Hyundai i20 Tire Review Highlights
I had a mixed experience with these tires, in normal conditions they are average but when I require a bit more from them they completely fall apart, especially during emergency braking.
It lost traction 4 times at this point:
1 a few days after putting this tires on, I was going pretty fast (around 120km/h) and had to take an exit, I tried braking but it wasn’t enough so I increased the pressure on the pedal, at that moment I started sliding for like 4/5 seconds before I realised I wasn’t gonna make it and I was going towards the start of the guard rail, I immediately released the brake and went back on the main road. It was late at night, not that cold and it wasn’t raining, the road was a little wet though.
2 I was going at around 90km/h on a straight road, there was traffic on the other side and I saw at the last second a woman on a suv cutting me off, I immediately braked as hard as I could and I started sliding, luckily the woman saw me and left me enough space to pass. It was around lunch time, the road was dry, maybe a little dirty and it was pretty hot for the period, I think 7C° but I’m not completely sure.
3 I was going really fast and had to turn, I increasingly braked more until at around 70% of the brake pedal excursion it started sliding, at that point I had already figured out what to do and when it happens so I had all the time and space to let off the brake and gently press it again, I was already going much slower when I lost traction, the road was completely empty, straight and I could easily miss the turn and brake for longer is I needed to. It was late at night again, it was cold and the road was a little wet and dirty.
4 just yesterday I was going pretty fast keeping up with a Tiguan when two cars completely stopped in front of us because the first one had to turn and even though no one was coming from the other direction he waited a good 2 minutes, the Tiguan cut off the car that had to turn invading the other side of the road meanwhile I tried stopping behind the second car, I luckily had enough space to brake but at the last meter of braking, when I increased the pressure on the pedal to avoid hitting the car in front, I lost traction again but it didn’t matter much. It was early morning and there was some fog, so the road was wet and cold.
I really don’t notice and don’t care for the comfort and noise of the tires, if they can keep me on the road and safe it’s all that matters, I’d gladly trade more traction for more noise and a harder and more direct feeling of what’s the asphalt is like (I actually prefer a stiffer car, they turn better).
I used these tires for less than a 1000 miles so I can’t say anything about wear either.
What I can say is that they are obviously uncomparable to my summer tires, Michelin primacy 4, with those I could brake whenever and however much I wanted and the car felt like it was doing stoppies, planted to the ground, the only time they slided was in a tight curve at 80km/h when I run over a patch of dirt and i lost the rear end of the car.

They wear a lot and they got changed 2 times in only 8 months. So I changed them all to another brand.

These tires are dangerous on the wet even when brand new, im not sure what they did with them, but i am replacing them after only 1mm of use, i have conti ts870 in the front and these on the rear in a small fwd hatch and i have nearly crashed few times in short amount of time due to just sudden oversteer from these tires in the rear, there is no warning or progress they just let go, worst winter tires i ever had.

Changing from a recommended nokian wetproof with a rating over 9.5/10 passing 50000 KLM spirited with no problem on dry or wet roads (because of difficulty of shipping these tires from Ukraine) to Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 following the reviews here.
Briefly these tires are good for the 1st 12k miles now they're slippery without being worn, still I don't think I'll buy them again.

Good tire, holds well in both wet and dry conditions, precision and lateral grip surprisingly excellent. Encountered some snow and ice, no significant difference compared to previous winter tires.Manufactured in China, balancing went smoothly, durability remains to be seen. Overall, I am very satisfied, I did not expect such a good tire.

These were fitted all round on our Hyundai i20. Not a ball of fire by any means. Completed around 16k miles, fronts are down to min wear now, still give good grip and minimal noise. Rears are on around 4.5mm. driven on rough roads in the Welsh valleys with narrow streets requiring you to drive in gullys and close to the kerb. Motorway miles are quiet, a good tire which inspired confidence in a small car. Being replaced by an all season soon to suit our weather better.

I have read so many reviews where people said its a very quite tire but i found it to be very noisy as far as grip is concerned it is as good as my old goodyear tires.

i have this tires fitted on my car on 2019 and still have them for about 40000km in summer is to hot here and i do the most driving in highways and country roads with harsh surface tarmac and very hot temperatures on first 2 years i didn't know the right air pressure the tires need i had them low i think that damaged the front ones a little have some litle cracks comparing to back ones wich have very few cracks but I don't see wear at all. in havy pooring rain i drive fast to test the grip is amazing fuel economy is great this tires have low rolling resistance are in top 10

Been for 5000 kilometers I think it's a very balanced tire between wet and dry, I think you can safely push a normal car to the limit without any handling or breaking
problem.. I think I would buy it again

I have these tires from 2019 on Hyundai I20 2018 hatchback.. around 60.000 klm already.. recently they're becoming slippery probably because I drive fast all the time, on wet roads they were amazing.. driving on wet roads fast also and never had a problem in cornering or braking .. and I really enjoyed that.
When it comes to dry days , I have also enjoyed it..just they could be a slightly slippery but I also enjoyed it.
Briefly the best tires ever had on wet roads
On dry roads they do well but not the best

Great tires with great wet and dry grip but wears out faster if you are frequently driving enthusiastically on corners . Rest everything about the tire is great
