedly, but not worth three times the price.

Nitto Invo 285/35 R19 Ford Mustang gt 18,000 miles March 7, 2018
I'll try another brand next time, for me it is not worth its value(Nitto Invo).
I have tried (Nitto 555) previously, it was better than (Invo).
