There were four of these on the car when I bought it, the rears were just worn in but the front ones were very worn, so I did a deal with the garage to get new ones. I have done 10k miles since then, over all types of road and with all sorts of loads. They are down to 6mm left all round now, so are wearing reasonably well.
On A roads these are fantastic, with good feel, and good grip in all weathers, so for most journeys, I love them. The stability and feel on corners is really nice for a big family car.
They are quite noisy at motorway speeds though (and I mean some way north of 70), particularly when the tyres are inflated to full load carrying pressures. I have found the tyre pressure really affects the level of noise. This may just be a consequence of having the 18" rims, but it is a bit wearing on long trips. The noise seems to depend massively on the quality of the tarmac too, more so than in other cars I have had, as on the occasional stretch of good smooth road, the noise goes right down. The comfort level is fairly good at normal pressures, but at full load pressures they are a bit more bumpy.
I'm probably going to try another tyre with a more traditional tread pattern next to see if I can get something quieter, but these do have good qualities, and if only I could drive at less than 70 all the time, they would be fine.
