Given 81% while driving a Kia Motors Cerato 2019 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 65,000 average miles
I’d buy this tyre over and over again purely on the fact that I got 100,000km out of the original set on my Kia Cerato with a 50/50 mix of city/highway driving and the tyres still had probably 5000km left.

For first 20K km it’s work great, both dry and wet handle good But it’s now around 30K it’s easily lock the wheel when hard brake (nothing crazy)

These are the stock tyres that come with the car. They last 24k miles but they are not the nicest of tyres . The grip in the wet or cold is very poor and the tyre rumble is very noticeable as it an EV. So overall I understand that the manufacture wants low road resistance to improve mpg but it's like the car is on tip toes. It's not reassuring and can be quite frightening in wet or damp. These are not the best tyres for the uk .

I have used these on my Honda Civic 1.8 since they were first recomended to me by my local tyre shop. I am now on my second set and will be putting them on my Audi TT. They just grip and grip, surefooted and utterly predictable. I simply cant fault them.

Given 37% while driving a Volvo V60 D3 (235/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Initially an ok tyre. Now after 5k miles acceleration in wet weather my vehicle struggles to put the power down. I don’t think the tyres will last longer than 10k miles

Given 40% while driving a Hyundai Kona electric (215/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 30,000 average miles
I got these tyres stock with my new car in 2019 (Hyundai Kona electric) and I must say they are some of the worst tyres I have experienced, but I think this may well be down to the fact that I have switched to an EV. Many manufacturers choose tyres with low rolling resistance for EVs as this helps acheive better milage figures in tests which is obviously great for marketing. However, low rolling resistance generally also means less grip and combined with the fact that EVs generally have higher torque, this makes for a pretty bad driving experience particularly in the wet. I have found that the tyres spin when accelerating from a stopped position on any kind of slope when wet, and by accelerating I don't mean a drag race, just a normal start from a traffic light. As I live in Hong Kong, which rains a lot this is not great. Also, I have noticed the tyres squeal during turns which have never happened in my other cars and at normal speeds which I think is also due to lower traction the tyres offer. Another problem I have noticed, although admittedly it may be down to luck is that I get a lot of punctures with these tyres. I have been driving for around 10 years and usually I get 1-2 punctures a year, but since I got my new car I have been repairing punctures virtually every month. Although I obviously cannot be sure it is due to the tyres it does seem statistically significant. It has also been suggested to me that as EV have to lug around a heavy battery pack, there is generally more load on the tyres which may make them easier to puncture so read it as you may. I have switched to a set of Continental MC6 tyres and at least the grip has improved and driving in the wet is now much greater for me. I would definately not recommend these tyres for anyone driving EVs.

Given 91% while driving a Kia Motors Optima (215/55 R17) on mostly town for 32,000 average miles
I replaced 2 of them after 2 years and all 4 together now (after 4 years). I was happy with them, cannot complain, replaced them only because it was recommended by the Kia (after servicing) to do this within the next few months and I wanted a nice change, It is unbelievable how long they last, I had these tyres without any issues the last 4 years! (2 of them), but time to try a different now.

Given 67% while driving a Volkswagen Passat B7 (225/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 19,000 average miles
Nice tire, first year of use is pleasing, wet as well, afterwards it's more for dry weather, in rain you need to be more cautious as they are stable in turns but lack grip in braking and accelerating. After 19000 miles they were with 3-4 mm of tread - I changed it due safety reasons. I recomend tires if you get it as low as I got them - cca 60 € for a pcs.

Given 74% while driving a Fiat Bravo mk1 JTD (195/45 R16) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
I couldn't fit the tyres in the back axle due to a weird feeling on turn-in, it felt like I was a going to have a sudden snap oversteer. In the front they felt vague, not very noisy or rigid in terms of comfort. The grip was okay, albeit never fitted UHP tyres to this car so I won't put them down on this aspect. Tyre wear was good, expected to last +6000 miles but I sold the car.

Land Rover Discovery Sport (235/55 R19) on mostly country roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Absolutely brilliant tyres for road handling and comfort. Could last a bit longer but not willing to compromise safe feeling and confidence for an extra few miles. Will be buying them again.
