Passenger Car Summer Premium Touring Tyres Tyre Review Highlights
Very quiet and comfortable. Average wear. Very sensitive to bad roads and potholes and prone to damaging.<br />
At around 20.000 km and 2 years tread started being crunchy and flaky.<br />
It is sensitive to curb chafing and on three out of four tires nylon tread of the sidewall is visible.<br />
<br />
Overall grip is more than sufficient but tire is not very resilient.

I bought these tyres to replace an old set of Dunlops that were mounted when I bought the wheels these Ultracontacts are now mounted to. As my car only has 14 inch wheels, it's not easy to find tyres that aren't budget offerings (I live in Europe), but these were one of the few premium tyres I could get in the correct size. I drove on the (albeit old and lightly worn) Dunlops for about 2 months before replacing and the difference was immediately noticeable! <br />
<br />
These tyres are definitely way more than my almost 40 year old Mazda can handle, there are no issues with traction loss on the front wheels when powering out of tight corners in the dry (not a low bar to clear when the car has less than 75hp). They're a comfortable tyre for long distances, not very noisy and they absorb bumps fairly well, although I would subjectively rate the Hankook Kinergy's on my other car higher in comfort. Only in the wet do you start to notice the tyre struggle somewhat, but they always stay linear and predictable. I didn't have much issues when dealing with puddles at lower speeds as they are very predictable, but can struggle with aquaplaning when exceeding rural speeds. <br />
<br />
After a little over 5000 miles in the past year I still haven't noticed any differences compared to when the tyres were brand-new and they have only lost a bit of tread depth. I'm pretty sure I'll get at least a good 25k miles or another few years out of them before having to replace them, but I'd be happy to buy them again when the time comes!

Firestone Roadhawk 2 ENLITEN
— rated 90%
while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk7 1.6 TDI Bluemotion for 4800 miles
They are basically a Bridgestone Turanza T005 but with great rim protection, and maybe a little less tread depth but not even sure about that (look at the pictures). <br />
The point is: this was my best buy in tyres, period. Good price (85€ assembled), excellent result. They are amazing for touring (essentially comparable to a Premium Touring tyre) with great grip even in heavy rains (tested multiple times) and competent at high speeds in the dry (tested at 190 give or take). They feel very safe without any surprises. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommended!

Comparing to Michelin Energy Saver, these ones are not worse. The rubber quality is actually higher and wet handling potentially better. One thing for sure - they are quieter and I love that. Nice riding feel, planted, grippy enough and above all I feel they are safe. I have even provoked them in the snow (mixed with rain but even then) and had a really hard time losing control with them in the rear (hand brake and all). <br />
Price has raised since I bought them back in 2021 (paid 65€ for each assembled), but they still are great tyres.

Due to a blowout of both left tires caused by a pothole, I had to move the right rear tire to the left front and replace both rear tires.<br />
<br />
I chose Kleber Dynaxer HP5s because we have HP4s on our second car and we're happy with them.<br />
<br />
In this case, I'm quite disappointed. The difference in handling compared to the front Assymetric 6s is noticeable in terms of drift, and it's very apparent that the rear tires take too long to follow the behavior of the front tires, resulting in considerable imprecision at high speed. I think the main problem is that the sidewall is too soft compared to the GY tires.<br />
<br />
As soon as I can, I'll put four GY Assymetric 6s back on.

Tyres at 22k km. Wear is good, but the dry and wet grip performance dropped. Noise increases significantly especially on coarse road, it got that "roaring" sound keeps coming into the cabin. Current measured Db is at 70db to 71db on coarse road, previously is quieter at 66db to 68db. The cornering grip has dropped significantly, it has some wobbles and feels like throwing you out from the cornering line. Not having confidence in Turanza series, will not repurchase.

Very good on dry, comfort, noise and wear. Not so good on wet and aquaplanning.

Grip is definitely not really good, especially in the wet. Often got some wheel spin at the front wheel, which was concerning. The worst thing is tire wear, the front wheels were only 3.3mm left after only driven for 6500 miles.

At first when they were new, it was good. Feedback on dry was ok and on wet was ok. After 8 months of driving it got a worse, a lot.<br />
Front were left with 5mm<br />
And rear with 6mm of rubber<br />
I got them new on a new from factory Ford Kuga. Newer gonna buy EcoContact 6 after this experience.

these tyres are a liability in the wet. i do not feel safe with these tyres and about 20% into their usable life i'll be binning them and buying new ones. I can't understand how on earth these were fitted as oem tyres for the model 3.

OEM Tyres in my Ioniq 5, very good dry handling. I've done 40k miles, and I expect to do more 5k miles. In wet conditions, not so good...

It only lasted for 27000Km<br />
Gets noisier with age and does not perform well in the rain
