Put on new 245/40ZR18 97Y and I was gobsmacked. The car feels like it s riding on clouds, there s zero road noise, and it grips so well it feels like my car had added extra horsepower! The car pulls and leaves you pushed into your seat in its wake. The ride is so subtle - only made worse when I filled up with 50L fuel... so the ride can only improve as the fuel burns. The quietness is scary... I can hear the engine, the wind, and nothing else. It s like driving the car in a vacuum. Tyre noise only came about when I got onto a really rough surface, but still minor. The tyres look great especially on 18 rims as it makes the rims look bigger compared to stock 235/45R18. They should have used the velvet effect more as it looks and feels incredible (not that feeling tyres is a thing, unless it s your thing). I know there s a limited edition Pilot Sport 4 S which uses heaps of the velvet, but that S doesn t come in 18 s in Australia (not yet anyway), and will probably be twice the price.
Riding on these tyres made me realise the tyres should not impede the design of the car, especially the power of the engine. It s really obvious now my previous tyres did. These tyres made the car alive again, and it feels brand new.
I ll be getting this tyre every time from now on. Best I ve ever bought.
