Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A P4 Persist AS Plus

Pros

  • Strong value: many reviewers highlight the low price (one notes under $120) and the quality for the money, and several call it a good alternative to pricier brands such as Michelin and Kumho.
  • Confident wet and dry grip and handling: users describe the tire as planted, predictable, sticky and stable, with noticeably better traction than previous or stock tires, including on wet Florida roads and at highway speeds above 70 mph.
  • Quiet, smooth and comfortable ride: numerous reviewers mention low road noise and a comfortable ride, and one reports a significant noise reduction versus their previous tires.

Cons

  • Road noise and ride harshness for some: three reviews from a 2015 Civic owner (apparently duplicated or similar) found the tires noisy and rough on all but the newest pavement, and another reviewer said road noise could be slightly better.
  • Limited winter capability: one reviewer reported poor performance in actual winter weather, while others reported only light snow use or had not yet driven them in snow or ice.
  • Quality-control and fitment issues in a handful of reviews: reports include defective tires, a lateral hump, a pull on grooved highways, difficulty seating the bead, high road-force variation, and a tire that would not hold air.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
