The HPZ-02 is Advanta's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire. Available in a wide range of sizes and rim diameters, it’s ideal for used-car reconditioning or for drivers of sporty coupes and sedans seeking a competent on-road handling, a low noise profile, and performance all year round.

The HPZ-02 features an all-season compound that's been molded into a mild asymmetric tread pattern with large shoulder blocks designed for improved cornering and dry traction. The broad contact patch offers further stability at highway speeds or for the unexpected maneuvers of daily travel. Quad circumferential grooves feed into lateral notches to evacuate water from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning. The shoulders utilize large, independent blocks and notches that, in combination, provide additional traction for wet and wintry weather.

Advanta HPZ-02 Reviews

User feedback reveals the Advanta HPZ-02 excels in dry traction, with scores consistently 9-10 for confident cornering and responsive handling. Wet performance is also strong, with hydroplaning resistance rated 8-10, though a few note moderate grip in heavy rain. Winter traction (6-8 range) is solid for an all-season tire, handling light snow adequately but showing limitations on ice. Comfort scores 8-10 highlight a smooth, quiet ride, while treadwear ratings (8-10) suggest durability for daily driving. While not a dedicated winter tire, its balanced all-season capabilities and reliable dry/wet performance make it a well-rounded choice for drivers prioritizing year-round usability.

...I can floor it in the rain and keep traction (most of the time) with 280whp. No slippage or traction lights come on, when I had firehawk indy500s they would slip in the rain easily, even brand new...

Great tire so far! Sitting on a 19x11 wheel with no traction issues.. I can floor it in the rain and keep traction (most of the time) with 280whp.
No slippage or traction lights come on, when I had firehawk indy500s they would slip in the rain easily, even brand new. Driving mostly in rain and hot summer days (Florida) and couldn't be happier, especially at the price point.

I am really impressed with these tires so far.. Just over 1000 miles on them, they have a nice smooth, fairly quiet ride. I tried them in the rain last night and was blown away by how they resisted hydroplaning. Really stable at highway speeds through big puddles and standing water.. We will see how the tread holds up over time, but right now I am a fan.. Seem to be a great tire for the money!

The Advanta HPZ-02 delivers reliable winter performance for an all-season tire, with many customers scoring 8-10 in snow traction. While some note reduced ice grip (scores 0-6), most praise its confident handling in winter conditions.

...They handle confidently in all New England weather conditions-rain, snow, and dry pavement-and have never lost traction...

This has been an excellent tire choice, and I would absolutely buy it again. I’ve put several thousand miles on this set with zero complaints. They handle confidently in all New England weather conditions—rain, snow, and dry pavement—and have never lost traction. Cornering feels solid, and high‑speed stability is outstanding.

Road noise is minimal. With the windows up and the radio off at highway speeds, I can hear a very slight sound, but it’s more of a nitpick than a real issue. Tread wear has been impressive as well; everything is holding up exactly as it should.

As the original owner of the car, I’ve gone through several sets of tires over the years, and these match—or outperform—many competitors that cost significantly more. I run 38–40 psi in all four tires on OEM wheels, and the ride remains smooth, predictable, and confidence‑inspiring.

Overall, this is a well‑performing tire at a great price point, and I highly recommend it.

I did not have the time this year to put the snow tires on so I drove all winter with these tires and they definitely exceeded my expectations for the winter weather here in upstate NY...

I just needed a cheap summer tire as I have snow tires that I put on my car every fall. But I did not have the time this year to put the snow tires on so I drove all winter with these tires and they definitely exceeded my expectations for the winter weather here in upstate NY. I will absolutely purchase these again when it's time. I still have quite a bit of tread left on them and I am thinking I can get another year out of them. If you're on a budget and looking for a great reliable tire, these are definitely a good choice and will not disappoint!

...I do some aggressive driving on really curvy old country roads and have yet to push them past their limits in wet or dry conditions...

The tires are pretty darn good for the low price point. Im quite please with the purchase. I do some aggressive driving on really curvy old country roads and have yet to push them past their limits in wet or dry conditions. My only issue with the tires in the noise they make on fresh black top, it’s atrociously loud and the pitch is mind melting. The only other complaint I have is the aesthetics of the tire. Compared to the previous tires I had, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, these tires are just kinda ugly. There’s a distinct line theta travels the circumference of the side wall. I’m assuming it has something to do with the sidewalls rigidity, it ugly. Functionally though, you can’t go wrong with these tires if you need solid performance at a much reduced price point.

...No louder than the 1200 dollar set of Michelin pilots they replaced and very slightly more comfortable...

So far so good. Haven't measured tread wear or anything but they absolutely stick and don't deflect much for an all season. No louder than the 1200 dollar set of Michelin pilots they replaced and very slightly more comfortable. They have a built in lip protector which is great but they are kind of ugly in the sidewall area. Need a better logo design. I often drive my car on the absolute ragged edge and the only surprise from these tires is how well they perform(not even considering their price point). If I get 20k miles out of these I'll definitely buy them again. Oh and I forgot to mention that out on an old highway somewhere in Mexico at 164 mph these tires feel just as stable as the Michelin ps4s they replaced. Ymmv.

Little to no road noise, no loud pings while going over sharp divets in the road... the ride quality is surprisingly good.

Little to no road noise, no loud pings while going over sharp divets in the road. Tire compound feels grabby and handling is good. I don't expect these tires to last as long as more expensive tires from competitors since they were more affordable but the ride quality is surprisingly good.

...This tire is very smooth even up to triple digit speeds...

Excellent value! This tire is perfect for customers that don't need high end tires on their older BMW. These replaced a set of badly cupped & worn Bridgestone Potenzas. I do mixed city and highway driving on a daily basis with no real complaints so far. This tire is very smooth even up to triple digit speeds. I am usually suspect on off name tires but if it is sold on Tirerack, then be at ease as they wont sell anything that doesnt meet their standards.

It was awesome that they were dropped off at my front door. And they came two days earlier than expected. The tread wear is a lot better than the factory tires that came on the car brand new.

...it handles very well and has very good tread life.

Because of the low profile of the tire, it is not a soft ride, and it is somewhat noisy as you reach 60 mph. But it handles very well and has very good tread life.
