245/40 19 Tire Review Highlights

Federal 595RSR rated 20% while driving a Holden Commodore VE
Driving on mostly motorways for 7000 average miles
Absolute worst tire you can buy. Lasted 12,000km on my commodore. The only good thing about them is the way they look. Bought them 2 years prior for close to $1000 and only did 6000km a year with them and I was told by multiple reputable companies that they were bald and out of shape. Drone is absolutely out of this world. Hydroplaned the whole way in the wet and could feel the feedback in the steering wheel the whole time. Still drove the car as I needed it for work but heart rate was through the roof the whole time and focus was absolutely essential. DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES, ABSOLUTE RUSBBISH BY FEDERAL. Used to have the Couragias on my 4x4 and they never let me down - don’t know how they thought they’d survive.

Lassa DriveWays Sport rated 71% while driving a Opel insignia
Driving on mostly town for 80 spirited miles
I'm using since 80.000Km on my Opel Insıgnıa. They had a same premium road feedback and grip. Dry and Wet really like grip monster.
Had a unbeliveable strong wear so can drive 80.000km =)

But they are very noisy and low comfort after 4 year and long kilometers.
I will change them nowadays. I want buy a little comfortable tires. May be will miss lassa's best grip.

Bridgestone Turanza T005 rated 69% while driving a
Driving on mostly motorways for 15000 spirited miles
Driven 25,000 km on Cupra Formentor 180kw VZ. Overall ok tires. The tires felt good but some loss of grip in dry during quick acceleration. Overall felt safe but T0006 maybe better.

Felt sure and true at motorway speeds, handled back country roads well. Seemed to handle wet roads well.

Never pushed these tires had as I was unsure of them, but they seemed to handle normal driving quite well.

Very noisy tire. To the point of being irritating.

Continental WinterContact TS 860 S rated 91% while driving a BMW 340 m sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
As a fan of winter tires and a self confessed "Michelin fanboy" these are the best winter tires I've ever used. Mostly because snow and ice are quite rare even in Scotland. So it's wet and dry performance in cold conditions that matter most.
These tires just hang on to the road and give significantly more grip than you can reasonably expect for the conditions. Breakaway is progressive and not just controllable but fun and exploitable.
Due to unforseen circumstances (and because I have a second car) I've ended up using these throughout the summer. Grip levels reduce as expected in high temperatures but the progression and fun remain.
I'm definitely staying loyal to Continental in winter now. Long to see what their new winter tires can do

Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT rated 39% while driving a BMW 530D
Driving on mostly motorways for 5000 average miles
I have had to replace 2 front tires in 5,000 miles due to tire ruptures from potholes on motorways. Fortunately, the tires protected the rims which did not need replacement.

Kormoran Kormoran UHP rated 100% while driving a Mercedes Benz
Driving on a combination of roads for 200 spirited miles
I purchased 2 tires after reading the reviews on here and all I can say is what a great tire. I can't comment on wear yet because I've only driven around 200 miles.. They replaced my Michelin Primacy 3, which I found to be very stiff and noisy.

Giti GitiSportS2 rated 77% while driving a Skoda
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 average miles
coming over from CSC7. what attracted me most about this tire were the sidewall designs, it looks way better than the csc7, almost close to a ps5 design. noticeably the noise is much lesser than csc7 and alot less bumpy. in terms of pricing, these giti sport s2 are half the price of a csc7. if you are someone who is in search of reviews for this tire brand/model, you are in the same shoes as me initially, but i decided on these tires because frankly the pricing seems its worth it.

pros:
-quieter & less bumpy than csc7
-sidewall design looks strikingly better
-excellent grip and engagement in the dry
-low priced

cons:
-have yet to try out on above 80km/h speeds on rainy/wet roads hence i cant give a review on wet surface
-due to its pricing, alot of people will shy away initially, as there isnt much reviews to back up this tire's performance

prior to using CSC7, i was using Goodyear F1A5 -> personally i would choose F1A5 over the GitiSport S2 as its much quieter & less bumpy. But for pricing sake, i wouldn't mind going with the S2 again for future change of tires.

Continental SportContact 7 rated 56% while driving a Skoda
Driving on mostly motorways for 1500 average miles
Probably one of the best looking sidewall tires with the fonts "Sport Contact 7". Excellent and confident in the dry while initiating the bends. However due to its stiff side walls....the ride can be really uncomfortable (bumpy). It is too harsh especially for daily usage. Running on coilovers and set to softer settings (ran pretty comfortable with F1A5) however it's too bumpy & unbearable for this CSC7. Had to replace them after 1500 miles.

Continental SportContact 7 rated 53% while driving a BMW 530d F11
Driving on mostly motorways for 4000 average miles
I bought these tires about a year ago. The drive was great and the grip immense no matter what the conditions were. I knew there is gonna be faster wear on those tires, but i figured it is worth the pleasure, however after just one summer season - about 4000 miles - mostly driven on a highway, the tires were pretty much gone. What is worse the thread is there but become step shaped and the noise they produce is unbelievable. They were not the quietest tires when I bought them, but now they are essentially undrivable. I wouldn't recommend them for heavier cars, i recon on VW Golf they work just fine, but in this size, it was not the best purchase.
