These tires have excellent grip.
Purchase a 2017 Civic EX-L Coupe new which came with these tire on it. Tires are very quiet at high speeds. Great traction in turns and excellent in the rain. Great wear, at 40,000 mile about half the tread is left. Did hit a pothole very hard and had to replace one tire. I don't consider it the fault of the tire. Most new cars are equiped with low profile tires. Which are prone to damage because of the low sidewall. But this is a trade off for the high stability and traction low profile tires provide. I intend to purchase the exact same tire when these wear out. For the price they are exceptionally good.

Side wall broke after 10K miles!
These tires came as new along with my certified Buick Verano from Maxon Buick, NJ in August 2018. After driving for 8 miles, I saw a small bulge in the side wall and I thought it was due to my rough driving conditions. I thought of replacing one of those tires but when I took it to the dealer they told the tire tread is only 40-50%. How can the tread life be 40-50% with 10k miles on it. Other than that, the ride and handling is quiet and good. Traction is better in rainy conditions and manageable in light snow. I am replacing these tires with Good Year Assurance Max Life with 820AB.

excellent replacement tires for Mini Countryman
I've now driven on them for 9mon and am still delighted. My Mini had run-flats and I had just become tired of the stiff bumpy ride. These normal tires give a *MUCH* more comfortable ride. Plus my MPG has increased by almost 1 mpg, about 3%, which was a pleasant surprise.
I bought a spare tire that I only carry in the car when I go out of town. For me, this is an acceptable compromise to mitigate risk of a flat while traveling.

Two flats, replacing after 16,000 miles
I drive a lot for my career and prior to purshcasing my Jeep Cherokee I had a Jeep Compass which I had to replace tires on a regular basis and never had so many issues. I've now had two flats and a leak that needed fixed. Been told I need to replace another tire because the tread is worn at 16,000 miles. Traction in the snow is horrible. I slide everywhere in a four wheel drive vehicle. I do not recommend.

36,000 miles and still going strong
I drive from NY to CA several times a year. Bought a new Chevy Malibu Primer in 2016... $35K. I live in both the U.S. and UK and when I in the U.S. I'm driving. Ive put 36K on the car so far and my 19" Pro Contact TX tires are as healthy as almost when I got the car. Looking to put them on my care in the UK.
For me, a great tire and as smooth as glass! Love them

OMG- Bad in highway grooves
Just picked up a new 5 series from the dealer. These tires are fine except when driving on the new design highways that have lateral grooves cut in them for winter traction and drainage. The whole car shimmers left and right when driving on this concrete. Terrible feeling! Try hitting a patch of this going 80mph! Trying hard to get the dealer to replace them!!!

Best Tire Ever!
I purchased a new 2017 Honda Civic EX Hatchback, and thankfully it came with these tires. From the start I noticed the extreme difference in ride. Somehow, they have perfected the balance between performance and comfort. The ProContact TX are responsive when you need to grip the road, but comfortable without too much road vibration for those long drives.

Excellent Tire
I purchased a New Chevrolet Malibu with these tires on it. I don't have 5000km on them and I have a bulge and tear in the sidewall of one tire. These are very nice riding tires, excellent tread pattern and great performance in wet or dry conditions. I am just hoping that the bulge and tear is a one off incident.
