Purchased the Galaxy March 08.
Within six months developed a slow puncture in o/s rear.
In general performance in Wet & Dry Conditions were good.

Too early to score accurately, but thought I would post anyway - I bought these tyres first, then stumbled across this web site, doh! The Excellence doesn't do well in your reviews and had I have visited this site first, I probably would have bought the F1 Asymmetric. I have used Bridgestone 040 and Michelin Pilot Sport in the past so will be interesting to compare. I will post again when I've done a few more miles.

Good tyres in general but a bit dissappointed in milage got double out of last goodyear tyres, but very happy with performance of tyre in general.

Have had these Goodyear excellence just under a year 13000mls and I think the wear rate is unbelievable (down to wear blocks) and showing up badly when grip is needed on corners when it rains and the suffer from bad tramlining,will not be buying these again and going to try Conti prem contact 2 next

these came with my 57 plate st and did 17000 and wore o.k but i found when cornering it would give me a sense that the sidewall was coming off the rim.it felt very flat but it did grip well in the dry with no tyre squeel atall but i now have vredesteins ultrac sessanta and its 100 times better and at a reasonable ?110 a tyre inc vat im happy to pay for the performance

These tyres are used on police vehicles and are subject to a lot of abuse. I have used them on ST220's, Diesel Mondeos and diesle focus's, and have no real complaints about them. Wet grip is resonable, but as they wear the grip is noticablly less, more so that other tyres eg Vredestien Sessanta on my private car. Dry grip is very good and very progessive, which what I value most when driving really rather quickly!
The wear on the diesel Mondeos is highest, but still get 12,000 miles to a set of fronts, even with the abuse they get, and the focuses nearer 20,000, even though they get changed at 3mm.
Generally a very good tyre and a lot better in the wet than the old NCT 5's

These tyres came on the car when new and the front lasted about 15k miles, although they could have gone slightly longer, if not for a puncture on the front n/s that could not be repaired. The ones on the rear have now done 25k miles and will soon need replacing after 2 years being on the car.
Put Conti Contact 2's on the front at 15k, and found these tyres better for grip than the GY's, although they have worn out quicker.

These were fitted to my from standard, and I have to say I think I would be hard pushed to find a worse tyre. The main proble is that the sidewall of these tyres is very soft. This means Steering feedback and responce suffers. Dry weather grip was so so, but wet weather grip was appalling. If the road is greasy, forget driving your car anywhere, however if it was very wet, they did seem ok.

Possibly fine as a motorway tyre, but for any sort of performance use, look elsewhere.

Very poor wear rate, only lasted 16000 miles (down to 1mm) on front. Tyre tends to 'tramline'. Grip and ride good otherwise. Quiet on normal roads.

Previous tyres (Continental Sport Contact 2, Michelin Pilot Primacy) each wore better (23000 miles) on front.

THESE TYRES HAVE ONLY LASTED 11,300 MILES I AM NOT PLEASED WITH THEM THE LAST SET WHERE GOODYEAR NCT 5's AND THEY LASTED ABOUT 28,000 MILES AND PERFORMED JUST AS GOOD I WONT BE BUYING THE NCT EXELLENCE AGAIN !

An improvement over the Dunlop Sport SP01 tyres and a MASSIVE improvement over the terrible Pirelli P6000 tyres - those things were frightening on bends!

These Goodyear Excellence tyres are the finest riding tyres I've tried, very quiet with a softness that suits a luxury car. I've not had the car slide at all with these tyres (unlike the P6000s).

I switched to Goodyear Excellence tyres after Continental Sport Contact 2's and found a surprisingly big difference. The main thing is that the ride is completely quiet with the car gliding along effortlessly at all speeds. I had some doubts about the change as the Continentals were original equipment and I do have more of a "Sport" driving style, but the grip in bends is equal or better, and emergency stops are super short (hardly activating the ABS). At the limit the slide is predictable and grippy rather than the Conti's lose it altogether and grab. I needed to get used to the rubbery feeling but that's OK since the performance is there. In comparison the Sport Contact 2's felt like slippery blocks of wood.
