I found these tyres to have a sportier feel than the Pilot Sport 4 tyres I later changed to. They feel dynamic and have a good linear steering feel, similar to the Bridgestone Pirelli RE003 tyres. They lasted quite a long time, but they were significantly louder and slightly less comfortable than the Pilot Sport 4 tyres I changed to later, and their wet grip wasn't quite as good.

Just a brilliant tyre all round, The rim protector does not really seem to be large enough to do anything I must say. the tyre isnt as comfortable as its competitors due to the more rigid sidewall but it is worth it for the improved feedback and handling.

I have a 2016 Volvo S60 T5 with an ecu tune (roughly 300hp and 450-470nm of torque). I have to say the first thing I noticed about the tires are how good they grip in the dry.. they almost eliminated 90% of the negatives associated with front wheel drive which was very impressive because they had to handle a good amount of torque for a front wheel drive setup. They have really good traction in the wet too, specifically wet braking impressed me. Road feedback is excellent! Disadvantages: Wear was a little bit too much for me on the front tires but I guess you could blame the stress of the high torque and my very enthusiastic driving… I would also note that grip is noticeably lower the wear is high but it is understandable. The only reason I will not buy these again is the new F1 asymmetric 6.

impressive tires. excellent dry and wet grip. incredible dry braking and incredible wet braking.. the best tires in this measure. without comparison

Changed out of stock Kumho tyres at around 17,000km about two years ago. Having clocked 30,000km on highways and city roads, the F1A5 still retains much of its well-reviewed dry and wet grips and handling characteristics. Even now, it performs well for dry and especially wet braking. At the same time, being UHP tyres, the noise and comfort characteristics are not exceptional, but I find them still acceptable. Rolling resistance was high for the first 20,000km; thereafter, the drop in resistance was noticeable, with the car able to roll and coast for longer distances. All in all, very satisfied with the overall performance of the tyres, especially when they cost about 20% to 25% less than the PS4.

Seems to not like very wet roads. Great on dry roads with positive grip. Noise levels not too bad overall a good tyre.

I was using Primacy 4 prior and was looking for new tires that can drive relatively fast in the wet without experiencing aquaplaning like the Primacy 4 did and yet comfortable. Initially wanted to give PS4 a try but decided with AS5 as it was newer and cheaper. I was not disappointed at all - AS5 gives you great confidences driving in the wet and did not experience aquaplaning where I used to with Primacy 4. The ride quality may not be as plush as Primacy 4 but firm yet still comfortable. You will notice the tire noise getting louder once you hit over 10000km. The tire threads still have about 5mm left and should not have issues running at least another 20000km. Overall a good tire which suits my casual spirited driving.

awesome tires. This is the third outfit I've been wearing. for me the best. The best in the water and impressive in the dry. They are unrivaled to this extent.

Incredible grip in all conditions, these tyres feels amazing. Better grip than the Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres I had previously, but the trade-off for all that grip is very poor wear rate. Overall I would choose the Dunlops over these as they lasted far longer and gripped almost as well.

Exceptional tyre . Excellent wet grip and excellent braking.Very good dry grip and excellent braking. Very comfortable tyre with little noise. Unmatched value for money.

I had Pirelli run flats on the car and the front two were knackered. Whilst in the shop I decided to replace the rears as well. Best decision I’ve ever done - I cannot stress how much putting non run flats has improved the car. It’s like a completely different vehicle. I’ve only got 17’s on mine so was sceptical how much it would help and I was worried the ride would become spongy. How wrong I was. For reference my Goodyears are the reinforced version.
