Passenger Car Summer Max Performance Tyres Tyre Review Highlights
I've been ride my Michelin PS5 for almost 25k km, the treads having 75% left. But for my front tyres on my car, it starting to tear off on the inner shoulder (The inner steel belts can be look by eyes). Not sure what's happening on my DOT 3224 tyres (Now May 2026), probably aged or heated because of weather. But overall experience was pretty great.

2786 miles in now. I've driven in cold, icy conditions, 24 degrees April sunshine and heavy rain. I've driven on the motorway doing 200 mile journeys, b-road blasts and regular school run.<br />
<br />
These tyres are fantastic. They work when driven sensibly but at the speed limit in cold weather with 265bhp with no loss in grip or confidence.<br />
<br />
They ride speed bumps very well even with a hard, cup chassis.<br />
<br />
They stick incredibly in warm weather, minimum steering input, no understeer, the car and tyre combined can go faster than my ability or my balls could muster whereas the PS4S would slide in cold conditions.<br />
<br />
Fuel economy is great, getting 33mpg combined using Momentum 99 and Archoil fuel additive whereas the PS4S albeit in 19inch I was struggling to get into the 30s.<br />
<br />
I love these tyres. Absolutely love them. The front don't seem to show much wear, the rears even moreso.<br />
<br />
I usually swear by Michelin but these? Much cheaper and I'd argue better.

Continental Sport Contact 5
— rated 76%
while driving a SEAT Ibiza FR V 1.5 TSI EVO2 for 38500 miles
A very good stock Sport tyre, they lasted way beyond expected (62000km/7 years), rotated at 30000km (usually at 20000Km but forgot).<br />
The rears are perfect worn, the fronts have some dry rot in last months.<br />
<br />
I've been driving smoothly, only push them ocasionally on curvy, mountain and B roads. <br />
<br />
Very good handling in perfect roads, dry or wet, never failed, but too harsh besides that and scary on potholes, but it is a 40 profile and the car suspension is too hard too... I can feel everything on the road, anything, these tyres seem like a block.<br />
<br />
A little noisy and too pointy for me, could be more predictable and progressive at the edge and smoother to my liking. <br />
<br />
Hope the next ones will be Hankook Ventus Evo or Michelin Pilot Sport 5 (too expensive).

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<br />
<br />
Overall, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S is a much better tyre and generally feels safe at speed.<br />
<br />
I’m looking forward to Pirelli making suitable sizes for the P Zero R and PZ5.

Have these on my S2000, it has no traction control, so wanted a tyre with awesome grip. Finding it a very predictable tyre, fits an S2000 very well.<br />
<br />
Will be buying them again.

I’ve used them on the i20N and 208 GTI. They take a while to warm up, but once they do, the handling is fantastic. The compound is quite hard. This makes them a bit uncomfortable, but the durability is superb. They tend to slip a lot when cold. The performance in the rain is definitely poor. I had no complaints about noise levels. A top-tier tire for use in dry and hot weather.

These tires came as factory tires on my Audi A3. It’s a tire that takes a while to warm up. Once it’s warmed up, it grips well. However, even though it’s a 150 HP car, it tends to spin its wheels more than expected in 1st and 2nd gears. It can also exhibit understeer in corners. I’m not entirely sure how much of this is due to the car itself. I didn’t like its performance in the rain at all. It fell short of my expectations. Also not exactly a quiet tire.

BFGoodrich g Force Phenom TA
— rated 81%
while driving a Suzuki Swift Sport 1.4 ZC33S for 20000 miles
These BF Goodrich Phenom were in fact so much underrated that it suppose to be. I'm on the second set on these awesome rubbers!<br />
<br />
Dry grip is above my expectation with the correct setup of suspension and camber + toe setting, an ease of corner abilities by holding the car in each corner after corner. Sidewall is tough enough to support the weight transfer of the car during absolutely spirit driving.<br />
<br />
Wet performance is above average, they tend to grip well and doesn't prone to any aqua planning hazard, at least from my personal usage during heavy rain with puddles of liquid on road.<br />
<br />
Comparing against previous tyre, Yokohama Apex, Pilot Sport 5 and MC7, these tyre easily gain better performance than the rest any time, giving its price to performance.<br />
<br />
Only cons is that, road noise significantly loud after 50% tread life, well, its an UHP anyway.

Best Tyres I have ever driven on.<br />
<br />
The car was delivered with Bridgestone Potenza S001, I initially thought it couldn't get any better. <br />
When the tyres wore out all reviews pointed towards the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.<br />
<br />
For me the most noticeable difference was breaking in the wet. The 4Ss started breaking with no delay as if the road was dry.<br />
<br />
Always provided loads of grip regardless of road conditions (dry, wet, hot or cold) at any speed.<br />
Car was driven often on the German Autobahns at high speeds (exceeding 155mph), always loads of grip.<br />
<br />
Very comfortable tyres.

Specific version of tyre: Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport A0 (Audi spec)<br />
Conditions: Daily<br />
Replaced at: 22,500 km, rotated once at 7,000 km and a second time at around 15,000–16,000 km<br />
Immediate improvement over the P Zero PZ4 in terms of instant grip without requiring much tyre warm-up.<br />
Great feedback, great grip — the tyre never let me down.<br />
Only downside is less stiff sidewalls compared to the PZ4, though this could be due to it being an Audi spec compound.

Specific version of tyre: Pirelli P Zero PZ4 HN (Hyundai spec)<br />
Conditions: All + 1 track day<br />
Replaced at: 22,000 km, rotated once at 11,000 km<br />
When tires are warm — grip, feedback and progressiveness is excellent<br />
Low grade was given for "buy again" due to the tyre not working well at lower temperatures (spring) and needing time to heat up - for a daily tyre.

Outstanding wear. Used them on track a few times. They're a little bit soft on the front axle but otherwise an amazing fast road tire
