235/45 19 Tyre Review Highlights

Continental EcoContact 6 rated 57% while driving a MG BYD Seal AWD
Driving on mostly motorways for 5000 spirited miles
I have the 6Q version of this tyre. It came fitted on my BYD Seal AWD (not listed here, so I chose MG since it's also a chinese car). The standout quality of this tyre is definitely comfort. It's very compliant and very, very quiet, probably the quietest tyre I've ever had. Road noise is almost nonexistent. But of course, being an eco tyre, performance is not the priority. Dry grip is fine when cruising at up to 120 km/h (75 mph), but not great when the car is driven spiritedly. It feels jittery, especially combined with the car's soft suspension. Handling is okay given its soft sidewall, but just doesn't feel grippy enough to inspire confidence to push the car in twisty roads. I never lost traction during acceleration, which is pleasantly surprising. In the wet, it feels quite slippery and wet braking is not as good as in the dry, but acceptable. Steering feels lazy and slow, and road feedback is minimal (it is an EV). I've only clocked 5000 km on them, and there's no noticeable wear yet, but I notice the tread is pretty shallow for an eco tyre. In conclusion, buy this tyre if you're after comfort and fuel economy. I wouldn't hesitate to put it on a family car or minivan. For cars with decent performance, I would look elsewhere.

Hifly HP801 rated 46% while driving a Ford Kuga
Driving on mostly town for 5840 average miles
Fitted to AWD Ford Kuga & it's our practice to fit new tyres to the front & rotate the old front tyres to the back. We do mostly city driving with average trip length of 10-20km. in 20 months the tyres wore down to 3mm on LHS & 5mm on RHS from new while the old tyres now on the back are still at 6mm each. Legal is 1.5mm. That's atrocious!

Hankook iON FlexClimate rated 85% while driving a Peugeot 508 SW HYbrid 225
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Fitted on a 508 SW Hybrid 225.

Previous tires were Pilot Sport 4

Tire is confidence inspiring. Grip is good and predictable. Noise level is lower than average, rid comfort is good. Can't say anything yet about wear.

They are quieter than the Pilot Sport. Comfort is better. Grip is slightly worse in the dry.

Very good overall tire so far. Can recommend it.

Maxxis Victra Sport 5 rated 77% while driving a Hyundai I30N
Driving on mostly country roads for 600 spirited miles
Got rid of the tyres that came with the Hyundai n series because these maxxis were the better option for the car I’ve had no problems with this brand I can harder and faster then I did before

Hifly HP801 rated 61% while driving a Volvo V60 Cross Country
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Was fitted to the car by previous owner of my Volvo V60cc.
Would not have been my first choice. Surprisingly decent tyres. Did a bit of off roading, dry and wet driving. Cover a lot of km, and there hasn’t been anything to complain about. Tyres are too loud for my liking, but nothing dramatic, can be ignored. Average overall, but can’t fault them.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 rated 87% while driving a Peugeot RCZ GT 156THP
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Only done 1000 miles but these new Michelin sport 5s are very good and a noticeable improvement on the 4s.
They handle well, no notice able uneven wear pattern as yet.
They are quiet too.
And pot holes seem less jarring, more adsorption from the rubber compound?

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 rated 76% while driving a Peugeot RCZ GT 156THP
Driving on a combination of roads for 25090 average miles
These handled well even in icy cold weather. They wear quickly and the fronts last approx 8000 miles but had uneven wear due camber set up being wrong, so assume would have got another 5,000
The backs lasted 25000 miles

Bridgestone Potenza Sport rated 50% while driving a Peugeot RCZ GT 156THP
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 average miles
These Bridgestone, last 15,000.
They were noisy and handling skittish
The wear pattern was even.
Grip not as good as other brands in dry and wet.
Will not buy again.

Pirelli P Zero rated 50% while driving a Hyundai Kona N
Driving on a combination of roads for 400 average miles
Unfortunately, the factory equipped tires on my 2022 Hyundai Kona N were Pirelli P-Zeros. All the Kona N's were equipped with these high-performance tires, a poor choice by Hyundai. These tires seem to be made with a very poor compound, as they mine were in this condition after the car sat a half year on the dealer's lot: Hyundai Canada won't warranty them, as they say it is a tire manufacturer issue, and the consumer needs to contact Pirelli directly, whom I have heard is very difficult to deal with. I ended up selling the car shortly after. It's disgraceful that Pirelli would put out a product like this.

As far as ride is concerned, they do grip extremely well, but only in warm (+15C and above) temperatures. Anything close to freezing temperature or below, and they basically become like hockey pucks. Don't even THINK about driving on snow with these tires! In hot weather, they are sticky. They will pick up every bit of dirt and sand and fling it against the sides and underside of your car, so consistent use on gravel is not a good idea. Also, they are fairly loud and communicate a dull roar to the passenger cabin.

In summary, I would not purchase these tires again, no way.
