245/35 19 Tire Review Highlights

Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus rated 71% while driving a BMW Alpina d3
Driving on a combination of roads for 21000 spirited miles
I drive this tire on an Alpina D3 F31 Bi-turbo Touring Allrad. This tire is okay in dry conditions and good in the wet. It’s the best I know when it comes to lateral grip on snow. With no other tire have I been able to corner so well and so quickly on snow. Everything else is also good. On my vehicle — even though it has all-wheel drive — the rear tires wear out twice as fast as the front ones. I have to replace the rears almost every year, while the fronts usually last about two years, depending on how much and how I drive. I would buy it again and have been doing so for years. Nothing else comes close to this one in terms of lateral grip on snow.

Continental WinterContact TS 830 P rated 49% while driving a BMW Alpina d3
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
It's a good tire, as the dry grip was very good and the wet grip was okay. It handled well and allowed for sporty driving in dry conditions. However, the lateral grip on snow was disappointing. Everything else was fine. I did have a major issue with this tire, though: severe sawtooth wear. It got so bad that with just about 1 cm of fresh snow (you could still see the road underneath), I couldn't take corners anymore. I could only turn at walking speed. I ended up replacing the tire early. Never again.

Vredestein Wintrac Pro rated 60% while driving a BMW Alpina d3
Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 spirited miles
I drove this tire on an Alpina D3 F31 Bi-Turbo Touring Allrad. It's a good tire in dry conditions, and especially impressive in the wet. I’ve never had a winter tire with such strong wet grip — it even rivals some summer tires. However, I was disappointed with its lateral grip on snow and ice. Everything else was good. Wear was acceptable, but due to the camber of my car, the tires wore down excessively on the inside — to the point where they tore and the internal reinforcement material became visible on the rear tires. I won’t be buying them again, mainly because of that issue and the lack of lateral grip.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 rated 96% while driving a Ford FG Falcon XR6 Turbo
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 average miles
About to replace these tires after just under 15,000km. Very good tires. Very sharp response, they're quiet, and the grip in the wet is surprising when new. Depending on power, you'll plant it thinking you'll light them up only to receive whiplash as they stick lol. Very nice quality wheels too, very little balancing needed based on how little weights were on the rim when fitted. They don't peel or scuff, they appear smooth and wear down over time. I had Potenza RE003 before these and these are way beyond them. Potenza are good in the dry but they were terrible as soon as it got a little damp. And they had such a delayed response and only lasted 8,000km. You get what you pay for with the Goodyear's. 490hp FG XR6 Turbo Sedan 2008 in rural New Zealand

Pirelli Powergy rated 71% while driving a Infiniti Q50S Hybrid
Driving on mostly town for 7000 average miles
Put these tires on to replace some factory Dunlop run flats, which were horrible on the car, made a lot of noise and made the car scary to drive in the wet. These tires were a great improvement on the Dunlop run flats. These tires are great for the car when is it being used for daily driving. I have taken the car for one spirited run and the car handled great however there was minimal road feedback from the tires, so I was unable to determine how much more I could push the car before hitting limits. The tire is ideal for the purpose this vehicle is used for as it's not used for spirited "mountain/canyon runs" usually. As a daily drive to and from work, these tires are nice and comfortable, quiet and provide great wear and fuel economy. If I was to use this car for more spirited driving, I would not be keeping these tires on.

Continental SportContact 7 rated 92% while driving a Honda 1.6 I DTEC
Driving on mostly country roads for 300 spirited miles
My car came with Cup 2s in 245/30/20 but living in a place where maximum day time temps in winter can be as low as 10 deg C I wanted something that would work a bit better all year round. No track work, daily driving or rain, just mountain twisties in the dry at a fast pace but not pushing it to the limits. Was using PS4S on a set of 19" wheels that were great but the price had jumped to $550AUD each.

As expected the SC7 don't have the same direct or sporty feel as the Cup 2s and most likely the Potenza Sport that I also considered. Subjectively they still feel very fast and balanced for my chassis which is fair stiffly sprung from the factory. While I don't push them extremely hard, they feel like they are fairly progressive and wouldn't bite you as you approached their limits.

When warm they also have a ton of dry grip and unlike the PS4S don't engage the traction control under full acceleration. In my size they also weigh over 1kg less than the PS4S so the unsprung mass is a lot closer to the factory forged wheels and Cup 2s. Compared to both the PS4S and the older SC6 that I drove on a 2018 FK8 Civic Type R the SC7 overall just feels more balanced (grown up?) with decent feedback but without compromising outright grip. As I'm not chasing laps times it means I can focus on driving the car for enjoyment and be less concerned about what the tires are doing. Plus if I want outright steering feel, grip and an edgier ride I can just throw the factory Cup 2s on!

So overall a great match for my car and while I would have gone with something different if I was doing track work, for my use case they are brilliant.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 rated 99% while driving a Audi A4 Avant Quattro 204PS (S + BE)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10 average miles
Been driving for many decades but last 10 years I used to buy Vredestein until their quality dropped, so tried a few other cars with different tires, and saw the Goodyear Assy 5's were very good. The new version Assy 6's came out so decided to use on my previous car and the results were excellent. Now have on my Audi A4 Quattro and they are utterly superb, especially when you need them (emergency stuff and poor weather). I was worried about the wear after reading all the comments which I always research, but I find the wear excellent for application (sporty will wear more than touring etc). I strongly recommend these tires which even impress my comrades with tire-specific sports cars when I let them drive mine. Whatever the new methods of manufacture and materials, it works well on these.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S rated 76% while driving a Mercedes Benz A45 S AMG
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
These are a great combination of sporty and capable with compliance for comfort. They are great in the dry and very capable once warmed up. They are ok in the wet but push hard and the feedback can be slow. The wear for a performance tire is great in my opinion they last me a decent amount of time.

Nexen N Fera SU1 rated 100% while driving a Audi TT 2.0 Quattro
Driving on a combination of roads for 600 spirited miles
I have these tires on a mk3 Audi TT Quattro. Most people slow down in the wet, I felt so confident I speeded up! In the dry they are excellent and almost silent. 69dB that’s 3dB less than Michelin. I have had these since February 2024 and have nad no bad issues with them. Although i have never heard of Nexen until I bought this car with them on already.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S rated 97% while driving a Hyundai Elantra N
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
Extremely good tire. I have full confidence in them even in pouring rain. Now to be fair, I have 245 width which helps but my Elantra N is fairly light so there isn't all that much weight to keep the tires planted. Yet these tires have never steered (

Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport rated 74% while driving a Audi TT MK3 1.8
Driving on mostly town for 11000 spirited miles
I got these three a couple of years ago on a very attractive offer from Costco.

These tires are extremely competent on a summer’s day. Above 10°c and a dry road I could never reached their limits. In the rain they are also very well put together, albeit I never pushed them in the wet.

Unfortunately, I could never fully enjoy these tires. Due to the horrendous degradation of our roads, soon after purchase I hit an extremely bad pothole (under a railway bridge. Couldn’t see it until it was too late). Although the tire and wheel was refitted, I never felt like I could fully trust them. This is there downside. They are extremely hard (due to being a UUHP) and just can’t cope with our roads. They get thrown about all over the place and don’t make for a pleasant ride. This isn’t the fault of the tires, but really can’t recommend them as an everyday in the UK.

I will add finally that they are useless in the winter. This is no surprise, but under 8°c they are rock hard. So do keep this in mind. Perhaps have a set of winters/All seasons and run these only in the summer.
