5 months ago I swapped my 2015 triton for a 2015 octavia Stationwagon that came with Goodyear optilife's. It's a front wheel drive family car and not sporty by any means. When its dry it's got poor traction, when its wet it's downright dangerous. It's also noisy. Going to swap to something safer soon as these are just not safe.

These tyres are midrange tyre and great value for the kilometres you get out of them.

Many cheaper brands will be worn out after 40,000 k’s but I’ve got nearly 80,000 k’s out of these before needing to replace them.

I would have got another set but the tyre place near me didn’t stock them so I ended up buying Yokohama’s which although slightly quieter don’t appear to have as much tread thickness as the optilife’s did so I’m not optimistic that they will last as long.

Will have to wait and see.

decent tires, better than generic china made tyres. feels a little bit of slip in the rain compared to michelin and bridgestones. i would recommend if in a pinch or settling for average quality.

Noisiest tyre ever.
Handles like a scared kitten on wet Lino at the first sign of rain.
Durability is probably compromised by all the wheel spin, even in the dry.
Front wheel drive Golf TDi so it’s torquey but I’ve had much better tyres on a similar car.

I remember when I was a 12 year old kid in the early 70's and my dad put brand new Goodyear tyres on the car and somewhere between Mt Isa and Townsville we blew one out and another was separating the tread from the tyre. I now just bought a Corolla with Goodyear Optilfe with 90% tread left and they are out of round big time. This is living proof that the pathetic method of their way of making tyres in the 70's hasn't changed.
Never ever buy goodyear tyres......

If you had completely bald Tyres in another brand there would be more traction. In a front wheeled drive 2010 Mazda 6 they are dangerous particularly in the wet. Durability is not worth thi king about after you have had an accident. Avoid these Tyres.

Not great in the wet and noisy on bitumen.

37,000kms overall on a Subaru Outback.

I would recommend shopping around elsewhere for tyres as there are many better options than these from many other tyre stores..

Put a set of these on my 2003 Subaru Outback 4 yrs ago done 40 thousand ks ready to replace them with another set best tyre I’ve had on a car recommend highly drives good in all conditions never had flat great in wet weather wears even with tyre rotation

Tyres are noisy, harsher ride and car does not steer as well as when it was fitted with Forteras. Not at all impressed as despite having a wheel alignment when the four tyres were fitted, the car does not track as well as it did. No opportunity yet to assess wet weather performance but have little confidence that they will perform well. Have used Goodyear tyres for over 25 years and these would have to be the worst tyres that have been fitted to my cars.

I specially requested to replace damaged tyre with exactly the same ie. hankook kinergy eco. I’m very aware to have all tyre the same my father was a mechanic who drilled this into my sisters and myself over and over.
I was told by staff member at Kats Hornsby that they did not have one at the time, I was offered a different brand, l said no l want same as damaged tyre.
I was told that it would be several days to get one in, l said great, l left damaged tyre still on the rim and returned later in the week to get the new one put on my car. To my amazement my tyre had been replaced with a tyre that l did not order
I am now waiting for the correct for ktasto correct this.

Not happy Jan

Kmart Gungahlin did not honour the 50K mileage promise. Tyres are completely worn now at 33K. They are evenly worn but I’m not happy about the distance. I purchased them with a full wheel alignment and balance as they said it carries a guarantee of 50K if you take a wheel alignment with the purchase (which I always do with a Tyre purchase). So I did. Now they say I need to visit them regularly for alignment and rotation. They did not tell me this when I bought the tyres. I buy tyres in pairs so don’t rotate. I have four vehicles and am a Kmart Canberra customer for Tyre and insurance since 2011. Now decided to look for other places.

Sidewall of Goodyear OptiLife tyre blew out after driving 5 kilometers from Kmart auto to home in Canberra. Kmart said tyre must have been slashed or driven over rocks and won't honor guarantee. I have a dog and there are no rocks in my driveway, only in my head for having bought these tyres. I have been driving for 40 years in both harsh country and city conditions and never had a sidewall fail. I have had good service from KMAS and their personnel in the past, just do yourself and your safety a favour and avoid their Goodyear tyres.

I have a Territory TX AWD. I have had these Goodyear Optilife for a year or so. The family won't drive any distance with these tyres due to noise and harshness I am 72 and these are the worst tyres I have experienced in my life. Took the issue up with KMart Auto but no response. PS I have no complaints about Kmart Auto staff I have always had excellent service from them over the many years I have used them.

Worst tyres I have ever owned - noisy, extremely low grip to the point of being dangerous in the wet, balances and wheel alignments kept up and they are going out of round and only done 15ooo kms so far.Sound more like an mud terrain tyre on the freeway. My old Goodyear Forteras on the tread wear limiters had more grip than these things. The guys at KTAS said these were superb. Sorry but a big NO.

I used to work in the KTAS call centre while I was transferring the calls through I would ask the service agent what sort of tyres they would recommend for me.I asked 50 different centres Australia wide they all said the same Optilife many said their whole family's were using them.Dirt roads, wet and rough roads these tyres are perfect.I also did the customer satisfaction surveys 9/10 was common apart from KTAS who else gets 9/10, I no longer work in the call centre but I still tell my workmates and friends to shop there hard to believe they are owned by Coles.

Well, got these tyres fitted by KMart a month ago, so far so good. I honestly do not think I can comment much on the durability for another 2 years or so. However, I like the idea that it comes with a 50,000km warranty, and their price is a fraction of my original Bridgestone.

In terms of service, I find that Kmart Tyres at Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown is provides a professional and courteous service to customer. I will definitely return

Durability, So far so good, wear rate seems about right,
low noise level not at all noisy,
grip feels safe in the wet
no sense of squirm in the dry.
very good heavy braking characteristics, takes ABS to the limit

recommended at the price point offered by Kmart with their tyre saver service
