225/40 16 Tyre Review Highlights

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 rated 29% while driving a Peugeot 308
Driving on mostly town for 10000 easy going miles
Definitely the worst tyres I have ever used. Wear is about 10 k. Never felt as good as the Goodyear efficient grip performance which I had before.

Event WL905 rated 94% while driving a MG MGF
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
I don't understand the negative comments on these tyres. I can only assume the originators are driving as if they are at Santa Pod Dragster circuit. I found no problem in dry or wet conditions nor on motorways or country roads. Perhaps it's just that the tyres are better suited to certain cars but for the MGF I have no hesitation in recommending the WL905.

General Grabber UHP rated 90% while driving a Kia Motors Sportage
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 spirited miles
I got a full set of these for the Kia after wearing through a budget brand pretty swiftly, as, despite the car, and it's poxy 135 bhp, I do like a spirited drive. Price wise, I paid around the lower range of mid range, one of the cheaper proper branded tyre anyway.
The grip compared to the budget tyre is just phenomenal. With the increase in grip, there is far less wheel spin from the inner wheel on acceleration out of corners, and as such, much less wear. I was very happy with my purchase, and then came the rain.....
What a revelation. In the past, corners in the wet had to be treated like you were carrying Faberge Eggs in the back, not now, gives far more confidence and road holding into the curves.
Wear after 10k miles is pretty good, rears (front wheel drive only most of the time, but occasional 4X4) are still pretty much perfect, and fronts are lasting well too.
Would certainly buy again, and am going to get a set for my other cars too!
