Given 70% while driving a Toyota Avensis (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 22,000 spirited miles
I have these on size 195/60/15 -V- (Toyota Avensis). Very confortable tyre which provide very good grip in dry and wet conditions. Main drawback: very soft tyres which don't provide enough road feedback and wear very very fast! Driving mainly in highways and country roads with lots of cornering these tires are seriously worn out after 35.000 kms! I doubt if I will buy them ever again...

Have this tyres already 20000km , and still good grip and still 3-4 mm left.

Terrible wear, after 2 months and 2300 km they look like they are 1 year old. No road feedback, especially over 130 km/h, terrible brakes in high speed. Golf TSI 160PS. I will throw them away soon never again...

Good grip in dry nad wet road, very comfort but you get no road feedback and also poor wear. If i was 50+ years old i would buy them again for their comfort...but as i am 30 years old and i am looking for a more sporty feeling i am not going to buy them again.

Given 73% while driving a SEAT LEON 1.8TSI (205/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
Very comftortable and balanced tyres,with good grip(dry and wet) and low noise..I am really happy with theese tyres because my ex Turanza ER 300 are totally tragic after three(3) years and 42000 km...The only negative point is the low road feedback...

Given 91% while driving a Skoda Octavia (205/55 R16 V) on mostly country roads for 10 average miles
Bought these tyres after reading the promising test results to replace my Bridgestone Turenzas. I was hoping for improvement in fuel economy and to keep the grip I had with Turenzas. I have seperate winter tyres because I had no confidence in summer tyres on snow and ice so it was just for summer performance. Not impressed with wear so far, seems to be wearing more than bridgestone. Grip is good in wet and dry and under breaking but there is slightly more roll in the corners than bridgestones.
I would buy these again so long as they last close to 30k miles

Given 43% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TFSI (205 bhp) (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 3,000 average miles
Coming from Michelin Primacy LC. A comfort themed tyre, decent at best handling.

Then came this tyre, I bought it after reading rave reviews.

This tyre is noisy. Very noisy.

Grip is decent.

Poor poor wear. After 3000 miles. I'm half done!!

Never again.

Before I used YOKOHAMA AVANT which is very good tire even at 80.000 km it has 6 mm depth. I prefered Conti for its new technology for noiseless and confort and brake performance. The first thing that I have to say that this tire is very very confortable. Toyota is famous about to feel the road to you and this tire neutralize this phenomena in my opinion.

it think these are great tyres, however the wear is really quick. i can be rated as a decently sedate driver. after approximately, 10k, its worn almost half!

I have just drived around 1000 miles. The original tyres were Pirelli P7. I must say that the noise level has dramatically decreased and the road comfort has increased. But much better then these, the dry grip is excellent. I was nearly having an acccident on high-way but thanks to Continental PC5 that I stopped in an unbelievable distance short distance.
