Initial Review, 1,500 Miles on Tires
April 08, 2013

I have only had these tire for 1,500 miles. I replaced my Goodyear Assurance Trple Treads with a set of Michelin Primacy MXM4's. The Goodyears were noisy from the start especially on the highway. The Michelins have hardly any noise and the ride is very smooth even at 80mph. Wet traction is great and cornering at higher speeds is responsive. I bought the Michelins for the price and the great reviews. I have yet to drive in the snow with them because of where I live. I would definitly recommend these for anyone who does city/highway driving.

OK....just purchased a set of these tires, replacing a set of Goodyear tripletreads. First impressions as I have only had them a week:

QUIET! Wow.....huge difference from the Goodyears. From day one the old tires were loud, which over time became monotonous. New tires are a nice change.

Responsiveness.....not so much. Most of my cars are shod with performance rubber. This is my first venture intot he land of "luxury touring". While not a deal breaker, these tires are soft.....you can feel the sidewalls squishing on sterring/cornering input. Cant feel the road through them either....as I describe it, like driving on marshmallows.

Fuel Economy.....on my instant average display, these are getting 3-4 higher MPG than the Goodyears. Nice. This wil save some serious scratch if it holds up over the life of the tires. Thats a 10% bump in mileage!

More to come in time, but overall....so far the tradeoff for my typical 60mile each wau highway commute is worth it. Im getting old as the quiet is actually more appealing on this daily drive than the performance handling.

I put these on my GTI because it came with some Pirelli Pzero All Season tires that would not hold traction with an APR Stage 2 tune. These tires immediately transformed the car into a much more stable platform, both in straight line as well as cornering. These tires bite the ground aggressively.

I put 20k miles on them and show very little wear, I don't know how Michelin does this, but as a result I just purchased a set for my 2011 Corvette Grand Sport. This car's OEM Goodyear Supercar Gen2 runflats were at the wear bars in 9,000 miles!

We put these tires on the car at 700 miles. They were a nice improvement over the stock Integrities. The tires were quieter and much more stable at freeway speeds. In wet weather and snow the traction was good. The tires were rotated every 5-7000 miles with an alignment at 15K mile.

Our driving is about 80% country roadsm 10% city and 20% highway. In spite of driving the car mostly for gas economy (in other words gently) the tires need replacement at 32K! This is a serious disappointment. For this reason I can not recommend these tires. Our Honda Odyssey has Yokohama Avid H4s that have worn great so far in comparison.

Went from the OEM 225/45/18 Hankook Optimo H431 on OEM 18x8 to 245/35/19 Michelin PSS on 19x8.5 wheels. I'm very ocd when it comes to proper air pressure. I use nitrogen and run 38psi, 3psi over oem to optimize for proper load rating. Even though I drive a 4-door sedan, I drive it spirited! The PSSs in my honest opinion is an incredible tire in all aspects. I use to race BMWs and Mazdas in SCCA and know a little about racing. Hence, this tire has great turn-in and allows for sustained control cornering with little push. The variable contact patch seems to just bite the harder I engage cornering and handles the car's weight transfer during cornering, maximizing lateral grip. Wet weather handling is great, however our rainy season has yet to hit us down here in central Florida. In the rain that we have had the tire does very well in both handling, hydroplaning, and breaking. I've driven on Goodyear's F1, Bridgestone's S04, and Conti's Contact DW & DWS. Looking forward to updating this review after I put some mileage on the tires. Stay tuned!

These tires were on my WRX when I bought it so I'm not sure of the mileage. The previous owner said they have 1 or 2 seasons left. They are awesome in the snow. I can start from a dead stop in the middle of a 2 foot drift with no wheel spin, stop on ice, drive right over tall snow banks. I've tried to get stuck and failed numerous times. A lot of the credit goes to Subaru but these tires are great.

This is another follow up from previous reviews. Since I submitted my last review, these tires have been exposed to the icy roasd os Interstate 70 in eastern Colorado and the snow packed roads of Interstate 70 from Denver west. The Eagle GT A/S has exceeded my expectations so far. It probably doesn't hurt that my vehicle is AWD. The only area that I can't comment on yet is treadwear and mileage. I will be satisfied if I get 40,000 miles out of these tires and all indications, so far, are that I will get a few thousand more than that. For my driving style and my vehicle, this is a great tire and I would not hesitate to buy the Eagle GT A/S again.

I got this new set replace the old one under milage warranty. They last 60000 out of 80000. Still feeling the new one. I love the old Triple Tred. Connering speed is incredible, I can took freeway off ramp and pass most of the passenger cars. They are surprice getting pass by minivan with crazy driver.

Snow performance is not good but ok. It is What I expect is all season tire.

Wet performance is good.

Quite surprise on its durability, although its performance degraded rather quickly after the 60000 Mi mark. I basically run them down to the max I could and were still good under dry conditions but obviously not safe in wet or snow conditions.

This was a replacement tire for the original OEM Goodyears that I replaced at just over 38,000 miles. To be honest I did not know what to expect as these replacement Bridgestones were around half the price of the OEM Goodyears. I was very suprised overall and continue to be with the wet braking performance in particular. They balanced up easily and the ride comfort is excellent. Although maybe not so off road capable as the original Goodyear Wranglers? they do have the same load rating. There is very little wear so far and it is uniform, I would not be suprised if these tires went welll over 40,000 too early to say of course! A very well balanced tire performance wise - in fact a delightful tire and made in USA! If you are mostly on-road do not hesitate to install these on your Land Rover or Range Rover!

I have went 80,000 miles on these tires with no problems. The mechanic at the dealership that changes my oil just now said my tires are starting to show wear. I laughed and said they should after 5 years and 80,000 miles he couldn't believe it he said they looked like about 20,000 mile on them.

The tires are great for traction in snow and ice. The problem is the wear is unacceptable. The tires were warrantied for 70,000 (now lowered to 60,000) and they wear out between 30,000 and 36,000. I have gone through two sets at very fast rates, getting rebates from Goodyear on the first set to the second set. I may change brands to get more than 30,000 out of the tires as I do not drive agressively, but they all seem to wear out very rapidly.

I replaced the Goodyear Eagle RSA's that are OE for my V6 Fusion SE with these Michelins, and I am so happy with the performance of these tires. They ride so quietly than the Goodyears and has made a big difference on my highway commute to work everyday. There is little to NO road noise while traveling at higher speeds which is like night and day compared to the Goodyears! Traction is very good and they handle very well wet or dry. Cornering is just as good or better than the Eagles that they replaced. I haven't had a chance to try them on the snow yet, but I'm sure they will be just as good or better than the Goodyears. I am very impressed with these tires and for the price, you just can't go wrong. I will definitely buy these tires again!

Best ice / snow tire I have ever owned, bar none. I have owned Goodyear and Michelin snow tires in the past. These run rings around both of them. Lock the AWD, put down your foot and drive through anything, including the Blizzard of 2013 transporting a nurse to and from work at midnight.

My new Honda Pilot SUV came equipped with Goodyear Integrity tires. When it came to time to replace the tires, I decided to replace them with the same exact tire since I was happy with their pass performance. After getting the new Integrity's put on, I noticed a road noise that I never heard before. I gave the tires a week, but the road noise did not go away. I went back to the dealer and they heard the noticed the noise too. The dealer re-balanced the tires, checked my wheel bearings, etc. But that did not help. I called Goodyear to ask for a refund under their 30 day drive policy, they said they do not refund money, they will only put me in another GY tire. GY decided to put another set of Integrity tires on. Well that did not help either. I asked GY for a refund again, they said no. Then GY wanted to put on Dunlop Signature tires. Since the dunlop tire cost sligthly more they gave me a minimal upagrade price I would have to pay. After they put the dunlops on, the price all of a sudden went up substantially. I said I did not what the tires. Then GY said they would refund all my money and take their tires back. At this point I was just feed up, I paid the difference and kept the dunlop tires. I've had the dunlop's for a few weeks and they are fine, I like them and there is no road noise. I think that Goodyear had a bad batch of Integrity tires because both sets had the same problem of noticable road noise.

I've been driving for over 50 years, my wife over 40 years and neither of us have ever hade a tire bulge. Now, with these Goodyears, bulges on two tires purchased less than 2 months ago. I say crap construction - dealer says "potholes" and it's not even pothole season! Will never purchase Goodyear tires again.

This is a preliminary review of the Continental PureContact with EcoPlus for the Mazda5. We have put 1500 miles of Pacific NW winter driving on these tires since our purchase. They are significantly quieter when driving on both concrete and asphalt highways, especially at freeway speeds. The Mazda5 is not a quiet, touring car, but these tires are a dramatic improvement over both the OEM tires and the Goodyear Eagles that we have previously had mounted. Our Mazda5 has a 5sp manual and so far, the Purecontacts have not lost their grip during normal 1st gear starts. About 80% of our driving so far has been in damp and wet weather and the Purecontacts track predictably at all speeds. Fortunately, the Mazda5 has not been in snow this winter, so no feedback yet on their snow performance. Only time and mileage will show how these age, but we are extremely satisfied with these tires so far.
