Tyre reviews Goodyear Excellence 1522

Repetitive comment, corrected.

Decided to unsubscribe again after the end of the season (first review from 08-04-2008). Not a bit regretting the purchase of this tire. Very comfortable tires in terms of noise and smoothness of the ride. A small feature - you need to pump up a little (by 0.1-0.2). Good brakes, my car is without ABS, for the whole season I never brought it to wheel lock,

The tyres were on a new Toyota Prius (2009 Japan build) and on a new Ford Mondeo (2008 Belgium build). It's hard to be objective but the tyre was a disappointment. Very hard and extremely noisy and I suspect considerably more slippery than the Michelin Energy equivalents. Handling is hard to say. The Mondeo handled quite well, the Toyota was terrible, obviously it's not the tyre. But the noise and hardness after the Michelin Energy is just incredible. I will

The tire is really good, it lives up to its price more than. I ride on 195/65-15 tire already for the 3rd season (~40.000km), no complaints at all! The road-holding is excellent, as my driving is calm. In 50-65 degrees of turn at the speed of 80-90 the car holds the road as on rails. The braking is also very effective and without squeal! On the wet road the feeling is the

In winter, you will slide on snow/ice like on skates.
It was too lazy to buy winter tires for the winter season, decided to ride on summer tires in winter. As a result, on snow and ice, it's slippery like on skates. I wonder if all summer tires behave like this in winter or just this model.
Pros: Quiet.
Cons: Not for winter. It's very dangerous to drive on such tires in winter.

Main tyre drawbacks:
Camber - absolutely terrible, can barely hold the wheel
Wear - 3 seasons to zero
Noisey
No particular positives, and the first two drawbacks led to me now trying to avoid Goodyear tyres.

Wears out quickly

After 20,000, it started to make noise, blistering at 25,000 km. By 35,000, the tread residue is 2-3 mm, two wheels have lost geometry (but no bulges). Fast wear is the price for road grip

The feeling of driving on underinflated tires

The tires are made either in Slovakia or in Slovenia. The first thing I noticed when holding the tire in my hands was the soft sidewall. After installation, I adjusted the pressure according to the passport - 1.9 and 2.1. The result - quiet, soft, and like driving on underinflated tires: viscous movements, no dynamics, high fuel consumption (increased compared to Michelin winter tires by

In general, I'm satisfied

with the tires overall. I bought them for 2000 per tire in February 2009, made in France. So far, the mileage is around 1000 km. On both dry and wet roads, they perform perfectly, the steering wheel feels heavy, meaning the contact with the asphalt is good. As it seemed to me, the front driving wheels require slightly higher pressure than normal (+0.2 atm, or maybe it's just the error

quite well

Volga GAZ 24-10 car, chassis modified to 31-10 (15" wheel diameter, front disc brakes). Despite the antiquated vehicle, I prefer quality tires because it's - safety! Before this tire, I drove on Barum and Michelin Energy. I've been using this tire for 4 seasons now, and I'll probably buy the same one, just 205/60 R15. So, my impressions:

I'm satisfied with the tires, but I won't buy the same model again. I bought them in late summer and drove them for 3000km, behaving confidently on the highway, both on dry and wet roads, even in the rain (up to 120km/h). On a dry road, after 150km/h, it became less confident, but still acceptable. In the city, under aggressive driving conditions, it performed at 100%! However, I won't buy the same
