Passenger Car Summer Ultra High Performance Tires Tire Review Highlights

Maxxis Premitra HP5 rated 56% while driving a MINI Cooper SE
Driving on a combination of roads for 5900 average miles
Good confidence inspiring grip in the dry. Comfort was also good even for a performance oriented tire. Wear seemed to be on par with most other tires i've used previously. Wet grip is very poor, especially on smooth tarmac.

Uniroyal RainSport 5 rated 28% while driving a BMW 325d M Sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 650 average miles
Terrible tire. There is no steering feedback, anything over 60mph you're constantly correcting the steering to keep it in a straight line- i went and had a 4 wheel alignment to check it wasn't out. Tires still terrible.

The grip is also equally bad in wet and dry conditions. My car is breaking traction over taking on dual carridge ways and motorways. Pulling away isnt so bad but still not great.

Removed after 650 miles and taken a loss. Would rather fit acceleras

Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 rated 53% while driving a BMW 740i
Driving on mostly town for 3700 easy going miles
I purchased these tires in South Carolina in late October and after only driving 3700 miles the tires indicate a tread level of a 5 this is just horrible, I called Hankook and they explained to me that they are a summer tire with NO mileage warranty and they are a warm weather tire, I advised I am in Myrtle Beach, SC if this is not warm enough for the tires to last at least 35,000 to 40,000 miles then why do they allow shops to sell them in this area but to have over half the tread life gone in only 4 months and under 4,000 miles is just NOT acceptable and in case anyone is wondering what kind of a car they are on its a 2019 BMW 740i Individual that my wife drives so its treated like a baby. Would never buy a Hankook again.

Kumho Ecsta PS71 rated 93% while driving a Ford Mk5 Mondeo 2.0
Driving on a combination of roads for 1200 spirited miles
In all but noise level the tire is top, better then many more expensive "premium" brands I have had over the years. Grip, handling, breaking and comfort both wet (most impressive) and dry, performs exceptionally well at low temp. Highly recommend.

Nexen N Fera SU1 rated 89% while driving a Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2.0 GT
Driving on mostly motorways for 100 average miles
First things first, this tire is great, much better than the tires I had before. The dry grip is all there, it never feels unpredictable or slippery no matter how much I push it. The wet grip is lightly tested but it hasn't disappointed yet for the limits I pushed thus far. Dry braking is excellent. The feedback and handling is good. Even through electric power steering, the road feel gets translated quite well. No complaints.

Nexen N Fera SU1 rated 61% while driving a Mazda Mazda 3 Gt Sport Tech Mhev Auto
Driving on mostly motorways for 40 easy going miles
I used these Nexen tires (215/45) on my 2019 Mazda 3. I have a balanced driving style—I don’t speed or take sharp turns often. Most of my driving is on motorways and average roads, with the occasional pothole.

After driving 40,000–50,000 miles on my front tires, I found their dry grip to be very good, providing great feedback. The wet grip was decent, but I did notice a slight loss of traction on rainy days, which made me more cautious.

The biggest advantage of these tires is their affordability—they offer performance that is average to slightly above average for the price. However, my main concern, and the reason for this review, is their durability. Despite my moderate driving habits, I found that these tires wore out rather quickly.

When my tires had about 3mm of tread left (around 70% worn), I hit a small but somewhat deep pothole at just 29 mph. To my surprise, the tire completely blew out in the middle of the road! This incident made me realize that these tires are not very well reinforced and can become risky as they near the end of their lifespan. While they perform well initially, I urge drivers to be extra cautious once they start wearing down.

I also noticed that the peripheral edges of the tires began wrinkling, which could indicate weak reinforcement. Perhaps this was just my experience, but I didn’t expect a tire to fail so dramatically at low speed.

RoadX RXMOTION U11 rated 34% while driving a BMW X5
Driving on mostly town for 300 average miles
Fitted these as a cheap option for my 2018 BMW X5 40d..... so bloody uncomfortable as the garage cannot balance them no matter how hard they try! Constant body vibrations even at low speed. My previous Goodyear tires no vibrations, I did read previous X5 reviews so thought I'd give them a go....oh, guess you get what you pay for.

Kumho Ecsta KU39 rated 99% while driving a Alfa Romeo Brera TBi
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 average miles
I bought this tires because of the reviews I read comparing to the price. The previous were Continental Contact 5 which costed double price at the time.
Exceptional handling in dry and almost the same in wet. It will not wear visibly but I think it starts to show its age in 4 maybe 5 years!

Toyo Proxes TR1 rated 68% while driving a Renault Clio 172
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles
Grip in the dry is phenomenal. Eagle F1 levels of dry grip and for such an affordable price too. Bang average in the wet, but it's a UHP summer tire!! Absolutely nothing else can beat it at this price point.
