Summer Ultra High Performance Tires

I have these tires on my new Toyota. They are comfortable and quiet, but the wet grip is very poor. On wet roads and in the rain, they slide a lot and provide very little traction. Disappointing performance in wet conditions. Disappointing for a premium tire. It might be acceptable for a mid-range tire, but I expected much better performance from a premium brand.

Comfort at the same time feel rigid and firm on certain area of uneven road i.e zebra yellow line, small pothole. Grip very good during cornering and very planted during speeding.

After 10,000 km, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 Energy is one of the best set-and-forget tires I have tried—it handles grip, high-speed stability, and noise so effortlessly across all weather conditions for daily driving with occasional spirited driving. While it does get slightly noisier as it approaches 10,000 km, tire noise remains very well controlled overall without any harsh cabin drone. Energy efficiency is good for a UHP tire, achieving ~12X Wh/km on a typical 20 km commute of 80% highway and 20% city traffic. The only area where you're left wanting more is ride comfort, as it can feel a bit firm over sharp bumps and rough road seams.

Just looking around for replacements in a couple of thousand miles. Unless I hear outstanding reviews from other Elroq owners I'm going to stick with Kumho Ecsta PS71 EV and stick with the different width/ profiles front and rear. These Kumhos have completely out performed the Bridgstones I had on my ID.3 - I coudln't wait to get rid of them when they had to be replaced at 8,000miles.

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.

stock tire. exceptional wet handling but consumes 20 percent more under heavy rain. silent tire. i am not shure how these will act on ice. i do not expect miracles. these are summer tires.

Wet Grip: horrible. No matter what, even on a damp road, the tires spin when you set off.
I haven’t tried pushing them in corners when damp or wet, because I can tell that it wouldn’t end well.
Dry Grip: it’s okay. Nothing more than that.

Noise: there is a good deal of road noise in the cabin.

The tires have been absolutely brilliant in my opinion. So far, the tires have performed way above their price point, and would definitely choose them again.

These are terrible. I still had 7/32 inch after almost 20k miles, but switched them out as my daughter drives this car and they are terrible in the wet.
