225/45 19 Tire Review Highlights
Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 rated 51% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 average miles
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 average miles
These Hankook tires came with my Model Y. On 3 separate occasions the outer part of the tire has delaminated from the inner part causing a bubble in the tire. This leads to severe vibration so it is pretty obvious. Only solution is to replace the tire, which I've now done 3 times. In Scotland we have a lot of rough roads and pot holes so maybe that's why but I have never had this with any other vehicle or tire. Also, comfort I find to be awful. Compared to the Pirelli winter tires that I fit seasonally the Hankook is very harsh and uncomfortable over rough road surfaces. I'd steer clear unless you live in mainland Europe where there are no potholes.

Hey ALL, When I bought my VW T-ROC, it came with S001, the tire is fine when you are at a lower speed.
However, when you are on the highway, I mean the noise that tires make will drive you crazy.

These 225/45/19 Continental tires are not suitable for an X1. The comfort is basic and they are too stiff. The driving becomes too nervous. Very poor directional stability. The trajectory must be corrected regularly, even after having revised the alignment of the car. After 33,000 km, I have to replace them...
The original tires were Pirelli Cinturato P7. These tires are even worse. I had to replace them after only 21,000 km of discomfort.

It has definitely been a choice that improved the driving comfort of my car. I’m pleased with the road handling. I’ve had the chance to drive around 3,000 km without experiencing any issues. With my B-segment SUV, I can now take turns more easily, and I’m satisfied with the braking distance. Both dry and wet grip have shown a significant improvement for me. The performance and safety level of my vehicle have definitely increased. I haven’t noticed a difference in fuel consumption compared to my previous tires yet. Although the suspension of my B-segment SUV is medium-firm, I feel less impact from bumps and potholes on the road, and I can notice the difference in comfort. I haven’t had the chance to try it on snow or icy roads, but I’m confident it will perform well.
Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport rated 79% while driving a Skoda Karoq 2.0TSI 4x4 Sportline

These tires were fitted to my car from new, and replaced after 20,000 miles due to the tread wearing away on the outside edges. They gripped well, surprisingly so in winter and on snow, and gave precise steering, but suffered from tire noise on some road surfaces, and a harsh ride.

I bought these tires to replace the Bridgestone Dueler summer tires fitted by Skoda as after 20,000 miles these had worn significantly on the outer edges of the tread.
After a 1,000 miles, they seem to be more comfortable and quieter, but the extra tread depth seems to have the side effect of making the steering slightly less precise. I haven't detected any change to fuel consumption, or grip, but now the temperatures are dropping I expect them to have more grip on winter roads.

I drove these with my Venza and only got like 7000 miles on them. Only realized they were worn after they started skidding in light rain

These have been a great tire. Still have life left but having to change as NSF has worn down due to alignment. They've taken me throughout Europe and all over Switzerland in the snow, no issues with grip whatsoever. I even slid into a curb, mangling the Alloy but no damage to tire at all. I've hit pot holes that would have destroyed a summer tire (from experience with Dunlop SportMaxx), but these has been perfect and survived without issue.
Would fit again if the price hadn't gone up £100+ per tire.
In comparison to the original Michelin Pilot Sport and Dunlop Sport Maxx it's had, there is definitely less wet and dry grip but that was expect being an all season but not to a detrimental level.
Noice wise, in Europe these are pretty much silent on the motorway. In the UK: M25 it's unbearable (due to road surface). General M6, M4 not really an issue.
Wear has been 27,000 over 2 years, could keep the 3 going for another few thousand miles if I wanted as they're at about 3mm but the alignment of my wheels has taken the one down to 2mm.

I've had these tires put on twice on the front (15000) and one on the back so (30000) still have a bit left in the back.
No complaint, but am trying a different brand now trying to get a few more miles out of the front tires.

Bridgestone Potenza Sport rated 70% while driving a Mazda 6

TL;DR Great tire with a huge amount of dry/grip and excellent road feedback. Wear rate and noise is very high. Ride is firm.
This is my second review on TireReviews.com. My past tires on my 2017 (2018 for the Americans) Mazda 6 were a slightly-upsized 235/45/19 Yokohama V701. I've always been a fan of unidirectional and symmetrical tires, so the Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires were a departure from my previous bias.
For context, the Potenza Sport in my car's stock size was some 30% cheaper than the usual Michelin/Continental competitors, and just 5% more expensive than my prior set of Yokohamas. These prices are for Singapore, and for the record, temperatures range from 30-40 degrees Celsius all year round, and we get rain pretty often (50% chance throughout the year).
These tires GRIP. Whether its wet or dry, the confidence inspired by the Potenza Sports were always high. The stiff sidewalls translated to excellent feedback through the steering and I never once felt like the car would come loose. When it was dry and traffic was clear, the tire never failed to plant a smile on my face and it felt like I could never reach the tire's limits on public roads. In the wet, traffic tends to slow to a crawl in Singapore, but of the few times I had fun when it was raining here, the tire would still track very confidently around bends.
Now the negative feedback. The tires were fairly noisy even when new. And whilst the stiff sidewalls translated to excellent steering feedback and response, the ride was noticeably harsher and firmer.
As others have noted on this website, the wear rate is VERY high. I drove this car for 25k km (16k miles) when my car was 5 years old to 7.5 years old. At 7 years-old and my tires were at the 20k km (12k miles) mark, my independent mechanic (who does not sell tires) noted that my inside treads might not pass our local vehicle inspections (similar to UK's MOT, and our's is conducted biennially from the car's 3rd year onwards). For the record, I did manage to pass the test, thankfully.
I always had my car's tires rotated regularly at 6 months regardless of distance, and the wear rate was quite a surprise. I've attached a photo of one of my front tires at its end-of-life (2.5 years or use and at 25k km) and you can see that the inside tread is already at the treadwear indicators.
To be fair, I am running aftermarket camber bolts to for -1.5 degrees camber in the front. But to go back to my usual bias, I'm not able to do a proper cross-rotate to even out the inside tread for asymmetrical tires, which is a bit of a shame. If your car is running stock/less aggressive camber, I daresay you could eke out perhaps another 6k miles (10k km) out of the tire.
Due to the high wear rate, I've gone back to my old tire (Yokohama V701). My local tire shop gave me a very good price for the new set, so I'm happy to head back. Plus the V701's more relaxed nature probably suits the Mazda 6 better. I do miss the much better feedback and grip of the Bridgestone Potenza Sport, but the high wear rate was definitely a concern, despite its reasonable pricing.
