    The better tyre in my Corolla, excellent in dry roads and very good in the wet. Brake dry and wet very good. Comfort very good.

    Given 89% while driving a Hyundai Getz (155/65 R14) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
    Great tires for small cars with low hp, especially if u use small size of this tire. Good dry and wet grip even though they need a little time to warm up. The best thing about these tires that i was really astonished is their braking power especially on dry, it's like dropping anchor when i hit the brakes. Fuel economy is great too. I'm not that sure though about handling on higher speeds but yet again this tire in not meant to be for spirited driving like i am into so if u drive normally for everyday use like it was build for then is more than enough. Definitely recommend them!

    Car has only done 550 miles and I am going to change the tyres. The factory fitted Goodyear transmit road noise even on smooth roads. Makes long distanc driving very annoying.

    found them on my car almost new, cannot say i was impressed, especially when it was time to change them, not worth the money foun better tyre with less money, goodyear is an outdated tyre and not so good in the wet, may fit goodyear only if they change the tyre with a new one with good ratings in the rain

    after 3,5 years i am chaging them, its winter now and i have no grip, tired of driving slow, and like a grandma when it rains, it was one of the worst tire i ever had, the only positive is that the tread lasts, i think a tire with good reading on fuel consumption does not get warm for it to grip, after research A reading tyres in the wet have C readings for wet conditions, i hate loosing my car in the wet, i am between falken and semperit .... wil never buy them again as i was a goodyear fan

    these tyres did not blow my mind, i would say they are a medium tyre in all conditions, did not like hard braking in wet conditions and some times on dry roads, i think it's that they are not flat on the road because they are round at the tread ,,, overall a medium tyre for primium price

    this is my second review, i did not change these tyres in 2019 but today on october 2020 and after 7 years on my car, because after 6,5 years the tyres they did not work in the wet, now i tried to buy new ones, but GOODYEAR GREECE is a scam, they only have old stock from the beginning of 2019, so i had to choose a new tyre so i installed FALKEN sn832 ... next review on FALKEN tyre

    After 2 summer seasons and 6000 Km i lost only 0.5 - 1mm of tread. Driving them very smooth, i have never gone on limits with them, but for normal driving i can say this tyres are the bestbuy ever, gripy, silent, excellent road feedback. Probably cause of the tests when its rainy i drive like 10-15Km/h less than normal, and so far i have never ever had problems with them on wet roads... for compact cars with no more than 100hp i recomend them for sure....
