Given 100% while driving a Ford Fiesta (195/50 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 1,500 average miles
Bought these tyres to fit to my new ford fiesta zetec. Wife not pleased after buying new tyres for our brand new car, but after todays snow in Lanarkshire, Scotland. She was impressed to say the least. Grip in the snow / ice is truly exceptional. Not once did my ESP or TCS system cut in. Hill starts no problem from still position. Going round corners felt like I was driving on normal roads instead of ice/snow. Felt like I was in a 4x4 being able to go anywhere.
Would buy these again in a drop of a hat.

Given 100% while driving a Ford S Max (225/50 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Just got these tyres for the front of my s-max after weeks of research. I want a tyre that ticks all the boxes so i went for these. Good tread pattern, quiet, 300 treadwear rating, Winter rated even the guy from the tyre fitters was impressed by them. Will find out how good they really are over the next 6 months or so when the bad weather comes. I'll post another review then.

Given 86% while driving a Toyota Yaris (175/65 R14 T) on mostly country roads for 5,000 easy going miles
Bought in December 2010. Much quieter than previous summer tyres. Grip on snow and ice was exceptional - local 20% hills no problem. Good wet road performance. Fine in warm dry conditions; maybe not as precise as summer tyres but who cares when you get that snow/wet performance as well. Wearing well after 5,000 miles.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Sierra Azura (185/65 R14 H) on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles
Following on from Previous review of these tyres done in December. Now that the weather has warmed up a bit I am pleased to say that the tyres perform to an exceptional standard. I have given top marks for every aspect, but please be aware that they are noisy. I haven't marked them down for that purely because I like the roar that they make when you accelerate (Rear Wheel Drive) They are wearing fantastically well been on for a few months now. Run your hand over them and you can physically feel the power in the grip! (This is not a tyre for drifters. This is a tyre for the driver who wants the car to stay on the line (Stuck to the line) no matter what speed that the wheels are turning.
MOT tester did raise a comment earlier this month "Expecting Snow Are We?!!" Best to be prepared isn't it!!?? 19 Year old Sierra Passed tho!! YAY!

Good grip in all circumstances, especially wet conditions. Had to make an emergency manoeuvre during heavy snowfall (had to speed up fast from near stand-still) and to my surprise this went almost as smooth as on a dry road!

Given 93% while driving a Land Rover Discovery Series 2 TD5 (255/55 R18 V) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
I have 4 of these on my Disco2. Road performance is very good in any weather and in any road conditions. I was very pleased by the off-road performance, as well. Although these are not off-road tyres they are very good for rock crawling and surprisingly well in the mud. I was once in the middle of a rice field, stuck all the way to the axles. I took time and a lot of effort, but I made it out without the help of a tractor.

I bought 2 for the rear of my sierra. These are the best tyres i've ever had the pleasure of buying. Got them for £70 each not cheap but when you feel the performance then you know they are worth it. can't really judge them for wear yet but they are so good that I wouldn't mark them down for it. Bit noisy too it's a little like you can hear the tyres actually tearing up the road underneath you. Haven't actually managed to accidently spin the wheels in the snow yet whilst pulling away. Yes they have that much grip!! Buy some! and goodyear thanks for making them in my size!

Brilliant year round. I don't notice any less grip than my summer tyres yet they work well in the cold conditions.
