Goodyear GT3 rated 51% while driving a Toyota Premio
Driving on mostly country roads for 22000 easy going miles
Driving on mostly country roads for 22000 easy going miles
Came factory fitted on my mom's Toyota Premio 2019
Did mantain properly with tire rotations, wheel alignments but a very non-uniform wear was seen through out the usage, tire shop workers said its a common issue of gt3 tires. (not sure)
Also, the compound might be too soft I got too many punctures than usual.
Lasted for like 30-35k under normal driving conditions in a tropical country. (definitely will be lower for most people as my mom drives kinda slow 30-60kmh)
Not really the best tire especially in terms of wear and durability cuz I had to go to tire shops for pressure checks, puncture repair so many times.(abnormally high number of damages)

I love these tires, bought my car with them, my car is over 4 years old with 90 000km's and the tires are close to being replaced now but not worn.
I've hit so many ugly potholes and where people got flat tires mine is still 100%.

Got 4 of these for a bargain due to ATS Euromaster offer and have had them for a few thousand miles so far.
Far better grip than the Triangle tires previously on the car. Acceleration, Braking and Cornering grip is superb in the dry, but in the wet, especially cornering grip, is surprisingly sub-par with some unexpected understeer on e.g. roundabouts in the wet and also on dry recently salted roads. Was quite surprised by that as Hankook Ventus and Goodyear Efficientgrip were much better and I expected similar from a top-tier brand like Michelin. Economy and NVH are on par with a premium tire, good but not mindblowing. Will be interesting to see how they wear over time as either they start off with a slightly lower tread depth than other tires I've used or they are wearing down quickly!

Very bad handling, car looses touch when in corners. Good on dry, bad on wet roads. Got them new on my Clio. Wouldn’t by them again. Poor even with my 1.2 engine. Understeering on wet is often.

I have on my car nokian weatherproof(5 years old) on the rear and seasonproof (2 yerars old)on the front and I am very pleased with nokian all season, I am living off grid and I go every day to work in the city about 6 km awai and back and I used the tires on snow ,ice,mud,weth and clay roads, etc, and I am very pleased haw they perfform on snow and ice.
Whit one ocasion I was with my front traction car and I must go up on road to the top of the hill in my way to home and a 4x4 Suzuky grand vitara not even able to start the climbing of the hill, after 1 hour when I went back to tawn, the suzuky was not able to move not even 1 meter I stop to help the guy to move awai his car from the road.
I bought a old dacia duster 4x4 and I will change the tires from the suv with nokian seasonproof because it is the best on snow and ice .
I live in a place with hills and mountains I never have a problem wih this tires.

The tornados give you really bad times when driving on wet roads, really dangerous in particular if you drive a rwd car. They also started deforming and vibrating after some time.
I am now on the way to replace them in order to have a driveable car during the winter.

Overall an excellent tire. Occasionally stones get stuck in the grooves and it being a softer compound, the groove is damaged a bit. But this is a very miniscule issue.

Coming from Continental's Eco Contact6 to these Pirellis, first impressions after a couple hundred km:
-Even though the Continentals were 4 years old and only ran for about 13k km during their lifespan, the dry grip was better than the Pirrelis, which I was not expecting.
Even so, I am satisfied with their performance
-Wet grip has improved, they seem very good so far, but I'm waiting to "measure" the performance when it gets cold outside. So far the temps here in Romania haven't dropped under 15c where I live
-Comfort: Noise is very good, but not as comfortable as the Continentals. Even so, I prefer lower noise and a harder tire. Steering feedback seems to have improved, but given the Dacia's weird steering system, this may be placebo.
-Haven't had the chance to test snow yet, nor icy roads
Overall I am satisfied with the purchase, and I'm looking to update this review once I get to spend some more time on them.
I'm also debating switching to these on my 4motion Passat

Goodyear Integrity rated 24% while driving a Toyota Prius
Driving on mostly town for 5 easy going miles
Driving on mostly town for 5 easy going miles
The worst tires that I have ever owned. They wore out in 14 months (they were fitted to our brand new car) and were horrible the entire time.
I complained numerous times to the dealership who called Goodyear each time and the Goodyear rep said that it had tone driving style. No, that is wrong, I was a professional driver for decades and never had any issue with any other tire.
They were unstable on the highway, the car would wander off to the left the the right with no steering input, back to the dealer who check the alignment and everything else they could think of and never found anything wrong.
I had a tire depth gauge because I also own classic cars that I restore as a hobby and used the gauge regularly each week because I could visually see that the tires had uneven wear.
Back to the dealer who checked alignment and everything else, and never found anything wrong but the wear was quite bizarre.
I accidentally heard the dealer talk to the regional Goodyear rep and they talked about a local restaurant so I asked and it turned out that the regional Goodyear office was barely 2 miles from my house so I got the address and went there.
The Goodyear rep was nice but did nothing for us at all, stating that some tires wear out faster and that some drivers are rough on their tires, no, I am not, this is definitely a problem unique to this tire.
I eventually got my point across and he let me walk into their warehouse where he showed me piles of thousands of Goodyear Integrity tires that had catastrophic failures, it was shocking to see so many thousands of failed tires piled up and the rep just shrugging his shoulders, not caring abut the failures.
Goodyear did nothing for us, they wore out 2 months after the warranty on the tires had expired (14 months, they only had a 12 month warranty) so Goodyear simply offered to mount a new set of Goodyear Integrity tires on our wheels if we paid full price for the tires.
No, that is just nonsense.
I left and purchased a set of Continental True Contact (now its the Continental True Contact Tour) which is fantastic, the car drives correctly, so it was obviously a tore problem, and we still have them on the car many years later proving that the driver was not at fault, the Continental tires are truly that much better.
Do not buy/use Goodyear Integrity tires, they are truly horrible and Goodyear has no integrity, they sold up an inferior product that is part of the safety system of our car and they did nothing to help us.

Continental UltraContact rated 60% while driving a Peugeot 1.4 HDi

I recently bought 4 of these to fit my 208, size 185/65 R15 T. They have a good grip on the dry. I have not tested them much on the wet but so far they feel safe too. They also are quiet in a relaxed/city driving but somewhat noisy when driving at highway speed (above 100KPH). The problem with these tires is their sidewalls, wich are way too soft. That's why they are comfortable (more than my previous Michelin) but the feedback is very poor. Steering is vague and heavier and the car feels unstable when making fast steering/countersteering moves. They don't invite to a sporty driving at all, yes I know it's not their purpose but they should do much better, beeing "premium" tires. And because of those too soft sidewalls, they buldge a lot in the front, like if they are underpressurized, even if I overinflate them! It looks like the sidewalls are almost touching the ground... It's unpleasant to look at and I doubt very much that they are fuel saving because of that... Concerning the wearing, well I don't care at all because I will not have them on my car long enough to know. These Ultracontact are not worth their price tag if you want a sharp and agile driving. I expected much better from such a "premium" brand... Never again Continental.
