From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Goodyear Excellence is viewed as a polarizing premium touring tire that excels in comfort and noise reduction but suffers from inconsistent durability and wet-weather performance. While many users praise its smooth ride and dry-road handling, a significant portion of the user base reports premature tread wear and a notable decline in grip as the tread depth approaches the 3-4mm mark.
Pros
- High levels of ride comfort and low road noise
- Strong dry-weather grip and handling
- Predictable and stable performance when new
- Good rim protection on specific run-flat variants
Cons
- Rapid and inconsistent tread wear
- Significant loss of wet-weather traction as the tire wears
- Soft sidewalls prone to bulging or damage from road hazards
- Tendency to tramline on uneven road surfaces
Observations
- Users with heavy vehicles like the Ford Galaxy and VW Tiguan report varied experiences, with some achieving high mileage while others note rapid wear.
- Drivers of performance-oriented vehicles (e.g., Focus ST, BMW 5-series) frequently criticize the soft sidewalls for lacking the necessary feedback and stability for spirited driving.
- Run-flat versions are noted for being surprisingly comfortable compared to competitors, though they are frequently cited for sidewall bulging issues when encountering potholes.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
