245/45 19 Tyre Review Highlights
Pirelli P Zero All Season rated 68% while driving a Volvo XC40 Recharge P8 AWD

Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 average miles
These are the OEM tires that came on my Polestar from the factory. Dry and wet grip and braking is very impressive and the tires have great handling characteristics and a comfortable ride. Unfortunately the winter performance is abysmal - during the first snow that we got for the season (about an inch of fluffy, freshly fallen powder) braking from 17mph took about 7-8 times longer than normal with ABS working the whole way. Later that day I was stopping from 20mph and the rear end broke loose and drifted to the right a bit. The tires did take correction well so I will give them that, but they are not nearly as confidence inspiring as the dedicated winter tires I am used to on the other cars in my fleet. I would happily buy these tires again for summer and wet season use, just be aware that they are the traditional "3 season" tires as opposed to some of the newer All Seasons that have winter tire adjacent performance.

Bought these after reading some reviews from other Quadrifoglio owners saying that these were some of the best all-seasons that retained the dartiness and precision of the stock Pirellis. So far I would have to agree. I think the Pirellis were definitely a more focused and exciting tire, but not really by too much. But they only last 10k miles, front axle would judder at low speeds at full steering lock, in cold temps they were so stiff it was like driving on hockey pucks and felt like they weren't always gripping as they should.
These Continentals feel like they sacrifice maybe 15% of the sporty/direct feel of the Pirellis but make up for it in comfort, noise, and grip in colder temps. You can hustle around corners and mash the throttle and there's very little slip (if any) even in colder temps. And better yet, no more front axle judder. In general the car feels much smoother but can still play along with sporty driving pretty darn well. I'm still considering going for a more dedicated summer tire when the temps go up, but they are good enough to make me doubt whether that's worth it. Expect these will last much longer as well.

Surprisingly good snow and ice grip and low road noise. Hard to notice much difference from true winter tyres but have not used them in heavy snow yet so cant say for sure. In icy conditions with 5-10 cm of snow they performed very good. Also very good afterwards in the slushy thaw conditions. Have only used them for around 1500 km so cant say anything about wear.
Handling and dry grip marginally worse than default summer tyres but good winter abilities well worth the trade off with this all weather tyre from Hankook.
Unless you live in very cold climate with several weeks of ice and snow in the winter Hankook Ion Flexclimate will be a very good all year choice.

First time I tried Michelin for my MB V250 and did the double of KM's. It did 46.000Km. I tried Continental, Hankook, Kumho, and this 3-Primacy where the best.

Being a Conti I expected the tyre to be a lot better than this, it was a very middle of the road tyre, and fairly noisier than expected. Wear was terrible 13 months and +/- 22k and they worn it, on a car that an EV (granted the weight ) that is used as a family city car 98% of the time. Hardly ever driven hard.
Leao Nova Force rated 90% while driving a Opel insignia

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.

I have a 2021 Audi quattro estate, these tyres came with the car, purchased as second user. I LOATH these tyres, never felt so little grip in a 4wd car, bad in the dry, worse in the wet, and any bumps in the road seems to make the car feel like it is constantly slipping. Not good in windy conditions either . I am not an overly speedy driver, but driving at least 10mph slower to feel safer. Changing out ASAP

Changed my P Zeros to a cheaper brand and brought Hankook for my BMW X3 and i was very surprised , the drive was smooth and road handing very good but i don't drive fast in the wet, and they are very quite as well when on the motorway . The last lost of tyres were nearly £1k and these were £766 and to be fair what a great buy, not had them long enough to judge the road wear but the Pirellis in my opinion wore very quickly especially at the front .
Bridgestone Turanza EV rated 74% while driving a Tesla Model S

Very quiet, soft and comfortable ride, seems to handle very well over the first 800 miles. I am shocked that they are so inefficient however. My 2018 AWD Model S has averaged 266Wh/mile for the first 3 sets of tires over 90,000 miles. So far the Turanza EV is averaging 281Wh/mile, a loss of range of about 11%. The only way they can make up for that loss is to last longer than the 30,000 miles the previous tires have lasted. I hope they do.

This is a first for me to buy budget tires.
I have to say i am very impressed with the grip and the handling and the comfort much better than the Bridgestone they have replaced.
I don't do reviews but when i was buying these i looked at the reviews and it was a bit mixed, so all i have to say is i have put two tyres on my BMW530d for less than the cost of one from a brand name, and they are brilliant.
i can't tell you how happy i am with them
