I came from a hankook ventus s1 evo3 . But they had pretty bad dry cracks even before the tire ran out of life . I have 245/35/20 tires . the comfort on the firestones are a little bit worse then the hankooks . i could run the hankooks on 2.5 bar , these on 2.3 for the same comfort . i think the firestones are a bit more fuel efficient , even when they are on a lower tire pressure . Dry grip is very good , never lost any traction , even in the rain . aquaplanning is also very good , never had any feel of losing controle .
So far i ran the tires around 15.000 km and lost 1.5mm out of the 5.5mm tread on the front , and only lost 0.5 on the back . so i think ill get aroud 60.000km out of it if i switch them every year . Found out they have like 0 traction on snow , keep that in mind .

Replaced the Michelin pilot sport 4 on my dad's insignia with the sport contact 7 after reading all the tyre reviews tests and opinions. Honestly, they may even be better than what people say. Dry grip, honestly, way better than the already perfect PS4. I feel like I can't break them into understeer whatever I do to them. Wet grip is also very safe and stable. We've only used them for less than 5000km so can't rate the wear, but they look like new. They are also really comfortable, maybe not as much as the PS4 but veery comfortable and quiet. The perfect UHP summer tyres in my opinion.

I wanted to try something new when buying new pair of fronts (at the back I left the previous gen. - EA5 - from former owner of the car).
Some professional reviews claimed that this is something between a touring and sports tyre. However I quickly realized this was an overkill for my FWD 163HP diesel estate as it turns out it has very little to do with touring tyres as claimed.
The grip on dry and wet is absolutely amazing and it is very difficult to find the limit of the tyre on a car like mine. But I do miss more of the qualities of touring tyres - I feel like it lacks aquaplaning resistance on highways and the noise on anything other than perfectly smooth tarmac is very high.
Wear: After one summer season of mostly highway motoring and occasional spirited driving on nice roads the tread on the fronts is down to cca 5.3mm. On the back I still have the previous generation - EA5.
Conclusion: Fun experience and definitely a great tyre for sportier use, but I learned that I need something more balanced (characteristics-wise) for my usecase and car. After I wear these out I will buy something like Continental Premium Contact or Pirelli Cinturato.

It came with the car when I bought it, it's on front axle, I had a few cars with different tyres, but these are the worst.
It should be illegal on public roads.
Very very little grip.

I bought bigger 19 inch wheels for my car and i needed new set of tyres. I went for a budget option since the premium brands ask too much for their products. The workshop recommended this set of LEAO NOVA FORCE, a brand unknown for me. The European testing put them on 16th place out of 50 selected tested tyres. On highways i do not drive above 150 km/h, city maybe 80 km/h on some places but more often 50-60. My city has uphill and downhill streets. The tyre is very quiet, the grip is more than satisfactory, on wet surface they handle well. The wear is just fine, no signs of extensive wear. My car is FWD with 140 hp engine manual gear so all the pressure is on the front tyres. They exceeded my expectations for half the price of the premium brands. I will probably buy another winters set for the 18 inch rims from the same manufacturer. IF YOU DONT RACE YOUR CAR i highly recommend to give them a try.
P.S. I gave previously review and by mistake instead of 40 i went for 45, so this is the correct one.

I'm using since 80.000Km on my Opel Insıgnıa. They had a same premium road feedback and grip. Dry and Wet really like grip monster.
Had a unbeliveable strong wear so can drive 80.000km =)
But they are very noisy and low comfort after 4 year and long kilometers.
I will change them nowadays. I want buy a little comfortable tires. May be will miss lassa's best grip.

This is my second review of the same tyre. I'll repeat again, for daily, normal style of driving this tyre ticks all the boxes. Caution on wet rainy roads, just be a little extra careful. Haven't had any bad experience or issues so far. I drove through very big potholes (rimbreakers) in average speed, till now all is good. Perfect budget tyre. Just buy it without hesitation.

My Nokians are now down to 4 mm of tread depth, after 30000km of driving, mostly highways. Previously I had Michelin Premacy 3 tyres fitted.
Nokians are very well-balanced tyre with great grip on dry and wet roads. During long high-speed driving (over 150 km/h) tyres are very safe with precise steering. Noise level are on the low side, not intrusive in any way even when worn. Wear is higher than my previous tyres Michelin Premacy 3, but this was expected for UHP tyres.
Fuel consumption is Ok, I did not notice some differences compared to Premacy 3. For perfect experience I believe that ride comfort should be little bit better with better dumping capabilities.
If I could find these 20% cheaper than other premium brands (as I did last time), I would buy them again for sure.

Advertised as a 4 season tire, but doesn't work for summer weather. Tires are all chopped up, I guess from the very hot asphalt during the summer season.

Driven for 25000 km. Dry handling ok. Wet handling is disastre. Two times went out the road on 55km/h on wet road. Be very careful. On snow ok.

You don't need to spend more money for other brand tires. You will be amazed by its performance on wet and dry surfaces. You will be angry with yourself for not trying these tires before. I definitely recommend it.
