I bought my car with these fitted, and going from yokohama tires on my old car to these were horrible. The rear end would slip out on corners in dry conditions if i attempted to accelerate through the corner. There’s no warning that the tires are going to slip either so i just assume i have little to no traction at all times. In wet weather it’s even worse, acceleration over the white line at lights causes the tires to lose traction instantly. Driving in wet conditions with these tires is terrifying. I would not recommend anyone to get these tires they’re straight up dangerous.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Holden Commodore drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Great value for money sports tire, with very good grip levels in the dry and wet. Vastly reduced hydroplaning frequency, and has the ability to take sharp corners at much higher speeds compared to lesser brands. Some increased tire noise compared to more expensive brands. Highly recommended for the price point.
Bought our 2018 Commodore with a new set of Supercats. These are the worst tires I've ever used in the wet (that includes a used set of Triangle tires), the slightest touch of the accelerator spins the wheels. When cornering in the wet you can't touch the accelerator as this will send you sliding into oncoming traffic. Dry weather is fine. They seem to have long life. Can't wait to get rid of them.
Absolute worst tire you can buy. Lasted 12,000km on my commodore. The only good thing about them is the way they look. Bought them 2 years prior for close to $1000 and only did 6000km a year with them and I was told by multiple reputable companies that they were bald and out of shape. Drone is absolutely out of this world. Hydroplaned the whole way in the wet and could feel the feedback in the steering wheel the whole time. Still drove the car as I needed it for work but heart rate was through the roof the whole time and focus was absolutely essential. DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES, ABSOLUTE RUSBBISH BY FEDERAL. Used to have the Couragias on my 4x4 and they never let me down - don’t know how they thought they’d survive.
Dont buy these tires if you value your family's saftey extremely dangerous in the wet even front of car will slide they shouldnt be able to sell them got rid of them with 80 percent tread left waste of money
These were new replacement tires on a vehicle I bought- all in all for a budget tire they are ok- handling in wet and dry seems sufficient
Don't know about longevity yet
They are a harder compound so not the softest ride , but not awful
Worth a try if you don't want to break the bank
2 days after i got them span out on the wet car at the wreckers wasn't going fast no grip in the wet
Hi. I’m running 245/45/18 xl on my Holden be sv6. Best tires I ever bought and they are a good price the grip in the wet and dry is awesome sticks to the corners like glue I find very little road noise from then and car handles awesome would buy them again anytime best tires I bought
They were a good tire suited the mixed driving that was done on them very well. Nothing too aggressive in their life as they were only on public roads. Right up until the replacement where sure footed in the dry, in the wet so long as you keep smooth loading they never missed a beat. Under two mm of tread in the wet they could with very little provocation let loose in the wet, too heavy footed through intersections etc.
Had them fitted to the rear of my Holden VE SV6. I live in Auckalnd, New Zealand. the rears wore out with in a year having them fitted (came fitted with vehicle when purchased). They're on a daily vehicle, driven to work and home 15-20min max driving, by the time I changed them. The majority of the tread was gone. Driving in the wet, felt like it was going to kick out on certain road surfaces, mainly the smoother roads it would slightly slide.
I've had budget tires on my vehicles over the years, these would have to be the worse due to them wearing out very fast and being dangerous in wet conditions. If you're on a tight budget, purchase at your own risk.
