Performance Analysis

Across four summer tests, the Hifly HF805 consistently trails the field, with average finishes deep in the pack and multiple last-place results. Wet performance is a clear weakness, with bottom rankings in braking and handling and sizable gaps to the best. Dry performance is also below par, though typically slightly less deficient than wet. The tire's main advantage is low purchase price, but it does not offset significant safety-relevant deficits.
