Bad under wet braking, had to do an emergency brake and the car veered to the side, never had that happen before. Do not feel confident in the wet with these. Dont buy, they were already fitted to my car when I got it.

I’d choose these tires any day of the week. I’ve tried the Michelin PS4, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, and Bridgestone Potenza S001, but none of them come close.
Driving Experience
I spend 90% of my time driving in town at an average pace of 50-80 km/h, and these tires deliver the perfect balance. They’re not overly harsh yet still offer excellent road feedback, making daily driving a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Performance
On mountain roads, these tires shine. The grip is noticeably superior to the PS4 and F1A6, giving me the confidence to drive spiritedly. While I haven’t taken them to the track, their performance in dynamic driving scenarios has been exceptional.
Highway Comfort
On the highway, these tires are significantly quieter, with much less resonance compared to others in this range. They also handle wet conditions beautifully, providing reliable grip on rainy or damp roads without any surprises.
Durability
The biggest criticism I’ve seen about these tires is wear. However, after driving 10,000 miles, I’ve noticed no drop in performance, and I expect to get another 10,000 miles from them.
Value for Money
Best of all, they’re more affordable than the Michelin PS4S in my region. Considering their performance, comfort, and cost, I honestly don’t see a reason to choose any other competitive tire.

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 rated 80% while driving a BMW m2

Genuinely seriously impressive tyre. I decided to use these as a winter tyre as I live in Scotland.
In dry conditions manages to have acceptable levels of grip in a straight line, slight wheel spin sometimes but cannot complain since the M2 is RWD 365bhp.
Very strong tyre in the dry and super progressive, really lets you know when it does begin to slip when doing spirited driving. A big strong point as these tyres still allow the vehicle to be driven in a sporting manner.
In the wet they are okay for wet straight line grip, it spins up pretty easy in 1st and 2nd gear. Regardless still catches grip eventually, the handling in the wet is also okay, nothing special and is nicely progressive when the car does begin to slip away while cornering.
They are also amazing at aquaplane resistance, never met a puddle that caused the car to lose control, and I’ve been through a good few storms on the motorway with standing water, been through large street puddles/low floods. Can really have confidence driving through very poor storm like rainy conditions
In the snow these tyres are brilliant, couldn’t complain at all. Was able to drive this powerful rear wheel drive without any problems in multiple inches of snow. I could rely on cornering grip (great and predictable snow drifts) it stopped well in the snow too and could go up and down snowy hills without a sweat. Genuinely very impressed and gives me great confidence for poor weather conditions.
In icy/frosty conditions, they seem to be great, pretty much felt the similar to the wet weather grip levels. Tyres seem pretty good in minus temperatures, won’t blow your socks off but will absolutely keep you safe.
All in all, after being able to test the tyres over a period of 3000 miles through various winter and mild conditions, I will only buy these going forward even with the price premium.
I feel like it allows my performance car to still be a performance car in the colder months. It also gives me peace of mind driving through the most adverse of conditions.

Bridgestone Potenza Sport rated 96% while driving a Audi S5

The tire as a whole is very nice and reliable, but care must be taken because the grip on dry when the tire is cold is less. However, once it reaches operating temperature the feeling is wonderful ! The feedback from the road and the feel in a corner is second to none. In the wet it also performs super. Just be careful on cold tarmac with cold tyres - then there is a loss of grip. I've been driving the tyres for about 8,000km, but it feels like the wear is a bit faster than I'd like.

I loved these tyres as soon as they went on the car, night and day difference from the OEM Bridgestone RFs that are meant for my E92 325i (those were awful tyres). I'm so glad I went with the F1 A5's as it's been a really pleasurable and safe ~3 years. I've done a mixture of driving, but at it's my daily it will most often be town/motorway. However I do enjoy driving down a country lane every few weeks (no track). The dry grip has been incredible and the feedback through the wheel is sharp, even more impressive in my opinion was the wet grip which really inspired confidence even around corners. Aquaplaning was sensational; on many occasions I had done long road trips around the UK in torrential rain, often from London to Dartmoor, Devon. On one occasion I was doing a healthy speed on the motorway with an M135i driving alongside me in seriously torrential rain till the point where they aquaplaned into the hard shoulder and my car continued thanks to the A5's. On top of that I did several spirited drives from London to Devon in the peak of winter in a RWD BMW on icy conditions that went as smooth as anything.
I really can't fault these tyres as they were so affordable and impressive. The only downsides for me were that they aren't particularly good looking tyres and they go quite "dry" in appearance fairly quickly so frequent tyre shine is needed. In terms of wear I guess around 18k miles is decent as the rears are only now getting to the limit and I guess I tend to power off the line more frequently than others, I've also done a couple of donuts over the years but only a handful of times.
I'm now considering going for Continental SportContact 7 in 255/30/19 (stock) or 265/30/19 for the rear replacement but I worry the wet grip will be lost.

The only downsides for me were that they aren't particularly good looking tyres and they go quite "dry" in appearance fairly quickly so frequent tyre shine is needed. In terms of wear I guess around 18k miles is decent as the rears are only now getting to the limit and I guess I tend to power off the line more frequently than others, I've also done a couple of donuts over the years but only a handful of times.
I'm now considering going for Continental SportContact 7 in 255/30/19 (stock) or 265/30/19 for the rear replacement but I worry the wet grip will be lost.

These were the tires that came on my 2024 BMW M240i xDrive. While they do alright they leave a lot to be desired. I just cant seem to trust them. They always handle the job with no drama when loaded up, but it takes a big of G to really get there. They just feel like they’re asleep until a threshold of high grip. On hard launch they dont chirp or bother they just go, hard stops the same. They are serious under pressure but almost always napping off the line. They are eh okay.

I bought the PS5s to replace run flat Pirelli P-Zeros, as I wanted tyres that would be more comfortable and last longer. I started off a bit disappointed as they felt less grippy and made the steering quite vague. But after a thousand kms they have changed and now prove to have great levels of grip. They are quiet, ride well (noticeably better than the old run flats) and that sidewall looks fantastic. The Pirellis had slightly more grip and better steering feel, but the expected longevity of the Michelins is worth the trade-off. Only thing I wish they had would be better rim protection as it's quite narrow.

Decent tyres and good value for money.
Never failed me.
Lots of miles on German autobahns with speeds exceeding100 m/h.
Long trips over 1000 miles in extremely high temperatures.

Laufenn S Fit EQ Plus rated 96% while driving a Audi a5 3.0 tdi quattro sport

This review is for the Z FIT EQ, these tyres are a real find. They are excellent in the wet and dry. They are laufenns UHP performance tyre. No understeer or oversteer with these having solid sidewalls and give you total confidence to drive your car in any situations you come across. Really comfortable ride in the car and excellent mpg. People think that economy tyres are not safe but all tyres sold in the UK have to meet British standards. 7.5 mm of tread depth and good rim protection make these brilliant!

Bought them due to a lack of alternatives. Previously used P Zero Assimetrico, Dunlop Sport Maxx GT, GT Radial Champiro and Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymmetric.
They give better feedback in an AWD car (wet and dry) than the Champiro and P Zero, plus outlast both by some margin. Rides far better than either, too; roughly on par in terms of NVH and comfort as the Eagle F1s.
The Dunlop Sport Maxx GT is however more comfy, has marginally better wet performance and shorter braking distances. But they wear out even quicker than the Advan Apex.
I'm a lively and brisk driver, in both wet and dry conditions, and enjoy employing what i bought the car (RS4 Avant, 3.0L) for, finding quiet b-roads whenever i can.
Recommended if no completing alternatives, or you're on a budget.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 rated 90% while driving a BMW 328i

Bought a full set for my 328i touring in July 2023. I've now covered 23,000 miles with them and will definitely be buying again shortly as they are getting close to the wear markers.
The tyres felt great in dry and wet conditions. Even when driving during the cold, wet winter mornings the tyres have given a suprising amount of traction in corners and roundabouts. When I think they are about to let go they keep on holding to the road giving a lot of confidence and feel for the car.
More than happy with the durability of the tyres. Regularly recommend the tyres to friends and colleagues.

But this tyre as a cheap replacement for a 14-year-old Audi A6 Avant. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how good they are. They are very quiet and very smooth but the one thing that is very impressive is the grip it’s just never ending. Don’t be afraid of the name they are a very good tire choice
