Passenger Car Summer Max Performance Tyres

I live in NYC. Summer just started so I bought a fresh pair of 4s. So far i really like them. compared to my OEM Dunlops, these are far better. The car feels like its gliding on the road. When I take the usual tight highway curve going to my home, i can push the car 20mph over what i normally do and still maintain full control. i feel like i can push the car even hard but for safety reasons i will not. So far. I really like them.<br />
<br />
Only catch is that I read that the tread life on these are not good. Maybe ill crossover to the Pilot Sport 4 instead of the 4S. If you have a sports car and like to have the best of everything, i def recommend these 4S.

First time using 4's, normally have just the sport 4. Very impressed even in the cold and damp, once they have a bit of temperature they are really responsive. Very long life for a uhp.

It’s been 1 year & 11.000 km of use, for me it’s a 100% recommended tyre. <br />
They give nice feedback & feeling to the wheel. They grip exceptional in dry & wet conditions, you have to try a lot to find their limit. They have a quiet rolling & of course they wear fast as a sport tyre should do (the last 2 photos is the difference between front & rear wear after 11.000km). Personally I am a Pirelli pzero fan but since I didn’t have the choice of them at my dimensions I had to choose something else & now I can definitely say that I would buy Goodyear again

Wow! what can i say, I bought these tyres based on Tyrereviews tests and reviews. I had the Michelin Pilot 4 prior to these. I tend to do a mix of city and highway driving. The first thing i ve noticed is that turn in to corners has improved significantly. In fact, it took a couple of weeks for me to readjust my steering inputs, as i didn't need to turn the steering as much into corners. It made the car feel more agile. Grip is at least on the same level as the Michelin. It feels a little firmer in ride comfort but their isnt a big difference overall. On motorways I noticed that the Goodyears' are also quieter as well, which i wasn't expecting. Overall these are a big step up on the the Michelins as they seem to feel significantly sportier. Im very happy with these tyres. Thanks Tyresreviews!

Verry good grip (even on negative temps)

I have driven these tires for about 500km now. i had the ps5 before. I noticed that these tires understeer a lot with a fwd car with a heavy nose 59/41. No matter the setup of the car, the tires wont bite at the front like the ps5 did. They were good for road use, but after 30 mins of driving at a low speed track (max 120kph) the tread looks horrible and I dont think they will last even a year, they understeer a lot under the weight of the nose. I have driven the same track with the Ps5 2 years ago, the balance was neutral with the occasional oversteer. With these tires, I cant even make the car oversteer if I'll try my best, even if I up the rear pressure to 3.1 bar. Just understeer. On the road they work well, they have a lot of straight line traction. They work especially wel in the rain, but they cant handle hard driving. Unlike my ps5 tires that lasted 50.000km. Will be putting SC7 or PS5 on the front axle as these are able to handle a heavy nosed fwd car

scary ..... dry / wet .... it doesn't matter ..... loose control of steering even at slow speeds ..... <br />
forced to buy new tires .... to avoid accidents !!!!

I've these tyres originally with my car, front size 245/40R19 and rear size 275/35R19. I've driven them for a bit above 15k miles (25k km) and I'm now changing them due to age (DOT year 2019) and not tread dept. During their age, I've not seen any meaningful degradation of their road presence - grip, breaking, handling, etc.<br />
The majority of their life they have been driven calmly and not sporty. I've not went on motor track to bring them to the limit, though they have seen a couple of times a good, hot summer spirited driving.<br />
They stick well on the dry and on the wet, I have never had any issues with the grip, over/under steering or aquaplaning.<br />
My only issue with these tyres is noise and comfort. My winter tyres are 245/45R18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 and with them I'm driving a totally different car.<br />
With the GoodYear I'm sitting on the tarmac and feeling and hearing every little pebble.<br />
I wanted to change them with PremiumContact 7, but unfortunately on this sizes only "sport" tyres are available. <br />
I was thinking to put SportContact7, but then the Pirelli PZ5 came out of factory and won every test, so now I'm looking to put these. Once I've some miles on them will leave a review as well. Hopefully, they will be more comfortable than the GoodYear.

My first impressions so far. Good grip with surprisingly dialed in initial steering response. As with all street tires, when turning aggressively, you can feel the tire “load up,” meaning it does become a bit vague in steering feedback at that point. It’s a fairly compliant tire that is very easy to drive quickly on, which is probably my favourite part. I have not used it in the rain or on track yet, so I'll update with a mid life review then.

Very early impression, used as a track tyre on my modded MX-5 done about 50 laps at Bedford Autodrome GT layout, as well as to and from the track. Fun track tyres, great handling feedback and direct steering feel, plenty of grip when push and stable through corner. Track performance much improved overall compared to the PS4 previously which was quite snappy at limit.<br />
<br />
Not driven in the wet yet so cannot comment on wet performance. Not driven enough to comment on wear but seems decent after 50 laps. <br />
<br />
Road noise is louder, and side wall is stiffer compared to PS4, maybe by ~10%. <br />
<br />
Would recommend, especially if you can get them on a deal. I paid £330 for 4 corners fitted from National Tyres, April 2026.

Initially, very comfortable, deep, thick sound over bumps and potholes, if you imagine what luxury would feel this is it. Grip is good of course, but the handling is questionable. At first, it feels like the car won't make the turn but then it follows up nicely, pretty elegant in that regard but will take some time getting used to, whereas the asymmetric 6 feel a lot more linear when turning, although more mushy (different car though). I'll probably do a second review after the breaking in period. Big con is the noise, it is pretty noisy tire but the sound is low frequency and higher amplitude, on higher speeds that is, under 100kmh - barely noticable. The sidewall design is very beautiful but I'd like a little more curb protection. Overall it is a good tyre, i just wish it was a tad more precise and quick to respond... I think the asymmetric 6 would be a better buy, it is more affordable, as comfortable, driving dynamic is better and has good fuel economy. If michelin makes the pilot sport 5 a tad quieter with less rolling resistance it can be sold as a primacy.
