Been driving in these for almost 20k miles. Exceptionally well treadwear, grip and dry/wet performance compared to yoko es32 or gt ae51 which i tried before this. Also very low resistance, got better fuel average when shifted from a yoko 185 to this at 195. Drove this on fast highways, streets traffic jams and broken pavement fill of potholes and rocks. Despite having pretty decent grip they don't puncture at all on rough surfaces or broken roads. Only downside is the lack of feedback and a little floaty feeling on my setup.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.
How long do tyres last on the Honda City?
Across 14 end of life reviews from Honda City drivers, a typical set of tyres was worn out after 31,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 12,500 miles and 35,000 miles.

What Honda City drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Perfect budget tyre, which is quite good in both dry and wet grip. However is quite noisy and harsh ride in my opinion.
Coming from Michelin Primacy, I have doubts when choosing Hankook VP4 (I've never tried Hankook before, this is my first time.). Surprisingly, it delivered exceptional performance with half the price of Michelin Primacy. The ride is quiet and smooth and absorbs the road vibrations pretty well. On wet condition, it performed better than Michelin Primacy as Michelin Primacy loses grip on wets and been aquaplaning a lot. The only reason I disliked about VP4 is the wear, it wears out pretty quickly (I am nearing 25,000kms). But with a competitive pricing and great performance, I can kinda accepts the wear issue. I would definitely recommend VP4. As of now, I would wait for VP5 in the hope that they would fix the wear issue while improving the performance of the tyre.
worst quality tyre. I got my tyre changes after 6.5 year of car purchase and unfortunately I bought goodyear tyre for the change. Now I am in a situation to replace the tyres within 2.5year of purchase with only 20-25k Km running. Every few days, one of the tyre gets punctured these days and I am really struggling. Company is not accepting the quality issue and says that 2 out of 4 tyres are worn out more than 60% so they will not change the tyre. Just within 2.5year with only 20-25km running over this period, i need to buy new tyres. that's crazy, pl don't buy goodyear tyre.
XM2+ as advertised hard compound which is longer lasting, tyre tread still in great condition after 17k km mileage
Wet grip very good, Highway maintain same highspeed on dry & wet, disperse water very well, no Aquaplaning
Good Dry & Wet grip, even its hard compound its very grippy, able to take corner at higher speed
Used a thinner sidewall ratio, slightly bumpy but very good stability & handling

Used this for my Honda City (205/45/17) low profile.
Pros:
1. Grip is excellent and I feel confident with my car.
2. Sidewall appearance looks sporty
Cons:
1. BIGGEST CONS is it’s soft compound so it’s not durable at all. Chipped my sidewall easily when hitting a curb at very low speed ~10km/h and had it replaced (3years 30000km).
2. Quite noisy in my opinion with the low frequency sound from the road

Overall an excellent tire. Occasionally stones get stuck in the grooves and it being a softer compound, the groove is damaged a bit. But this is a very miniscule issue.
low noise compare to my stock tyre
super grip during my sharp corner
super cheap compare to branded competitor

super cheap compare to branded competitor
Used the 195-65-15 size on my Honda Coty 2016 in Pakistan as first change from Dunlop SP Sport which did great job of 70,000 kms..... the tire changed the way I felf before with reduced road feedback, low noise and better Road grip ..... did well on all sort of terrain in clouding hilly driving with snow covered roads, rough patches, big holes and broken roads, long journeys of upto 3000 km at a stretch ..... but they never failed me ..... still using them and are Road worthy even after 50k ..... will buy again ..... just one problem that I observed that after 40,000 kms the tires started making Road noises maybe due to less usage in first two years of installation...... strongly recommend......
I've just changed my tyres to this brand, so I'm kinda new with these tyres. However, I can say after a few weeks with this tyres... it is much better than previous tyres that I used. The tyre brand previously was Toyo (can't remember which model), it was ok... slightly rough, kinda loud road noise. Went to this tyre service centre, told them my budget... show them my car. In an instant the owner knew which tyre was perfect for me... at first I thought he was joking with the price, it is more cheaper that Toyo... and handling was far far better, smoother (bare in mind, its the raining reason so the road is always wet & slippery) and also quieter (I know... new tyres, of course its quieter). But for Bridgestone to give these kind of quality with this price point. I say yes, I would definitely recommend to others
