Passenger Car Summer Ultra High Performance Tires Tire Review Highlights
Radar Dimax R8 plus rated 18% while driving a BMW 135i
Driving on mostly motorways for 200 average miles
Driving on mostly motorways for 200 average miles
These came on a BMW 140i I purchased from a dealer. They are not performance tires, were absolutely lethal and made the car feel unsafe at anything above 100KPH. You felt like the car was a boat wallowing from side to side. They made me feel sick. Changing lanes was a frightening experience and they ruined the cars handling. They also caused the traction control light to flash and cut in on the lightest of bends. For anything with the remotest power buy proper tires. These are not good.
Nexen N Fera SU1 rated 37% while driving a Infiniti M
Driving on mostly town for 18500 easy going miles
Driving on mostly town for 18500 easy going miles
I have this on my recently bought Infiniti M35H, i didnt put them on it came with this tires. All i can say is in curves it feels kinda bad, the car looses grip and u have to take either the curve so slow or to wide or u loose traction. Im gonna change them for a Falken Azenis FK520 in a few days. Also i think these tires dont work well with so heavy cars like mine.
Hifly HF805 rated 51% while driving a Lexus IS250 RWD
Driving on mostly town for 14000 spirited miles
Driving on mostly town for 14000 spirited miles
I’ve been using the Hifly HF805 tires on my Lexus IS250, and while they offer reasonable performance for a budget tire, there are some clear trade-offs. Grip levels are decent in both dry and wet conditions—nothing exceptional, but enough to feel safe for everyday driving. Road noise and comfort are also acceptable.
That said, the downsides are hard to ignore. The most noticeable issue has been how quickly these tires wear down. Tread life is significantly shorter than expected. I have only done just over 20,000 km on these tires, and the treads have dropped to just above the legal minimums. I would have normally put this down to my more spirited driving, but the front tires have worn away just as quickly as the rears. In addition, I’ve noticed that they tend to lose air pressure faster than normal. I’ve had to top them up more frequently than I would with other brands, which can be a hassle as the tire pressure light is almost always on.

Yokohama Advan Sport V105 rated 77% while driving a Ford Fiesta ST200
Driving on mostly town for 16 average miles
Driving on mostly town for 16 average miles
I’m very happy with these tires — I think they’re the only model I’ve ever bought more than once. Previously, for comparison, I had the Michelin PS4, which I found to be good only during the first half of their life. After that, their performance dropped off significantly.
These tires have great dry grip. They do need a bit of heat to work well, but this is only really noticeable in winter. I like that they are not easy to overheat and don’t lose performance even on twisty roads as the kilometers add up. The sidewall is stiff, and the steering response is precise.
I can’t comment on wet grip because it hardly ever rains in my area, and when it does, I drive more cautiously.
These tires offer a “good life” — and by that I don’t just mean longevity, but also that the grip loss as the tread wears down is very gradual and predictable.
On the downside, they are a bit harsh over bumps, but that’s about it.
These tires have great dry grip. They do need a bit of heat to work well, but this is only really noticeable in winter. I like that they are not easy to overheat and don’t lose performance even on twisty roads as the kilometers add up. The sidewall is stiff, and the steering response is precise.
I can’t comment on wet grip because it hardly ever rains in my area, and when it does, I drive more cautiously.
These tires offer a “good life” — and by that I don’t just mean longevity, but also that the grip loss as the tread wears down is very gradual and predictable.
On the downside, they are a bit harsh over bumps, but that’s about it.

I've done 1,500 kilometers on these tires and so far they've performed wonderfully, both in dry and wet conditions. I haven't had any problems. Obviously, I haven't pushed them to their limits and I don't think I will. In normal driving, there are no complaints. On the contrary, what surprises me most is their smoothness. When going over speed bumps, potholes, etc., it's wonderful, it's as if I had installed the best shock absorbers.

Made in Japan - need I say more… Installed on a Merc with a tricky DCT that causes the fronts to break traction as it dumps the clutch. Car came with Conti EcoContact 6 (treacherous tire), tried a pair of ContiSportContact 5, and then a pair of Michelin PS5. These Toyos are by far the best off the line, and give great road feedback and handle well for their class.

Been using this tire for about 2 years. This is a well balance tire for my car's daily/spirited setup. Mostly downtown commute and once or twice a month burning the carbon they say. Front -2.5 camber and -1 camber for rear. FWD and about 1.3Tons.
Great traction for high speed corners with mid bumps (highway expansion joints), abit lackluster in hard trailbraking. Tires are easy to regain traction if you jump midway through the bends. Yes I've jumped multiple times during mid corner and tires pick traction back up predictably. Please do bear in mind my daily commute is also like a race track XD. Surprisingly well behaved during wet as well. The tires will provide a little vibration tingling through your steering when its about to lose traction. That's what I felt on these tires weirdly. My other previous tires didn't. Easy to control during understeer. Good breaking during dry. Tires are noisier than Advan Fleva so do keep that in mind. If you're on a budget, you won't be disappointed in them. Just don't expect them to be like proper UUHP or better than Advan Fleva(10% better overall). I would buy this again no doubt if I'm on a tight budget.

Driving on mostly town for 10000 easy going miles
Came fitted to the front wheels of a used Sharan. 4.5mm tread. Wheel alignment good.
Truly awful tires although they taught me to be a much gentler city driver.
Wheel spin pulling away from lights and junctions.
ESG engaged during moderate acceleration on less than perfect roads.
Massive understeer around corners
Drifting on roundabouts.
Car felt unstable at motorway speed.
All of above amplified by a factor of five with any moisture in road.
Reluctant to stop in wet.
Not issues usually associated with a diesel mpv!
Swapped out for a set of good year's and all issues resolved.

Fitted to my 520d MHT touring at 24,426 to replace the OEM which had failed an MOT. I have covered a further 30,000 and replaced with with Nexen. See below is a photo of the tire removed. Fitter said could have done more miles!. Ride and handling better than RFT and comfort too. Wear is very uniform and no punctures or bulges. I do check them weekly and keep the recommended pressure correct.

After 15k km or so of street driving, I took the car these are on to my first ever autocross event. These tires held up extremely well for being an over 300tw tire. They jumped about 6psi when they got hot, but they held a consistent pressure once they were hot. Dropped them 5-8 psi at all corners and they were happy and consistent; no sidewall rollover and neutral, linear handling. They don't show any major damage from the event, but they probably will be lucky to get another 10k or so from them. I'm not sure I can blame that on the tires though, as the last 3 sets of other brands I've had on the car have also only lasted about 30k at most. They are pretty noisy after a while though and they tend to scallop the inner edge a bit.

Very good in wet conditions as expected, but also seem responsive and precise in the dry. Comfortable and relatively quiet.

Only had these tires for a couple of weeks but what I immediately noticed was the noise. I changed my winter tires with these expecting a more quite ride. What I got was a noticeable perceived increase in noise levels. They sound like they are easily 3db (double the noise) above my winter tires in loudness. I haven't tested it with a db-meter since it could be a difference in tone as well. Otherwise they handle well and I feel confident with them on the roads.
