235/40 R20 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport EV
rated 79%
There are mixed thoughts it seems with the Michelin Pilot Sport EV tire.
These tires were the OEM choice on my Cupra Born V3 58kw, and I am still on the original fronts at 30k miles albeit they now need changing due to the side tread disappearing.
I'm not a hooligan with a heavy right foot nor a "Miss Daisy" type of driver, but generally drive with a mixed variety of spirited and casual driving style.
I haven't experienced any moments of loss of grip or felt they aren't up to the job in either wet or dry conditions, but then I guess you adapt to the road conditions as and when some caution is needed, so never pushed them in unfavourable conditions to find out how far they can perform.
The road noise is not as quiet as I would expect considering they have an acoustic membrane inside when comparing with other standard tires, but then I haven't tried a non EV rated tire on the car to truly compare the difference.
The original rears lasted around 17k miles before changing, and were still inside the legal limit too, so probably could have got 20k out of them.
The range isn't great with these tires, but then they have a larger footprint compared with the other Cupra OEM offerings with 18" and 19" wheels that have a much better range.
So, my experience with the Pilot Sport EV are fairly positive and would consider buying again.

Awful howling cavity noise at around 200hz on anything but the smoothest of roads. I've driven other lower profile tires which were a lot quieter than these. Otherwise an ok performance tire.

Michelin Pilot sport should stand for performance tire, which is not the case for these PS EV.
Overall behave as a medium class tire or even budget tire.
Low grip in dry and unpredictable.
Not awful in wet , but also not at Pilot Sport standard.
For sure will not buy again.

Writing about the Altenzo Comforter
rated 66%
I've been using these tires in New Zealand. Mild weather, never too cold (not less than 0c) never too hot (not more than 35c).
I have them on a 152KW RWD 1500+KG sedan.
They are averaging 60,000km's per set.
These tires behave themselves quite nicely on my family car. I can 'set them loose' if I choose to.
However as I'm married with a family I generally don't.
However on the odd occasion I have been known to get aggressive especially with some idiots on New Zealand's roads, these tires have never let me down.
I'm on my 2nd set & I'll be going back for a 3rd set. So that should explain what I think of them, price for value they are great.
