Given 59% while driving a Vauxhall Insignia CDTI 160 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 20,000 average miles
When brand new in the summer the tyres were fine however once ran in they were noisy on anything but smooth tarmac.Grip was fine but not anything special wont buy again but not a bad buy.

Given 60% while driving a SEAT Toledo (215/45 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 26,000 average miles
These were standard fitment on my new Seat and have lasted really well. 26000 miles and plenty of wear left (at least 4mm) but unfortunately very little grip left. I don't drive particularly hard but have very little confidence in these, especially in the wet. I have had to change them even though there are several thousand miles wear left in them.

Would like a tyre that perform a little better overall and is a lot quieter. Not convinced about their wet handling and steering is too heavy at low speeds. I believe they were developed years ago now so probably outdated.

Given 30% while driving a Skoda Rapid TSI (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 2,000 average miles
Only had these tyres 2000 miles as factory fit in 215/40 R17 V but I'll be glad when they are worn out. Grip is average in all summer conditions, noise levels are high contrary to there supposed rating and they transmit to much negative road surface feedback into the car, particularly when the temperature is 20 degrees plus.

Cannot comment on wear with only a couple of thousand miles but as above, I hope its poor.

Given 62% while driving a Renault Megane RS265 (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 8,500 spirited miles
The dry and wet weather performance on the tyres are very good and I never had any fear sticking it into a bend. The issue I have with the tyres is the wear. I got just over 8500 miles out of them and discussing with the fitter of my new tyres, this is a fairly poor return and there are better, cheaper options available. I do drive in a "spirited" manner but I'm not on the edge 24/7 so the wear is definitely worse than I would expect.

Given 63% while driving a Opel vectra c (215/55 R16 W) on mostly town for 7,500 average miles
Wet, dry grip and cornering are excelent, but does not keep the same quality after 10000 km. noise is ignorable and better than many others.

Given 50% while driving a Jaguar XKR (255/35 R20 W) on a combination of roads for 18,000 spirited miles
These were OEM on my new XK 5.0 in 2011. Lasted 18,000 on the front. Poor feel/feedback, wore unevenly and were quite noisy. Lost a lot of feel/grip in the wet. The 285/30 rears lasted 8,000 and were hopeless in the wet; poor traction and easily lost grip at the rear. Replaced with Pirelli P Zero's which are far superior; quieter; much better steering response, better ride, far better grip and responsiveness.

30000 miles, good tyres feedback a bit numb but that is VW design flaw.

Given 33% while driving a BMW 316 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 13,000 spirited miles
I have only driven about 20,000 km on my vehicle. However these tire were only used to 2 summer seasons. In the second summer, these tire make a lot of noise when driving, as well as I found on the 2 of my back wheels a massive bumps on the side of each tire.
These really are a very poor tyre. I'm very disappointed with the quality of these tyres.

What a good tyre these area after having dunlop sport 9000's I thought I might try something different in the dunlop range. As good as the 9000's were these are just everything a little bit better. Good communication on turn in, and always let you get the apex , little road noise, But nothing compared to the michelin super sports on my BMW. Overall very happy with these tyres. Just wish I had known of the RT versions before I brought them.
