245/40 19 Tire Review Highlights
Leao Nova Force rated 87% while driving a Opel insignia
Driving on mostly town for 8000 average miles
Driving on mostly town for 8000 average miles
I bought bigger 19 inch wheels for my car and i needed new set of tires. I went for a budget option since the premium brands ask too much for their products. The workshop recommended this set of LEAO NOVA FORCE, a brand unknown for me. The European testing put them on 16th place out of 50 selected tested tires. On highways i do not drive above 150 km/h, city maybe 80 km/h on some places but more often 50-60. My city has uphill and downhill streets. The tire is very quiet, the grip is more than satisfactory, on wet surface they handle well. The wear is just fine, no signs of extensive wear. My car is FWD with 140 hp engine manual gear so all the pressure is on the front tires. They exceeded my expectations for half the price of the premium brands. I will probably buy another winters set for the 18 inch rims from the same manufacturer. IF YOU DONT RACE YOUR CAR i highly recommend to give them a try.
P.S. I gave previously review and by mistake instead of 40 i went for 45, so this is the correct one.

Excellent tires for the money. The grip in the wet and dry is very good. My car is rwd so rears only lasted 14kms while the front lasted just below 40klms.

Been using this tire for the past 1.5 years. Had to change it as the tires were making humming sounds. It started to get louder over time (towards the last 2 weeks of usage). Despite the tread life of each tires having at least 50% left to use, the humming sound was just too loud and kept increasing. I do perform tire rotations & balancing every 10,000km to ensure its even. Total mileage used 25550km (15876 miles). Since the pricing for these tires are so good, I decided to get them replaced with brand new S2's again.
These tires are amazing and the pricing just makes it an awesome deal. Its decently quiet, comfortable and has a great grip on both dry and wet. Its a perfect tire for daily commuting with spirited driving. Braking is excellent and the response/feel on the road is great. I recommend these tires and suggest you try these out and get a feel of it. In the Giti tire range, I would suggest you try their top range only (Sport S2 & Control P10), and if your tracking it would be (GTR3).
Youtube doesnt have much reviews on this tire, thus you would likely be searching on this website (like I have) in terms of reading reviews on this tire. Half the price of Goodyear F1A6 / Pilot Sport 5 / Conti Sport Contact 7, however the moment its fitted onto your vehicle, you will feel its as premium as these brands as well.
Great overall !

My cheap ass installed those summer chinese tires on my Infiniti g37x, the exact size were 245/40/19. Not gonna lie i'm frikkin impressed. So far only 1 season passed with them and they handle pretty damn good, I whiteline and swim through traffic with those tires, went to drag strip 3 times and they never let me down. But still don't take it for granted and slow down when it's wet... Remember those are 350$ chinese tires. They're noisy tires but i have a straight pipe so I can barely hear them anyway hah.
Would buy them again *only for summer*. Overall rating 7/10

I bought these to replace Avon tires that had cracked too much after 18 months and I'm impressed so much I went the next week and got same but in 275/35 fitted to the rear, wet grip is excellent, pretty much feels dry.
I live in Scotland so wet grip is the most important performance to myself as in the dry most tires perform similar, I certainly don't have the ability to explore the limits safely.
Very quite tire and my mpg increased.
They don't tramline nowhere near as much as my last tires did.
I've not had them long enough to review wear but so far highly recommended.

Hi there,
I was testing the brand-new Conti Sport 7 against worn-out Conti Sport 6. In my opinion, tires should serve far below 3-mm groove depth. I finally discarded my previous Continentals with slightly below 1.6-mm groove depth in the rear and slightly over in the front. When driving the tires in this condition on the wet road through the rain, some amount of caution is always needed, but, in my experience, you can easily afford speeds in excess of 100 km/h as long as no sharp turns are expected. I love confident grip and do my best to avoid losing it. I mean, I'm not a racer. Also, tires with shallower groove are sportier to drive, which was especially the case with Conti Sport 6 which I found comfort-leaning a bit too much.
Unlike their predecessors, the Conti Sport 7 feels much like the good old Michelin Super Sport. The Sport 7 feels stiff with no delay as you push the throttle. The Conti Sport 6 sort of told me every time I tried to push them harder: wait a second, do not rush things, comfort comes first! After a while, they would come to their senses and begin to deliver on their sportiness. There is no such thing with Continental Sport 7. They accelerate immediately and are much sportier than the previous generation.

Having to replace 2 of these on front of my car due to them cracking and perishing, Avon say it's ok but I'm not so sure and don't want to risk an accident so changing them asap
I run winter and summer wheels and tires setup so these go into dark storage from 1st November until 1st March so not had a rough life, appx 1500mls a year as I'm retired and do little mileage.
About 6mm left on each tire and fit for the trash.
Searching the internet shows it's common with this brand so I can't personally recommend them.
Wish I'd bought Hankook or Kumho instead.

Such a roller-coaster of a journey with Assy5. I had them fitted in different times on all my three cars. One of them twice... They were all different sizes - 17", 18" and 19"
First on the 18" BMW - changed the car completely. Suddenly I fell in love with it again. Such a grip, feedback and handling - amazing. Unfortunately an year after, I started feeling the car shaking. Checked the brakes ofc, but turns out the tires became egg-shaped. I said to myself "OK, I didn't drive the car for a while, so that's why". Put a new set same tires. Then on the one with the 19". Guess what happened? Same first feeling of how amazing the tires are. And year later - egg shaped. Both. Meanwhile I got a third car with 17" wheels to which I immediately put the Assy5 tires and the car spent the next 7 months in the garage, being restored to perfection. How surprised I was when I took it from there and when I approached 100km/h the car started shaking like there's no tomorrow. Guess what - egg-shaped tires again.
All in all the tire is amazing, but it doesn't last and not because of wear. Maybe it's the weather, as where I live is very hot all the time, but as much as I love the tires, I'm not getting any more of them.

Michelin Primacy HP Zero Pressure rated 93% while driving a BMW 520d M Sport

These tires were used in my 2016 BMW 520d M Sport (Front Run Flt Tires). The perfect tires I had so far. Far better than the Dunlop Sport Maxx Run flats. I have changed front tires 2 time to Dunlops before and they used to wearer out between 10-15k miles and the drive wasn’t great either. Now this Michelin Primacy HP Zero Pressure lasted over 35k over last 5 years and unfortunately, I had to change them now at about 3mm as the inner side of the front passenger side was worn out due to incorrect tracking of the wheels.
The road feedback, dry grip, wet grip and comfort was very good in these tires. I was able to relay on the tires massively when doing faster speeds on the wet conditions.
These tires are no longer available to buy anywhere and moved to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 to match with my rears (which has done a similar 30k+ milage). So far, the Goodyers have been bit lighter on the handling to my liking compared to Primacy HP.
