235/40 19 Tire Review Highlights
Pirelli P Zero Winter rated 44% while driving a Porsche 992 Carrera 4S
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 spirited miles
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 spirited miles
I drive a 992 Carrera 4S in the Pacific Northwest. I'm using the Porsche OEM version of this tire (N-rated). In the snow I've had no problems with grip, under normal fairly cautious driving. But that is where the benefits of this tire end for me. In the dry or damp, the handling feels unpredictable in bends in a way I've never had before, like the grip limits are far lower but it's hard to sense at what speed or how it will behave. In the wet, these are abysmal. I've had ABS kick in under just slightly harder-than-usual braking. On a slightly damp surface (a couple hours after rain), a friend with the same car but on summer tires (in 37F / 3 C weather!) did a hard 0-60 at a highway entrance without issue - I was behind him and tried the same, but got wheel spin and wheel hop as the AWD scrabbled for traction. I'll also add that the rubber on the sidewalls appears to be breaking down, the tires are 2.5 years old and have always lived indoors.
If your winter is mostly snowy, these are not bad, but if you get mild rainy winters with minimal snow, like the PNW, I'd avoid these.

This is an exceptional tire, hard to break traction in the wet or dry. Comfortable, confident and long lasting for a performance tire.
Hankook iON Evo rated 61% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR

It's a good quiet and comfortable tire for my EV, however the grip is quite limited compared to PS4 or PS5. A bit of an unfair comparison but I feel grip is the most important rather than comfort. Dry grip is just slightly above average, wet grip is average.
Was swerving to avoid an object on the road, the tire screeched loudly and provided just barely enough grip during that situation. If it was ps4 or ps5 in the same situation, there probably will not be any screeching and would have plenty of grip left over.

Been using this tire since October 2024, however during today balancing and Allignment check, 3pcs of the tire was bloated and unusable, need to replace new tire. Disappointed with Giti Tire. Defiantly will not buy again. Piece of junk product from China.
Michelin X Ice Snow rated 87% while driving a Lexus IS350

Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Very good tire for my 2023 Lexus is 350 . 19 inch tires for my car is expensive, so I went with my favourite brand Michelin . Did 7000 km on them , in Quebec, Canadian winters . So far I am very satisfied with the handling, grip in heavy snow and icy roads. Very comfortable ride , very quiet to. Almost no wear noticeable. I highly recommend these tires .
Bridgestone Turanza EL440 rated 53% while driving a Toyota Camry XSE AWD

These tires came stock on my 2023 camry xse awd. At first I loved them, they were quiet, comfy and handled good. My second season on them they got noisey as they wore down and wet handling got worse as you'd expect with wear. My biggest gripe is they don't last super long and are very expensive for how long they last. They are a tough tire though, never had any issues with potholes or anything and found out the hard way that toyotas oem rims will be damaged before the tire itself. They offer good performance but they just don't last and are too pricey. Got roughly 30k kms on them and they are worn down to the wear bars.
Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 rated 70% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR

Had these tire's fitted as stock from Tesla and they have been really good reliable tires. I don't have anything to compare them to on the Model 3, dry grip has been excellent but I have experienced times on wet roads where the cars stabilization control has taken over. Not sure if this is just an over aggressive stabilization control on the car though. The most impressive thing on this tire is the tread wear, it's just reached 70,000KM and there is still some treadwear left on them, I reckon they can go for another 5,000KM but given their age (5 years), I will get them replaced. Thank you Hankook for a safe 70,000KM's.
Continental TrueContact Tour 54 rated 86% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR

After premature wear on Pure Contact LS(lasted only 30K with normal spirited driving on Tesla M3 AWD), decided to give the newer version Tour 54, due to projected better wear. Initial drive was on light rain, with fantastic grip and subsyantially reduced noise(even without the noise absobing foam). Also found the handling to be much better with lower tire pressure in low 40s(psi), with very good cushioning. In general very happy with lower road nouse, better handling and comfort, with unexpectedly excellent wet road performance.

Unacceptable wear with even gentle city driving. 10000km and down to 2mm on front and 4mm on rear. Worst I have ever se n
Kormoran Kormoran UHP rated 77% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport

Having used these for 25k miles on an almost 2 ton car they have served me really well. Commute is 1/3 country roads, 1/3 A road and 1/3 motorway. After 2 years they are now reaching their wear indicator so very good durability. Dry grip is very good. Wet can be a little sketchy if the roads are greasy but pretty predictable. Resistant to most winter potholes, ie. no real damage after hitting a couple of decent sized craters. Will be replacing these with the same again next month.

Good overall tire, but not great, it's more towards eco with good range and low rolling resistance. Wet grip is not too good, but it's very progressive on the limit. Comfortable tires for daily use.
Hifly HF805 rated 56% while driving a Peugeot 508 SW 1.5 HDI GT LINE
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
These tires came with an used 2012 Peugeot 508 SW GT Line with relatively low mileage on them (I think less than 25000KM). The front tires I put new Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and these HiFly HF805 my tire shop recommended to put on the rear until I am ready to get matching Michelin tires. I drive short distance in the city and about 25-30KM on the highway regularly to commute and these tires are comfortable and handle well on dry roads. They also handle well even in heavy rain as long as I don't try to curve suddenly over 30KM/h. On dry road, my car can do a sharp curve with these tires at 50KM/h without losing control. However, on wet road, at 50KM/h the car started to look rear grip, swaying left and right strongly before I regained control. So I learned not to exceed 35KM/h on wet road when cornering. They did well on long distance driving, even at 150KM/h, without any instability. However, recently my car began to show a warning of low tire pressure on on side. I checked the tire pressure and it was a bit low, and I inflated all the tires to the correct level. However, less than a week later, the car showed a warning that the tire on the other side may be punctured or flat. I checked the other tire and it was a bit low but not flat. Fortunately I live close to a trusted tire shop and I took my car there. Initially we suspected it may be due to a nail puncture. However, as you can see in the photo, once he removed a tire, from the inner side, there are two visible crack on the sidewall! After he removed the other tire, it showed even a bigger crack on the inner side. I had been driving for most of my life and the many tires I used never exhibited such symptom. The cracks weakened the structural integrity of these tires and it will be a matter of them before they shred under high speed driving. I was lucky to have caught this in time.
Since my car has 19-inch wheels, good tires don't come cheap. I understand the reason why the previous owner put these on. They are less than 80 euros each, compared to say some mid-level brand like Nexgen which still cost 150 euros each. What I ended up replacing them is Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and they cost 220 euros each! But they can corner with no problem at 50km/h on wet road without causing the car to sway like a fishtail. They are also not going to have cracked sidewalls after 25000KM of driving.
