Passenger Car Summer Premium Touring Tires Tire Review Highlights
These are premium tires with the highest ratings in basically everything. I mainly value comfort with quiet tires and good wet properties. I don't have "aggressive" driving. I have increased the tire pressure to 2.9 - 3.0 but it is not felt when driving.
Highly recommended.

Got these to replace standard Bridgestone turanza 005A. Did 4 wheel allignment as well. Initial impressions quieter, handling is great, dry and wet during late winter in the UK and early spring, comfort better even those turanza 005a was SL and these are XL. Perfect tire, my only concern is that fuel economy dropped about 25% which I can't explain. Motorway averages 42mpg, previously it was 56. I've inflated them to what car manual says to 36psi, but manual assumes the tires are SL. Wondering maybe XL ones need higher pressure to compensate, but can't find any info about this. Also confuses me that people were saying XL is stiffer ride, in my case totally the opposite.

Would do better putting bicycle tires on the car. Easily damaged on less than perfect roads and the rate of wear is ridiculously excessive no matter the driving style. Cost to replace a set is around $300 a corner - crazy. These are the only US option for the BMWi3 - making this a fatal flaw for an otherwise great car.

Excellent grip on dry roads, but in wet conditions performs under expectations, but it's still good. Noisy and firm tire, I will change them for a more comfortable set.<br />
For sporty driving it's a good choice, i love them on serpentines, but i miss the level of comfort for daily driving.

Bought a set of Bridgestone Turanza ER300 for my 2009 Ford Focus mk2.5 Ghia 2.0 Duratec in Dec/2019. DOT 4619, recent tires for the occasion.<br />
<br />
As they are the stock tires that came in 2009 with my car, I didn't made any research at all. At first, on the initial kilometers, I found out that the wet grip was a stomp, even with the tires brand new, which made me aquaplane at just about 60 kph and lose control of my car. After a couple thousand kilometers, I noticed the wet and dry grip improve (about after 5000km) and the tire became predictable for all of its remaining life.<br />
<br />
The wet grip is always bad, maybe the worse tires I've ever tested. If I get a steep slope at 90 kph with my car in 5th gear only at 2500 rpm with TC off, the wheels starts spinning even with best tarmac drainage. It's very very very dangerous. You get used to it, but the tires don't let you drive past 70-80 kph in wet conditions, even if the road is not slippery, it's simply not safe.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, dry grip is spectacular. It's a predictable tire, soft and grippy, doesn't disappoint even if you force a oversteer reaction from the car or slam the brakes mid-turn. Seems like a different tire comparing wet and dry.<br />
<br />
The noise is also very low, it's a really soft tire to drive.<br />
<br />
Durability is its strong quality. I drove until now 62000km (about 38000mi) in Brazil's roads, which is common to encounter dangerous potholes and bad tarmac, and the tires simply never got a puncture even through almost 7 years of use. It's not even on TWI mark (about 1mm to get there). <br />
<br />
For conclusion: I would never buy these tires again due to its wet grip, which is dangerous for most of the regular drivers. If I lived in a dry climate country, maybe I'd consider another set.

Drove these tires on my first 50 miles journey and i can tell you for sure these are very silent tires, maybe the most silwnt i drove. These tires are designed for comfortable and silent driving on the highway. The response to wheel turning is slow and my civic X feels completely different compared to previous Pirelly powergy tires i had. Those Powergy tires offered a feeling of security at high speed due to better responsiveness to turning but were considerably louder. I am happy with with Michelin Primacy 5 anyway because now my car feels like a premium car due to silence and comfort they offer. Anyway i don't really need that much responsiveness because i mainly commute from point A to B which doesn't really demand a lot of high speed handling. For those who prioritise sharp response while handling these tires might not be suitable . The sidewall is soft. Before deciding you should think if you really need sporty tires. Once again - these tires are the most silent i ever drove. Will come with additional impressions after driving more.

Driving a VW Golf6 Variant 1.2TSI sinds Jan 2026 these tires where allready fitted to the car (DOT '23)<br />
First of all these tires are pretty noisy, aspecialy on rough asphalt, if the road is nice they are almost quiet, not to bad.<br />
Because of the noise I was planning to change them, but after driving for 4K on these beauties, they can stay, the car feels very planted and cornering......I do not know where the limit is, that fast you can throw the car into a corner, wet or dry.<br />
Still I read a lot about a "soft side wall" and 205 on a 6,5J rim can be a bit wallowy, but there is al solution for that, what I did is inflate the rear tires to 2.5 bar (fronts are 2.3) then the car feels realy nice, probably it also has to do with the greater overhang of the car in the back, but not anymore.<br />
I want to changes my rims to a 7J if that makes any difference I will post it here.<br />
So in a nutshell, very happy with the confedance these tires provide.

I bought the e·Primacy because the Primacy 4 was out of stock. <br />
Overall, I’m satisfied—they’re quiet and the handling feels good. <br />
While tests suggest the wet grip is a bit weak, I’ve never felt unsafe during my daily commute or grand touring. <br />
Wear is minimal, and they look like they’ll last 50,000 km. <br />
That said, I’ll probably go with the Primacy 4 next time. After all, you can never have too much wet grip.

Had many tires! These may have been one of the best for all round utility. They replaced a 2018 year Turanza and the comfort level soared...so much nicer over speedbumps!! The wear is very impressive too. Been waiting for them to go down in order to replace but still a good 3mm plus left. <br />
<br />
Did struggle in that brief late winter snow/ice episode on icy hill, though suspect most summer tires would, - Anyhow, I have elected to now move to Conti PremiumContact7 as this seems to be the "in tire". Driving back from the fitters I can tell these are firmer, (but promising).

After 3 years they are very hard and uncomfortable. A descent tire with good braking performance -a lot better than previous FALKEN SINCERA SN832. I would try a newer tire if found in reasonable price else I would buy them again
