Passenger Car Summer Max Performance Tyres

What can I say that hasn't been said? I bought these to replace the dry rotted michelin pilot super sport. They're very similar in terms of performance, but to me the super sport felt a little sportier. The ps4s is a little more comfortable than the super sport. Ride is quite plush and quiet for a max performance tyre. It's also very good in the wet. I've never once experienced aquaplaning with them. One area where I think the ps4s is much better than the super sport is durability. I've had them for 7 years (yes, I know), and they still look like new, and I still have tons of tread left. My old super sport was quite worn and dry rotted by the 7th year. With that being said, I don't think the ps4s is a huge improvement over the super sport, which was already amazing. And price has skyrocketed in recent years, at least where I live, so even though I would easily recommend them if money is no object, I think I'll try another tyre in the future.

Bought a pair of these to replace a pair of Michelin PS4 on the rear of my Focus 1.5T. I have PS5 on the front.<br />
<br />
I chose these as they have strong reviews and there was a £60 difference to the PS5 (£89 each at time of purchase)<br />
<br />
First thing I noticed is they are alot quieter on the motorway than the PS4's have ever been. The rear grip is predictable and stable in wet, and no quarms at

At the end of the it was noisy but iz maintained dry and wet grip good, a little bit uncomfortable also.

These tires came with the new car in 2016 they have been every thing I would hope for on a sports car , I have not raced the car but have done my share of fun driving , It sticks to the road like its on rails. Have not had any other tires on this car but need to get new ones this summer. These are runflats, not sure if I will get the runflats again but had no trouble with them . Most of the time the car was used in warm sunny weather with the top down, and some cooler nights and some wet weather as well no snow and or ice ever. never on gravel just paved streets and highways. Mostly driving at posted speed limits that very from one place to another.

6500 miles in, driving a mix of A and B roads mostly very wet with a lot of standing water and sometimes mud. Tyres grip well in all the conditions I have experienced so far. The economy so far is good 3.9mkwh in the cold and I think the they are a good choice of tyre for EVs at a good price, I would replace them with the same when the time comes.

I own a Hyundai i30 N Performance, which I use very frequently both in the city and at Track Days, and these tires really need to be properly understood.<br />
The Pirelli P Zero HN is not a tire that gives you 100% grip from the moment you start the car, regardless of weather or ambient temperature. This is a tire that needs TEMPERATURE. It has to be warmed up to become truly grippy, and on public roads it is very difficult (almost impossible) to consistently bring it into its optimal operating window.<br />
In my opinion, this is an excellent tire for learning proper driving technique. It does not forgive mistakes—when you make a technical error, you will feel it immediately. For this reason, I consider it very good for track training, where feedback and precision matter most.<br />
On the street, it can be a good tire only if you manage to heat it up; otherwise, grip is limited.<br />
The sidewall is very stiff, allowing you to take corners at high speeds without feeling the tire flex or the sidewall deform under load.<br />
In wet conditions, however, performance is poor. In heavy rain or on roads covered with slime or grime, I strongly recommend significantly reducing speed, as grip drops dramatically.<br />
<br />
Durability:<br />
Despite frequent spirited driving, the tire lasted around 30,000 km, while also completing approximately 150 hot laps on track. Considering the level of abuse and heat cycles, wear was reasonable for a performance-oriented tire.<br />
<br />
An important point: I chose to buy this tire again because I understand how it works and know how to take advantage of its strengths. Once you learn its limits and how to use it properly, it delivers exactly what it promises.<br />
<br />
Conclusion:<br />
✔️ Excellent on track<br />
✔️ Great for improving driving skills<br />
✔️ Very stiff sidewall, strong cornering stability<br />
✔️ Predictable when in the correct temperature window<br />
❌ Requires heat<br />
❌ Poor wet performance

These tires are awful. There's no sense of control, they don't transmit any feedback about the road surface. On dry roads, they lose a lot of grip during acceleration (my car is 150 hp).<br />
In the wet, well, I haven't had any close calls, but given how they feel on dry roads, you're not going to push them in the wet.<br />
The lifespan is very poor; after 12,000 km, the traction drops significantly. I would never buy them again. They're supposed to be high-performance, but they feel like cheap Chinese tires.

seats vibrate at high speeds 120KMH and above, would not recommend these tires for luxury SUV

Have a nearly new BMW X3 on these tyres. Horrible road noise on all but silky smooth roads. I am swapping for another brand at my cost to alleviate this issue. These tyres do give good handling but it seems noise and comfort were never considered !!!

Great, always sticky to the road, wet, dry, highway, city. Quasi eternal: already 4 summer, about 40.000 miles (maybe more, I don't track precisely) and they are still good for at least 1 more season. They manage perfectly the acceleration of my model 3.<br />
They are a bit noisy but nothing annoying, btw, it is sensible only on highway. They consume a bit more than A economy tyres: my real highway autonomy in summer is 450 km, people with same car and michelin primacy EV manage 500 km (Europe highways: 120 to 130 km/h).<br />
For me, the long life, the grip on heavy rain definitely worth those minor inconvenience, safety first.<br />
When I will have to finally replace them,I will try goodyear F1 eagle, which seems to be in same league, but consume a bit less.

In the dry these are good tyres, in the wet they are mediocre. This makes sense as they are classed as summer tyres however everywhere that lists these tyres has them rated as A for wet weather.<br />
In the wet they grip still and handle well enough however they perform the best when it comes to aquaplaning. When it comes to dispercing water they sre absolutely terrible. They feel like if someone were to spill there coffee then you wouldn't stand a chance! Good for the summer however if it rains hard your better off walking.

These tyres replaced a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5's.<br />
Early indications show that the Kumho's offer more grip, better feel, are quieter and generally give more confidence over the PS5's.<br />
I rarely review products but these Kumho's have genuinely surprised me. Great product at a fantastic price-point, well done Kumho!
