Excellent tires! - To be fair I have never have serious ultra high performance tires on my car so I can't compare to something like a Michelin Pilot sport 4 or Nitto NT05, I previously had Goodyear Eagle Efficient Grip and Pirelli Cinturato P7s on this car - these tires easily (and the difference is significant!) outperform these Goodyear and Pirelli in EVERY respect, they handle better in both wet and dry, are quieter, transmit fewer road bumps, have equal fuel economy and so far seem to have good wear characteristics. Would definitely recommend - they outperform every other budget tire I have ever put on any of my cars and we drive over 70,000 miles/ 115,000 klms) per year between the family so I have tried a few high AND low cost options!

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 Cruze drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Driving a Holden cruze hatchback in Australia. Original tires when I bought the car brand new in 2013. Mostly city/urban and freeway driving. Done 75,000Kms on it and finally replacing them. Not spirited driving as I like to take t easy. Grip is great during the dry season and very serviceable in the wet. Have punctured 2 since buying he car but throughout its life didn't give me much issues. I would have bought it again if it wasn't pricey as I was happy with the performance.
Quality is good but doesn't reflect the price in my opinion

These tires are worse than the bald Bridgstone I had previously on it.
Brand new, noisy, crap handling.

I know what top tires feel like and top tires are a dream. I bought a brand new car that had rockstone tires. I did not Google about rockstone before I drove so trusted what I had on my car. Naive I know. However I did not slow down. I drove hard and fast. Although I knew these tires were not the best in wet I thought they were ok tires. Long lasting. I overtook vehicles, drove new Zealand roads like I stole the car and felt fine. Maybe I'm a good driver. But after these reviews maybe I will change. 40000 km still 20000 to go maybe. No punctures.
Great set of tires. Operate much better than the Bridgestones I had on the car prior to buying the Pirellis. They are also great value for money, much cheaper than other leading brands.
Tire noise is less than the Bridgestones and the car has more grip in the dry. Wet weather driving is similar to Bridgestone.
I dry mostly on freeways/long trips many times on rough and hot roads. I've had these tires for 20,000 kms and they have no sign of wear whatsoever.
The previous Bridgestones already showed major signs of uneven tread wear at 5,000 kms.
If all Pirelli tryes are as good as these then I'm sold on Pirelli for life.
