Given 27% while driving a Opel vectra c (205/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 6 average miles
Absolute rubbish, i stuck them on 6 months ago, maybe have done about 10,000 km plenty of thread left but they started to crack in the sidewalls and let air out. 6 months and tires were dangerous and needed to be changed. Waste of money, spend a bit more and get nankangs.

Useful only for doing skids as they are cheap. Wouldn't ever use them on the road as they have no grip whatsoever. feels like hard plastic instead of rubber

These were undoubtedly the worst tyres I have ever encountered. Nearly lost it on when turning on a roundabout, not travelling fast. The road conditions were wet. There is also a lot of road noise from these tyres. I would not recommend these even at the 'bargain cost'. I returned them to the company that fitted them and they were ok about exchanging them.

Worst tyre i have bought in years, the road noise is so loud that it sounds like my bearings need to be changed URGENTLY but they don't!! They also don't grip that well in wet or dry conditions and i can honestly say i will NEVER buy these tyres again

The Loudest tires I've ever heard. Worse that mud tires on a jacked up bush truck! Constantly think my bearings are bad or there's something wrong with the car. but no. It's the tires. Also not well made after 2 summers noticed that they appear warped. As soon as I can afford to I'm getting new tires.

What garbage, a waste of materials. Seriously, go to the junkyard and pick up a half worn, dry rottedset of tires over this crap. Seemed fine the first 1000 miles. After 8k miles, 3 of 4 made horrible wobbling belt noise, 2 were just about worn to the wear bars. In the snow? Haha, death wish.

Simply shocking in virtually every way.
Fitted 2 to the rear of AWD xtype.
Road noise so bad I thought a bearing was starting to grumble.
No feel whatsoever in the dry.
DANGEROUS in the wet/damp. Lost the back end several times going easy round roundabouts and shallow bends in high traffic areas (smooth tarmac) where I'd NEVER had an issue before. Not fun losing the back end with no power down...just slides sideways.
Had on for 500 miles so far. Taking car back to tyre fitter as they recommended BCT as an OK budget tyre...you know, not 'ditch-finders'...before they kill me.

Given 33% while driving a Vauxhall Signum 3.0 Cdti (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 9,000 average miles
Bought a set of S800 225/40/18 as recommended by my tyre supplier back in September 2013 and have covered approximately 9k miles.

I went back to the same tyre garage as I wanted all four swapped onto some new alloys. On removal of the 1st one the lad said ' oh shit ' it's perished on the inside tyre wall badly !! All four were the same !!

This is the 4th set in one month they had returned with the same issue all failed during mot inspection.

This could have been an accident waiting to happen, literally. So I had four new tyres at 50% off and I filled out a claim for and waiting to hear back from the manufacturer.

Under no circumstances buy these tyres if you value your life and others!!

Bought these tyres on an offer from national tyres to replace the Capitol tyres from kwik fit sold me that had no grip in the wet and no feel in the dry. Honestly I don't like rotational tyres but these were a good deal and nationals always give decent feedback so here we go.
The tread pattern is the same as the Avon zz3 tyre. The wear is good as it's a harder compound and due to a heavy engine and front end should wear well compared to the capitols. I have wanli tyres on the rear and was impressed with their grip and wear anyway. With a c rating in the wet and also in the dry and a db rating of 71db noise level these tyres perform well and are better than the wanli and Capitol tyres of the same price. Avon feather on the front so quite happy so far. If your not driving on the edge and being a w rated tyre it's ok for normal and motorway conditions. It looks the part without the Avon name. For what this car does it's not worth paying stupid money for a conti or verdestien Mark tyre to be replaced in 12k.

Good looking tyres which perform well in all conditions.
Other than the noise I have no real negative comments at this time.

Awful tyres,
Came fitted to the car when I bought it and they're coming off asap. No grip in wet or damp conditions and very little grip in the dry.
