Goodyear Excellence Reviews - Page 6

Given 90% while driving a Audi A4 TDi Quattro Sport (235/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
ive had two sets of these tires now and ive got to be honest and say these tires are brilliant. they have great grip in both dry and wet and are excellent against aquaplaning. ive had many set of tires over the years and these are one set i cant really fault. the ride is excellent, they are very quiet and very smooth. i would have liked a few more miles out of a set but thats only a minor niggle. i do a mixture of driving from motorways to country lanes and most of the time im quite a brisk driver and these tires are very progressive near the limit. they have lots of grip and very quiet so suit sporty saloon cars perfectly. but if your after pure traction then go for the f1 assymetrics.

They make a lot of noise, wet grip is...better say is not.
Never buy these again.
Wear is ok. about 40k KM~ 25k miles, and still to go until mark.

It seems to have good tires instaled on my car. It's 3 years I drove Goodyear. Change with snow ones in winter, otherwise, it sleap on snow the summer one. Good luck.

Excellent improvement in wet weather handling, dramatically reduced aquaplaning when hitting puddles at high speed. Very confidence inspiring.

A good all round tire - a bit slippy in the snow, but overall performs well and have got 24,000 out of the front pair on a diesel mondeo estate

Given 94% while driving a Volkswagen Passat B5.5 130 TDI Sport (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 28,000 average miles
Very good choice. I have it on my Passat B5.5, they are excellence! On my front axle I have Excellence (made in Germany) and they are so good. On my back axle there are Excellence (made in Slovenia) and they are bit low...But they handle very well, excellent performance in dry and wet, on snow very bad, and I will buy them again, for sure. All recomendations.
