Owners most consistently praise the Goodyear Excellence for dry grip, with comfort and relatively quiet running also receiving more praise than criticism. Wet grip is generally well regarded but less consistent, with roughly one in eight reviews reporting shortcomings. Longer-term accounts range from good life to early replacement, and around one in five reviews criticise wear. Noise complaints appear in about one in nine reviews despite the broader positive balance. Repeat reviewers have mixed experiences rather than a shared trend, so there is no consistent ageing pattern to describe.

The sidewalls seem to bliseter out if you touch a kerb or drive through a pothole (which is unavoidable on British roads these days). They seem to perform reasonably well in dry and wet, but becuase of the blisters I have to replace them to maintain the roadworthiness of my Megane. The comfort is sub standard - you really know what surface you're driving on.
ive had two sets of these tires now and ive got to be honest and say these tires are brilliant. they have great grip in both dry and wet and are excellent against aquaplaning. ive had many set of tires over the years and these are one set i cant really fault. the ride is excellent, they are very quiet and very smooth. i would have liked a few more miles out of a set but thats only a minor niggle. i do a mixture of driving from motorways to country lanes and most of the time im quite a brisk driver and these tires are very progressive near the limit. they have lots of grip and very quiet so suit sporty saloon cars perfectly. but if your after pure traction then go for the f1 assymetrics.

It seems to have good tires instaled on my car. It's 3 years I drove Goodyear. Change with snow ones in winter, otherwise, it sleap on snow the summer one. Good luck.
Very good choice. I have it on my Passat B5.5, they are excellence! On my front axle I have Excellence (made in Germany) and they are so good. On my back axle there are Excellence (made in Slovenia) and they are bit low...But they handle very well, excellent performance in dry and wet, on snow very bad, and I will buy them again, for sure. All recomendations.
I'm from South Africa and the roads is bad.......... yet I did 50,000 km with my first set on a Honda Accord. I am very impressed and will now fit four new Goodyear Excellence tires on my Honda Accord. WELL DONE GPPDYEAR!!
