Given 81% while driving a Renault Cilo 1.2 Extreme (185/55 R15 H) on mostly town for 25,000 easy going miles
I've been driving on budget tyres for 10 years. 2 years ago, I decided to make a change and bought these. 2 years now, one is with 2mm thread and the other three were between 3 to 4.5mm. So with conservative driving and good alignments, they do last. In fact, if it wasn't for the 2 heavily broken ball joints, these tyres could have lasted 40'000 miles. (Yes, I driven on 2 broken ball joints for 10,000 miles, wear out the front heavily, then I rotate the tyres around.)

In terms of dry and wet grip. They were good, but I just somehow felt wet is slightly better than dry. Handling? I rarely test the limit of them, so I can't say. Comfort? Good initially, 2 years now, average I would say, since no tyres can not resist ageing no matter their brands.

Would I buy again? Depends on the price. I mean, I drives a lot (15'000 miles town driving per year). Sure grips are important, but wear and tear is what I valued the most. At its current price (£81.56), I would rather get Michelin Energy Saver Plus (£83.99).

Done 25.000 Km . The tyre is absolutely safe and durable . Ofcourse after 3 hot summers its becoming a bit more noisy . Changed to BFGgrip . Its more comfy ,still I think that the B150 had shorter dry braking .

Given 61% while driving a Suzuki CELERIO (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 6,000 average miles
Day to day the tyre suits the car, with decent grip in both dry and wet conditions. At town speeds the steering feels direct but has little road feel. This becomes more acute when cruising at higher speeds on roads with curves and undulations.
The worst problem has been the rate of wear.
After 6000 miles the front tyres have both lost a minimum of 2mm of tread across the full width of each tyre and the outside edge of the nearside tyre has lost 3mm.
The rear tyres have lost 1mm generally but nearly 2mm on the outside edge of the nearside wheel. After a four wheel alignment showed the suspension was all within manufacturers tolerances, it was suggested that persistent high speed cornering around right hand bends was the possible cause!
A first example of such wear and suggested cause after 17 long term cars!
Suzuki's recommended 39psi at the front and 36psi at the rear, presumably to facilitate the incredible 66 mpg average we have obtained measured brim to brim, may well be part of the problem. Tyre rotation is a short term remedy but long term a more enduring tyre is needed such the legendary long lived Michelin products.

Given 51% while driving a Skoda Rapid TDI (185/60 R15) on mostly motorways for 31,068 spirited miles
These tyres are economical and ecological but on the wet road are really dangerous.
If you cross the limit of the grip, you cannot stop sliding. Wear is bad also.
I don't recommend.

Given 79% while driving a Volkswagen Passat 2.0TDI (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
Grip, steering precision and comfort are premium-class, but wore out quite quickly (after 20,000km there is still 4 to 5mm left, so it's not too bad). Everything else was great. Driving has been "easy going" mostly, but sometimes I have pushed them harder on curvy country roads and I always accelerate quite fast.

Given 96% while driving a Toyota Avensis (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Best summer tires for my avensis T22 so far, I ride aggressively, not avoiding wet/rain, no complaints, maybe only wear, I marked it for 7, because after 2 summers they are nearly out, hopefully they will survive upcoming summer which would be great, otherwise they are perfect. Will buy them again.
