OEM tire on 2025 Lexus ES350. Slight vibration at highway speeds always seemed to be present. Especially annoying on long drives (10+ hours). Rotated every 5000 miles and had tires balanced at dealer twice with marginal improvement. Finally took the car to a tire dealer with road force machine and two tires failed miserably > 50 lbs with target spec 15 or less - with out-of-round hump visible with naked eye. Also at 18k visit to tire dealer, noticeable wear due to out of alignment even with dealer inspection, oil change and tire rotation every 5000 miles. Tire shop recommends switching to Toyo
I have these on a Mazda CX-30 that I use as a commuter car, and I have these on the car for 8-9 months a year. Grip is fine in the dry and wet. The road noise is pretty bad. Very noticeable when driving on anything other than brand new asphalt.
Original tires, rotated every 10k km with mostly highway driving with frequent heavy rainfall.
Dry performance wasn't bad, but not outstanding, able to handle gentle curves at speed and all the acceleration from a humble Camry.
Wet performance was adequate for gentle driving but did not inspire any confidence in hard braking or acceleration from stop, let alone cornering. Understeer was almost a given in any curve above moderate speed.
Road feel was communicated too well, to the point of harshness. Every crack and imperfection in the road, any patched bits or grooving were immediately felt and heard, and even 2 cm dips in the road around manholes would rattle the cabin. I had to become very familiar with every road imperfection on my commute and how to avoid them.
Winter performance was out of the question. Any unsalted patch of frost on the road would cause loss of traction.
Mileage was consistently between 5.6L/100km and 7.3L/100km on the same stretch of highway and street when driven very gently and very spiritedly, respectively.
Replaced at 46k km with 4 mm of tread left due to worsening wet weather performance.
These tires came stock on my 2023 camry xse awd. At first I loved them, they were quiet, comfy and handled good. My second season on them they got noisey as they wore down and wet handling got worse as you'd expect with wear. My biggest gripe is they don't last super long and are very expensive for how long they last. They are a tough tire though, never had any issues with potholes or anything and found out the hard way that toyotas oem rims will be damaged before the tire itself. They offer good performance but they just don't last and are too pricey. Got roughly 30k kms on them and they are worn down to the wear bars.
This tire came with my 2023 Mazda CX 30. The tire has precise steering specially on dry roads. It can take turns around corner with minimal understeer and easily steer car back in a straight line with ease. However, on wet driving, there is a slight increase in understeer and have to let off the accelerator to minimize understeer around corners. Noise is more noticeable when speed is increased on highway driving and a noticeable humming on smooth asphalt road and more grumbling on a slight rough road surface. Hydroplaning is noticeable at speed of 50 mph on a rain downpour as the rear end with slight fishtailing. Bump are felt harshly even on shallow plate holes on the road and was concern that it may damage the tire sidewall but luckily did not have that problem. So, try to avoid potholes, even shallow ones, as there is a higher risk of tire puncture. I cannot comment on how it handles in cold, snowy weather as I live in sunny Florida. The tires has seen 11,000 miles on it and have notices also that there is an increased in road noise. Apparently as tire aged, more road noise is present. Will I repurchase this tire again? Most likely not. There are better tires with much better performance, less road noise, comfortable ride and better treadwear.
I read the comments and the evaluation and apart from the noise which increases with wear everything is acceptable, except they are very expensive for the performance $432.00 in Canada

This tire came with our 2021 Mazda CX30. The car seemed to handle/ride somewhat sloppily, a surprise from experiences with previous Mazda ownership.
A dealership alignment emproved the car somewhat, but although it still did not match up to my other two cars, or my previous Mazda ownership experience. At 20k+ mileage 1 tire sucked a nail, I went a local tire dealer for an evaluation/repair, and it was deemed destroyed, but replaceable for $311.00, but none were in stock. This gave me the opportunity to check internet reviews of this tire. The most respected customer reviews rate this tire at no higher than 1-1/2 stars. All other tires are rated no lower than 3. I plan to put a set of Continentals on the car and see if there's any true Mazda fun in it.
These oem tires came on 2021 Lexus ES and are without a doubt the WORST tires I have ever had. They became extremely noisy at 10k and now are down to the wear bars at 20k. Dealer told me this is normal for these but I cannot believe that Lexus would put such poor quality tire on their products. After researching a replacement tire they have been replaced with Pirelli P7 AS plus3's and the car drives/rides/handles like it did when new. Do yourself a favor and do not purchase this tire for your vehicle...I wouldn't put these jokes on a covered wagon!
OEM Tire on a 22' Mazda 3. Quite possibly the worst tire I've had on a car, and I've had some bad economy tires before.
As a performance tire, dry traction is mediocre at best. Breaking traction with a measly 170whp is suspiciously easy. Driving on these tires in the rain feels a bit like driving on snow; both times its equally scary. Sidewalls are pretty soft, yet somehow they manage to translate a lot of bumps in the road, and quite a bit of road noise aswell. Not impressive either way honestly.
As a commuter tire its not great either, they've managed to survive 38k miles (rotated every oil change) but they're on the wear bars for sure. All in all they don't come close to justifying the price point.
