Customers frequently award dry traction with 9s and 10s, emphasizing responsive handling and confident grip. While a minority report lower scores, the tire delivers strong summer performance as intended.

...Good cornering on dry roads...
Noisy from the start. Good cornering on dry roads. Very poor wet traction. I don't think these tires are safe in the snow. Putting on Michelins and that should take care of the problem. I have another identical Lexus with Michelins and the ride is pristine.

While some customers rate wet traction highly (7-10), numerous scores between 0-6 indicate mediocre wet performance. Concerns include slippery handling and hydroplaning tendencies, disappointing for a summer tire designed for wet conditions.

...There is zero rim protection, they are TERRIBLE in rain...
These tires came as OE on my 2011 535i. There is zero rim protection, they are TERRIBLE in rain, and I bubbled three of them in 15,000 miles. We had to yell at both BMW and Goodyear to have them replaced under warranty (BMW was useless; Goodyear took some effort). They are complete, utter, without question crap. In 16,000 miles on other tires (Michelin Primacy HP ZP), I've hit more potholes and had fewer problems (other than wear).

...their traction in the wet is also sub par given they are rated ultimate performance...
Had this tyre on my vehicle from factory. Fortunately I was smart enough to get the tyre insurance from day 1. I have gone through 4 tyres in the front due to bubbling with minor pot hole impacts and just had a flat tyre yesterday and was surprised to learn that the tyre wore out to the wires on one side and was heading there in the other side on the rear ones!! I have only put 30K kilometers on these and they certainly shouldnt be that worn out.. These are loud and vibrate on the freeway with speeds above 100 km/hr. their traction in the wet is also sub par given they are rated ultimate performance. BMW should not have picked this to be an OEM tyre. The worst tyre i have ever had hands down!

Comfort ratings show concerning splits, with many scoring 0-5 citing harsh ride, unbearable noise, and low comfort. While some give 7-10, frequent complaints of jarring bumps and loud road noise highlight significant dissatisfaction.

...They are harsh riding, under performing for grip, and transmit vibrations into the car at highway speeds between 55 mph to 75 mph that are unbelievably terrible for any car!...
Absolutely the WORST tires ever on a BMW sedan! These tires are LOUD with marginal performance in wet and dry weather. They are harsh riding, under performing for grip, and transmit vibrations into the car at highway speeds between 55 mph to 75 mph that are unbelievably terrible for any car! I've had the wheels and tires inspected for damage, rebalanced, and still the vibrations are transmitted through the car. With different tires, no vibrations are transmitted into the car. Driving on a long trip through Indiana and Michigan at 75 mph, these tires vibrated the car harshly, as if all four wheels were bent. I would NOT consider these tires for my car.

...Very hard and uncomfortable in dry...
These tires were OEM for me. Worst I have ever experienced. Very unpredictable in the wet. Very hard and uncomfortable in dry. Short tread life. Switched to a set of Continental runflats which are superior to these Goodyears! But I know there must be better.

If all RUN-FLATS are like this...NO THANKS!!........replacing with Ultra High Performance All Season....that's what most of the other MINI drivers seem to do with great results......Bridgestones on my 911s. Michelins also with less desirable results....Conti's on the truck.....both have been great.....thought I'd try the spec tire of European sedan racing series....HANKOOK....look for that post shortly.......I would NEVER buy the tires that came on the MINI......never.

Treadwear disappoints with many 0-4 scores citing rapid wear and early replacement. While some 9-10s exist, excessive wear and dissatisfaction dominate, indicating poor tread life for a Grand Touring Summer tire.

...I bought a new set 1 year ago and after 9000 miles, they are completely bald with uneven tread wear despite balancing and alignment...
This is the worst tire I have ever purchased. These tires came with my BMW 750i. I bought a new set 1 year ago and after 9000 miles, they are completely bald with uneven tread wear despite balancing and alignment. I will never buy these tires again and will caution anyone else to do the same. DO NOT BUY THIS TIRE.

I'm having to replace the rears because of uneven wear, and within 5000 miles they are almost bald...
I'm only writing this review because of the utter shock of how horrible these tires are. Within 5,000 miles, the two front sets of tires have been replaced twice due to bubbling on the sidewalls. Two of these 4 tires were replaced within 1000 miles. Stay FAR away from these tires as they are utter crap. I'm having to replace the rears because of uneven wear, and within 5000 miles they are almost bald.
They are comfortable, and grip the road fairly well, but longevity is definitely not part of their design. Having owned 8 different cars in 15 years, I've never had to replace a tire due to impact damage or pot-holes, and within 6 months of owning this car, I've replaced 4 Gooodyear Excellence already. Seems WAY too extreme.
