The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Nice and pointy in the dry and wet, though wet grip tailed off sharply near end of life. Would hold line and if needed, had excellent and immediate response to mid corner adjustment. Braking excellent though there was always a slight pause initially till the tire warmed that wasn't there with 003's.
Millage disappointing, as only got round 30k and had expected them to outclast 003's. (28k)
Overal a very enjoyable tire and would definitely buy again
Good grip initially but dropped off quickly as the tire wore down. Loses traction very easily when accelerating from a stop in the wet. Dry grip is good. Handling in the wet is good. They are stiff so comfort is sacrificed.
I have mixed feelings about this tire because they deliver what promised but they develop flat spot overnight and this is quite disappointing, not expecting this issue with a top tire. Grip and road feedback is great on dry roads not driven yet on wet, noise level and fuel consumption same as my previous tires: CSC7, Michelin PS5
Not regretting buying the tires but just disappointed with the overnight flat spots.
PS: Sidewall design is awful:)
Great tire for snowy winter conditions, driven through lots of snow and no issues whatsoever

Absolute rubbish. Typical chinga tires.
Bought a new daily driver and some fool fitted these death-trap rubber bands. Changed for RE003s. A night and day difference.
What a waste of rubber.
Figured I might as well review these tires which were fitted by the previous owner after switching to a set of Michelin PS5. For daily easy-going driving, these tires are perfect adequate. The grip level is decent in both the dry and wet, nothing spectacular but would be perfectly fine for most people. For on the limit, spirited driving, they break into understeer quite quickly, and the is 0 steering feel, little to no steering feedback, but that's not what theyre for ultimately. Comfort is good, and they are pretty quiet. Since I enjoy spirited driving I ended swapping out these tires, but for most people who don't drive with their pants on fire, these are a perfectly safe and adequate choice to go for.
Now I've only had these tires fitted for a little over a week so take my review with a pinch of salt, but I feel like I have driven the car enough to give a brief review of how they feel. Firstly - the grip. I've heard lots if great things about how grippy these tires are and they are very much true. You can carry lots of speed into corners and they'll just grip up and go round them without any hassle. The difference is especially noticeable coming from the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus fitted by the previous owner. The steering is quite sharp, with very little hesitation and slip when you turn in. The level of grip in both the dry and wet is very impressive and confidence inspiring. They also very comfortable and quiet for daily driving which again is impressive considering the performance. Can't comment on wear since I've only had them for so little time. The only drawback, like many have mentioned is the feedback. For a sporty tire it really doesn't provide a lot of feedback and feel back to the driver. Yes, the steering is sharp and the grip is incredible, but I definitely wished there was more feedback provided. Still, considering how good of an all rounder the PS5s are, I can still easily recommend them.
I'm pretentious where many might be not. So the noise for me is a huge dissapointment, I should have known but I just didn't think clearly before buying, other winter tires can get to 69 DB, this one is 72 DB for my tire spec size. And it's LOUD inside the cabin compared to my continental efficientgrip summer tires.
Other than that, snow, rain are very good. Feels safe even at 160-200 km/h. Comfort is kinda lower than a summer tire for me and it feels softer when steering.
It does the job done but.... one tire cracked for me, and I didn't hit ANYTHING and very low mileage maybe no more than 4000 kms, so I just changed that one tire but it definitely gives me a bad and cheap feel about them right now, scary actually. I hit some car breaking holes with the summer tire and no issues so that's what I'm comparing with.
The noise just makes me regret them so much though :(, I might end up selling them, that bad for me, but they were pretty pricey so I might just be stuck with them as I don't wanna lose too much money on them. 100 Euros per tire and I had higher expectations from the reviews.
Had these tires for 5.5 years and 55,000 kms on a Honda Accord Euro CL9 225/45r17 wheels doing regular suburban driving and the occasional long weekend road trips interstate. Rotations, balancing and alingment were done every 10k kms. The tires started to go bald at 45000kms, with improving dry grip. For a low horsepower/low torque car the tires are very stable, good wet and dry grip - didnt slip or hydroplane, good cornering stability, decently quiet and good at absorbing road bumps and imperfections.
I would have preferred if they lasted 65000km, but I'm not fussed as they did give me 5.5years out of them.
switched from primacy 4's to these out of necessity.. to put it lightly these tires feel downright unsafe in relatively any condition
