It's been 5 years and 50000 miles. Still have 3mm tread which is pretty nice. Dry handling is better than a old tire, but slip limit is very easy to reach. Wet handling is horrible as i mentioned previous review. It's a robust tire for tough roads. If you want a solid tire with long life span, ı highly recommend. But you should always careful about wet handling.

Petlas EU label data
16 of the 20 tyres on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tyre's best available size figures.
A Best wet grip
3 tyres reach EU wet grip class A. The highest scoring:
A Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 1 tyres reach rolling resistance class A. The highest scoring:
68dB Quietest tyres
The quietest tyres in the range are labelled from 68 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tyre's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.
New Petlas tyres
The newest arrival in the range is the Petlas Prestige Sport. 1 tyres have joined in the last two years:
| Tyre | Season | On the market since | TR Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petlas Prestige Sport | Summer | 2024 | not yet scored |
New tyres take time to earn a TR Score - tests have to be run and owner reviews have to arrive. A missing score is a data gap, not a verdict.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
An update on my Petlas Velox Sport. I am now at 41k km and they have started to break down and cause a steering vibration past 90 km/h! i have rotated and balanced all 4 tires and i still have a little bit of vibration on 90 - 130 km/h, the tyres shop told me they are starting to become out of round but the tread is very little worn and the grip in the dry and wet is still very good. Will probably replace them soon and try out the new model that replaces velox sport.
Brought the A6 avant 2 years ago from a dealership. These tyres had just been fitted along with new brakes etc. I do above average mileage, around 24k a year with a mixture of roads but mainly motorway/ dual carriage way.
I’ve now done 52k on these tyres and I’ve just noticed this week that the handling in the wet has gone. But they were brilliant in standing water and heavy rain. These tyres are really quiet with the windows up, no road noise. Fuel efficiency, well as mentioned above I average in an Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI 2021 55mpg
850 mile to 70 litres of fuel.
Comfort levels - unfortunately its on sports suspension therefore quite a stiff ride.
However re the UKs influx in potholes these tyres have stood the time well.
This is the fourth time I invested in this tires. I'm a very spirited driver wich like to take curves with sharp precision. I've hit many times 100mph, one at 130mph and never let me down.
I have been using this tyres for my volvo S80 diesel and i have done almost 38k km until now and they are looking very good so far!
I see that the performance is still the same in the dry and also wet grip and i do drive on some highspeed backroads and the handling is very good for this price range of tyres. This brand of tyres i would really recommend escpecially for the good price they have!
It's extremely quiet and comfortable, with great grip. Definitely more comfortable than my previous Kumho Ecsta PS71. I'm really happy with these tires.
