Kia Motors Cerato 2019 · 225/45 R17 · 42 781 km
★★★★☆

<p>I have been on the Primacy series since 2021. Coming from Pilot Sport to Primacy, it was much more comfortable and quieter. The primacy is also very lasting. I have been on the Primacy 4 and 5 for 5 years now, I do about 19K miles a year so the primacy is a good balance between price, comfort and safety.</p>

★★★★☆

<p>Heavy electric car. These have been excellent once worn in. Quieter, smoother and they've tightened the steering considerably. The stiffer tyre suits this car as the suspension is under damped and needs stiffer tyres to force the compression to do it's job. Definitely recommend and will fit same again.</p>

Lexus CT200h · 245/45 R20 · 8 047 km
★★★★☆

<p>Difficult to compare to my older tires because not only the tire but the car is new to me. My initial thoughts are that this a touring tire for comfortable, quiet and fuel efficient long drives. It is not the best in dry handling and stoping - just average but good and secure enough in wet and aquaplaning. The car is not sporty but comfort oriented, so these tires are good mach for it. Maybe I will try PS4S or PS5 next year but if they sacrifice too much of the comfort I will not. I had a Stelvio Quadrifoglio until now, so I know what a UHP tires means. Have been using Pirelli PZero and Conti SportContact 7 for summer and Pirelli PZero Winter 2 and Conti WinterContact TS870P for winter. All of them perfect besides the TS870P. The worst winter tire ever. Maybe they made some mistake at the factory with the compound during covid shit ??? It was awfully hard/firm and unresponsive on ice and snow.</p>

Citroën C5 X hybrid 225 · 205/55 R19 · 4 828 km
★★★☆☆

<p>I’ve just fitted these tyres to my Citroën C5 X plug-in hybrid, and I’m a little disappointed. They feel comfortable enough, but they make an incredible amount of noise on certain types of road surface. Since I bought the C5 X primarily for its comfort and quietness, I’m already looking for replacement tyres.</p>
