Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 rated 86% while driving a Audi A5 Sportback 35 TFSI
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles

Replaced the original Michelin Primacy 4's a few days after getting the car new and the Asymmetric 6's immediately felt sportier with more direct steering feel, less body roll and a tremendous amount of grip, particularly in the wet, making the drive safer and more confident in all conditions. At the same time, road noise inside the car went up a notch and the car felt a tad bouncier although I would still consider it comfortable and quiet. Wear level is good – 6mm tread left all round after 5000 gentle miles. Fuel consumption: managed 69.9 mpg from London to Cambridge (cold engine, no aircon or heating, around 20C). A great set of tires!

Shockingly bad in the wet, especially aquaplaning which was surprising as they came up well in tests. I do have a RWD car though so I wonder if that's why? Honestly couldn't wait until they were worn and needed replacing as the front would slide out in wet weather and the rears would wheelspin even under mild acceleration. Do NOT recommend even though they're cheap, went back to Cross Climate 2's which were night and day better.

China does manufacture high quality tires with wallet friendly budget. It has excellent grip in dry and wet condition. It’s consistent with ample performance and a comfortable ride thru out 50,000 miles of the lifespan I experienced comparing it with Michelin PS5 at more than double cost. Disappointed with PS5 at 20,000 miles only at end life. I would recommend it to everyone who travel a lot & occasionally spirited drives and wants a budget friendly tires.
Pirelli P Zero PZ5 rated 83% while driving a Audi TT MK2 TFSI
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles

I replaced my worn Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires with the Pirelli P Zero PZ5 after watching a video review. Given that the PZ5 is a newer-generation tire, I had slightly higher expectations.
Comfort has notably improved—especially over small surface imperfections—compared to the PS4. However, the overall feel is more subdued. While the PS4 had a distinctly sporty, almost go-kart-like character, the PZ5 leans more toward a touring-oriented experience. That sharp, immediate connection to the road is something I miss with these tires.
Steering response is noticeably softer in the initial degrees off-center, and the tire takes a moment to settle into corners. Cornering grip is excellent, but due to the muted feedback, I actually felt slightly more confident with the PS4—though this could vary depending on whether the car is front-, rear-, or all-wheel drive.
The compound feels very soft, which is apparent both in the ride quality and performance. In high temperatures (sunny weather above 30°C), grip deteriorates somewhat in very tight, low-speed corners, resulting in mild understeer as the soft compound starts to give way.
I can't compare it to other tires of the same generation, but compared to the PS4, the PZ5 is clearly better suited for daily commuting and long-distance driving. For spirited driving, however, I expected a bit more precision and engagement. That said, I wouldn’t say it's worse than the PS4—just different, particularly in my current AWD setup.

Very very comfortable, have them on my w211 mercedes e class, changed the car completely, be it comfortability or drivability, only had them for 2 months so I dont know much about durability / wet handling but I bet theyll be better than anything ive had before.

Dry grip is ok, but wet grip is not as good and leaves me less confident, I wouldn't push it on wet roads.
Wear rate is very slow, comfort I found it a little harsher than my previous set of tires.

Bought these tires dur to the very good reviews of ps71. I do not have a sporty car, but the dry grip and braking it’s excellent. Never felt the tires struggling for grip.
They are not loud, but wouldn't they are necessarily quiet. You can hear them a bit depending on the road surface and speed.
Didn’t drive them too much in the rain, but seem to hold pretty well in wet conditions.
Mounted them in march this year and after 10-15k km I don’t see any major wear, but I would have to abstain on this one until I get them properly measured.
All in all, very good value tires and they looks preety good on my car

Bought the tires just over a year ago. Noticed from the get go on wet roads the water displacement was very good. Quite noisy but you can get over that.
Around 25,000km later, the outside of the tires are below the legal limit whilst the inside have 3mm left (must be a recurring thing as an alignment was done on them when they were put on and other drivers have experienced this). This can also be seen in the back two tires but not as prominent. There’s probably another 15,000km-20,000km ish to get out of them.
Grand set of tires. Probably wouldn’t buy again. The next set going on the front are a pair of Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 6’s.

Good tires with good grip but worst comfort wise. They are extremely noisy and you feel each and every minor road Crack in your car and steering. Not good experience comfort wise. But handling and grip is good.

Threw these on my 2018 c43 coupe today after reading reviews all week. I instantly set out to test the performance all evening after throwing them on and I couldn't stop smiling. These are perfect ‘AS’ tires if you love to have fun on a day to day basis while still maintaining it’s practicality. I chose these over summer tires because of how unpredictable the weather could be even during the warmer months here in Ontario. I‘ll still get proper winter tires when the time comes due to the amount of snow we get as well.
Currently running a stage 1, and I can now confidently put all that power down as intended lol. So far it’s left me thinking about how good the ps4s must really be as summer tires if the AS4 tires completely changed the feel of my car. It feels like I drive a ‘track car’ as a daily due to the feel of these tires lol
