Given 66% while driving a (185/55 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 4,000 average miles
While I have to admit these tyres are very comfortable in a road noise and ride quality way, I don't feel all that safe driving on them. I drive a fiat panda, not a fast car and not driven hard but they are very easy to spin the wheels and feel very loose and floaty on tight bends. Lost control of the rear of my car on a sweeping bend with a 60mph limit, I was only doing 35, back end just broke away with no warning. I don't feel that they are as good as my previous tyres (Bridgestone Ecopia EP150) and I'm enclined to change them well before they wear out. Not recommended.

Had these tyres on for 3 months, and am overall very pleased indeed.

We live in rural area, and they absorb the bumps and lumps very well indeed. They also feel very surely planted, wet, dry or whatever, and do feel as if they actually improve the drive of the vehicle. I`d say Rolling Resistance is very low and good, and you feel like you are rolling very nicely. Fuel consumtion is improved as well. It actually feels like you need less throttle compared to some other tyres.

The one downside I find is they the style of the tread seems to mean water and mess forces out, throws up a little higher and around than some other tyres as no open cross blocks if you will. Shame. But overall they great drive so its a very small price to pay.

Had chance to use them in the recent snow and ice, and while not like a winter Conti TS850( about the best winter tyre ) for instance, they are really quite good. Especially holding well going downhill on ice and snow. If going up a quite steep covered hill you need to keep them going really if you can. But overall very useful indeed, in a wintery situation.

If you like a really comfortable drive, with decent winter abilities and really good handling through the range, plus good miles per gallon too. They really are worth a look. Also saves all of that faffing about changing over the tyres in November each year.

So very handy and good indeed, in a rural setting, and would be superb in other less demanding places.

Great Tyre. A+
