Passenger Car Summer Ultra High Performance Tires Tire Review Highlights
Maxxis Premitra HP5 rated 90% while driving a MG Mg 3
Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 spirited miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 spirited miles
Very good dry and wet grip in terms of acceleration braking and handling.also when using in minus 5 degrees dry or slightly damp roads yes when ice is possible. Going more easy was still grippy so then pushed on some more even on roundabouts and still gripped very well and felt safe. Which I was impressed with as these are summer tires not winter or all season tires .so wasn't expecting tires I was already impressed with to be safe at these conditions also .final verdict very good capable tires.

They handle well, have good wet grip and excellent dry grip for my slow car however the wear was quite fast.
Although they are very reliable all the way to the wear limits, would only buy again if fitting to a car I don't drive much.

I am in the middle of my second season with these tires, so I have my first conclusions. The tires, despite their name, are not sports tires. They are definitely soft and comfortable tires, guaranteeing very high safety on wet surfaces and sufficient on dry surfaces. In my case, tire wear is 1 mm per 8 thousand km traveled. Depending on the mileage, it is worth answering whether this is a lot or little for us. Compared to my previous Firestone Roadhawk, comfort and noise have significantly improved at the expense of wear and handling.
Z Max Zealion rated 72% while driving a Honda pilot

I bought these tires 245 / 50 R20 for my 2021 Honda Pilot Black Edition - quite frankly because they were the least expensive tires on the market. It's been a week today since install, I've already put over 1000Kms highway on the them with some inner city driving as well. So far, I'm impressed with them, the ride is generally the same as the stock touring tires I replaced. With the exception of a little tiny bit bumpier of a ride, Barely noticeable. The cornering performance is great, dry weather is fantastic, they handle the rain like any other much more expensive tire and they were cheap! cost break down for 4 new Zmax Zealion tires for my Honda Pilot with install was $680 Canadian all in. I 100% could have purchased two sets of these tires for the cost of one set of any other brand on the market. As I am in a northern climate I will not be driving with these on in the winter. I've already purchased a set of 4 ZETA ANTARTICA 6 tires and rims to swap out in the fall. (which are another good set of tires by ZETA).
Dunlop Sp Sport Maxx 050 rated 53% while driving a Honda ZR V SPORT e:HEV
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles

Extremely poor in terms of grip on wet roads. Dry road performance is better, but whenever you need to accelerate quickly from a standstill or low speed, you invariably experience significant wheelspin. Handling is good; you can drive it quickly through corners, and the steering feedback is also quite satisfactory. The tire tends to be loud on the motorway. If these tires weren't standard on a car from the factory, I would never choose them, given their characteristics.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 rated 85% while driving a Alfa Romeo 4C

Review based on track experience. Replaced P Zeros. 500’s have better grip and feedback but less agility. I tried Michelin 4S but the 500’s felt better than this “super” tire. The 4S lacked grip, feedback, felt mushy, and was slower on track.

This tire is soft. It has got Shinobi tech. Unbeliveable comfort. Noise is minimum level. I will buy for honda jazz again. If you are looking silince and comfort, this tire is best.

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.

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.

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.

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.
