245/45 R19 Tires

Well, what can I say. This Goodyear Effiecent Grip Performance 2 came as the standard summer tire on our Volvo EX30 P8 (Twin Power Perfromance).
Most of the tme it has enough grip to cope with the MASSIVE torque the little sleeper Volvo is able to deliver, but not always.
Most notable are two massiveissues I have with the tire:
1. The extreme lack of comfort. Yes, Volvo recommends to run these at 2.6 bar but I have NEVER ever driven a tire as harsh as this before. It just sucks ofver small bumps and joints.

2. The steering is very vague. It just does not like to go exactly where you point it...

Will be switching to Michelin 18" for next summer.

These were purchased to replace some e.Primacys that came with the car. Those had about 4-5mm of tread left at 14000 miles but never gave me any confidence in wet conditions, which is where the need for a replacement came in.

I was in a toss up between the Primacy 5 Energy, these and possibly the Hankook Ion Evo. Hankook looked ugly to my eyes (which kinda gives away how little there is between these tires) and I couldn’t find the Primacy 5 with acoustic foam in my size which I didn’t want to give up on as I’ve found it great for cabin comfort.

Compared to the ePrimacy which road quiet, these have slightly louder tire roar. That said, they seem to sponge up bumps much better and provide a lot of confidence when cornering and accelerating in wet conditions.

There’s a trade off for this, they do have higher rolling resistance, even being A rated, the ePrimacy seemed to sacrifice everything for efficiency.

I think you’d be hard pressed to pick between these and the Primacy 5 Energy. This is a very “touring” sport tire, those are a firmer touring tire. They probably last a bit longer with a quieter sound but not sure if it translates into the cabin without trying them.

Just bought this set to replace the old Dunlop3d I had for winter, did't had snow yet but in dry and wet in temperatures from 5 to 18 degrees celsius didn't feel any difference in grip between this and the summer set I have (Goodyear asymetric 6), will come back with an update after first snow experience.

They are made in Japan
Tread deep about 7.5 mm

These tires are dangerous! My BMW X1 U11 25e came with OEM 19" EcoContact 6Qs...from the very first kilometers driven I knew they had poor grip. No matter dry or wet, but when its wet it gets dangerous...hard braking not possible at all: abs comes on, car is literally uncontrollable and starts sliding and all other safety features on the car comes on. Surprisingly they perform well in heavy rains, but not sure if that's due to the tire or that I am driving slow.
Ride quality and noise are pretty good, wear too...I believe it will be impossible to wear these out. Worst tire ever to come out of Continental factory.
I have other cars equipped with eco tires (mainly Bridgestone Turanza Enlitens), but none is that bad.
If you have to choose - NEVER get these tires

These tires were replaced by the dealership I bought my pre-owned Polestar 2 from. Having heard how quickly EVs can go through a tire, I decided to see how they performed. I've driven 7000 miles in 6 months across late spring to early fall in sun, rain, warm and cold, but no winter weather. The tires have surprisingly good dry grip and are pretty sharp handling. Outright handing and performance isn't on the same level as something like the 200TW I autocross with, but plenty good for a road tire. The wet grip at low wear levels is very good, I haven't experienced any degree of hydroplaning, even at highway speeds with standing water and the cornering grip in the wet is solid. Whether it's the car or the tire, the combination does have an understeer bias. Overall, for the price I see these tires listed at, initial impressions are very good for a budget fair weather tire. Given the tread pattern, I probably won't give them a chance in winter, I can't imagine they'll stop an EV well in ice and snow, but that's purely speculation and caution. They seem to be wearing well so far and road noise is noticable, but not terrible. Overall, they performed better than I expected and I prefer them to the cross climate 2 and hankook ventus v2 concept 2 for summer commuting.

I bought these tires because, my friend crash my daily and i have no other choice just drive this car in every weather as daily. I dont have another set of wheels because I want to buy Style 152 wheels. I had a old Continental sportcontact 5 with DOT 2019 since I bought the car. Car was terible to drive and it was tramlining like crazy.

After replace i have a new car! Tires are really good in comfort and rain. I didnt find a limit of tires yet because because i have them short period of time.

I was little bit worried how UHP all season will behave, but i am really surprised

Grip and feedback is excellent, wear is less than I expected and the noise level and rolling resistance is low as promised and what I bought them for. Downsides: They are not great but not bad either on aquaplanning and they can be a bit unsure of themselves on very bad surfaces.

As the front tires had been changed a while 9 months ago for Hankook Ventus Evo 3 i can tell you i will definitely not buy these Hankooks again. The tire has a life time less than half of the Michelin so in the end they are twice as expensive.. so probably i will go for the new Michelin Primacy 5 energy. They say it's lifetime is even better than this one so that means already a lot.. I did think about the Hankook Ion Evo but it's more expensive and again doesn't come close to the lifetime of the Michelin and how often you drive on the limits of the tires?
