275/35 19 Tire Review Highlights
Kumho Ecsta PS91 rated 49% while driving a BMW E92 M3 V8
Driving on mostly town for 6000 average miles
Driving on mostly town for 6000 average miles
Purchased these for my 2008 BMW E92 M3. They were recommended on an M3 facebook page by multiple people as a decent value alternative to Michelins etc. Some people even said they were better than the flagship premium brands, so thought they were worth a go!
Initial impressions were ok, but over the space of a few weeks started to notice their flaws. I found that even when you engaged a little bit of power (not flooring the pedal) the traction light would regularly light up. This was not the case with the outgoing Michelins PS4's. I also found in the wet they did not give much confidence. In dry condition they are improved, but certainly not in the same league as Goodyear Eagle F1's, PS4/PS5's etc. That I could somewhat live with given their price...but regretted not buying Michelin or Continentals.
What I have found really poor though is the wear....and reading the reviews here I am clearly not the only one! They have only lasted about 6k miles and it is not driven particularly hard. This is roughly half, maybe closer to a third of the life of the outgoing Michelins. Having also had PS5's on a Mercedes A35 AMG that have lasted 20k miles and that is AWD, along with PS4's on a 335d Tourer Xdrive lasting 17k miles, these fall seriously short.
So therefore they really are false economy. Not only do they somewhat impede the performance of a powerful car (and that's what they seem to be aimed at), if they only last 30-50% of that of a Michelin they work out to be quite expensive!

Got told these tires are a B rating for wet grip. Not sure who lied but they are terrible! Pulled onto the roundabout and had to apply opposite lock as the arse end tried to overtake me. As for dry grip, I pulled out of a junction briskly and left half the tread behind. Paid £90 a tire for these. Would rather spend £60 like the last set and have them on for another 15k miles.
Kumho Ecsta PS91 rated 74% while driving a Holden 2016 VF SSV Redline

Bought these for the rear of my VF Redline Commodore.
They are quite soft and grip well and comfort wise are great value for money.
I have only driven in the dry to date so cannot comment on wet grip.
One thing I didn't like is they are only 265 wide when inflated. They are 275 at rest off the rims but are only 265 when fitted to rims and inflated.
A little misleading and as such I won't be buying them again. For spirited weekend driving in the dry, they are good value for money.

After 12 months and 15,000 miles of aggressive use on my RWD 2 ton saloon, I've come the the conclusion that:
Due to hard sidewalls and compound it is quite firm, you will feel the ruts in the road.
Dry use is fine, sticks to the road very well - especially when warmed up - no major complaints in dry weather (which isn't very often in the UK).
Wet/greasy use is different story, on the rear wheels of my 300+bhp diesel barge it is quite skittish. Accelerating off roundabouts - even at a normal pace - you feel little-to-no reassurance that the back-end won't try to kick itself out.
Take the above information as you will, but I won't be buying these tires again for a daily runner.
However, I definitely would do if it was for a track car only used in summer.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 rated 91% while driving a Toyota Supra

As a long time Michelin Pilot Sport user ( PSS / PS2 /PS4S ) the new PS5 is a leap forward , I mo longer do track work so stepped down to the PS5 from PS4S.
The Grip in both the Wet and Dry is excellent but the real plus is that there lasted 25k miles. and were at >3mm when i changed them.
The only downer is that they go out-of-round near the end of their life especially on the inside edge of the tire ( and yes the geometry was fine) this is also happening on the front tires as well. so much so it sounded like a wheel bearing was failing. When i rolled the wheel (off the car) on a smooth surface the wheel visibly swayed side-to-side. The higher sports on the tire appeared to be where the tire wear indicators are (3 spots on tire surface).
But this does not distract from 20k+ of fantastic grip.

I'm on my second one set of these run flat tires now. First set... front did 32000, rear 24000. Great wear and grip compared to a previous Pirelli set. Great tires and fabulous mileage for a large car.
Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906 rated 88% while driving a Aston Martin

Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 easy going miles
With limited options available to me at the time, I had these These V906 winter tires fitted at the last minute for a trip out to the Swiss Alps around New Year. They impress, with solid performance in cold weather and light snow - all without complaint. I've had winter tires before and am of the opinion that these provided a quiet, compliant ride without feeling soggy. They are of course hugely more confident on winter roads than my summer tires but as the Aston V8 is a powerful RWD car I was taking great care on those Alpen roads and certainly not pushing it. .

Very good track tires
Above the level of grip
Steering and road feel feedback is above the level
Focus on endurance and stability. Even after running 30 laps in Dapeng Bay, it still did not fade.

These were the original tires that came on my F80 M3 in 2018. The tires are 6 years old, and at 13,500 miles, the rears are at the end of their life. However, the fronts have at least another 8-12k in them. The tire’s performance was not amazing, but it wasn’t bad either. I drive my car in MDM mode 95% of the time and DSC off the rest. When the tires were cold, I could get the car completely sideways in just MDM mode. Warmed up, grip was much better. Absolute confidence on high speed turns. Took on ramps at 65 and they held up great, probably more left in them but I don’t have the balls hahah. Understeers a bit when turning sharp to initiate a drift, but lots of good steering feel. Breakaway is very smooth and quick to grip up when off throttle. I’ve tested 5-7 second burnouts in 2nd gear (6MT) and as soon as I let off they grip back up. Pretty bad in the wet must say. As soon as I hit boost, they slip even in 3rd and 4th gear at 4K rpm. My car is Stage 2 pushing around 480whp so that could be a factor too. This is a great tire for anyone looking to have a tire for daily driving, and spirited trips. Haven’t tried them on track, but I bet it wouldn’t be good. Would definitely not recommend for places with rainy climates. Definitely a Southern California tire. I will be switching them out for Federal 595 RS-RRs as I want a grippier, less expensive tire for hooning.
Sumitomo HTR Z5 rated 69% while driving a Nissan 370Z

Excellent dry grip. I maybe abusive to this tire but that said with 8k kms on this set the front tires are half worn while the rears needed replacement. Allow 800kms for proper break in. It will feel down right sketchy. After break-in these grip and become a real fun tire. I am seeing how far the rear will without the extreme abuse. No drifting this time.
Bridgestone Potenza Sport rated 79% while driving a Aston Martin V8 Vantage 4.3

Very happy with them, 6 months and 13k Km after I put a full set of these (235/40/19 fronts and 275/35/19 rears) on my Aston Martin V8 Vantage (2007), approximately consumed half of their life, most of those kilometers has been done on highways, little in the city, some country and hill roads plus some laps at Nürburgring, I can tell it's an outstanding tire, their performance is near close to semi-slick levels, they works extremely well on dry roads and don't need to be careful about warming them unless you live in a very cold climate, very well on wet roads which is not common for this kind of sport compound, they feels very sporty on every day use, steering feel is gorgeous, as downside it's a soft compound in their segment so expect to not be the best mileager tire and above average noise, I don't recommend them to use on daily "normal" cars, they are not terrible in this job but I think they are better intended for fun/sports cars.
