Great tyre for the money. Quite sporty response, but not too expensive.

Have to agree with many others regarding these tyres...I found them good in dry weather, but the slightest drop of rain, ice or snow, I found them scarry and untrustworthy, I replaced all four of these after about 4000 miles, and was glad to be rid of them. A tyre I would never use again and not recommend.

12,000 miles of living dangerously (front tyres). I drive a mix of twisty Scottish B roads and motorways. You would be better painting your wheels black in respect of wet braking and cornering, and not much better in the dry. Noisy too. Never buy these tyres unless life has just go too much and you want to end it all in an R.T.A......you'll likely get your wish !

Given 39% while driving a Nissan Primera (205/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
These tires are really horrible. They are no way sports tires. Grip on dry was really horrible compared to Fuldas I have right now. Tail of my FWD Primera used to slide very often while doing lift-off driving faster into some corner. Every harder braking on dry used to turn-on my ABS.
Grip on wet was even worse, sometimes I had to go more slowly on 205/50 P6000 than on 185/60 winter tires in rain. I do not recommend these tires to anyone.
However they lasted quite a long time, maybe because the rubber is too tough.

Great tyre holds the road well always had them on my focus until the last set iv had seemed to have worn very fast, cornering has taken the tyre down on the outer tread marks but not the middle.

These tyres were already fitted on my car when I bought it. At the time of purchase they had appx. 6mm of tread left. They have worn well, now finally needing replacement after nearly 20,000 miles of driving.

The dry grip is excellent, and the wet grip is great too - I have driven through monsoon like weather on the motorways, and these tyres have never let me down.

Feedback is great, road noise is minimal and the comfort level is good too.

I have noticed, though, that they are very "pressure affected" - that is, unless you check them often, and keep the pressures bang-on as small differences in pressure seem to make a biog difference in these tyres performance - do that and they are exceptional tyres for the money - being only about 10% more in cost than some 'budget' tyres.

I have already made up my mind to replace them with a set of the same.

Given 81% while driving a Volvo V70 2.4 (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 38,000 spirited miles
The steel wheel (16"!)version of this car was shod with 205mm wide tyres; mine came with 17" alloys and 225mm wide P6000 tyres and I'm wondering how much difference the extra 20mm has made to the performance!?
Grip in the dry has been exceptional even during spirited drives across good cross-country roads. Braking has also been excellent in the dry and never aqua-planed in the wet with some reduction in grip - but, probably down to me braking more gently the adverse the conditions!
The first set of tyres lasted 28,000 miles; the 2nd set are still going strong and look to be returning about the same distance.
I have noticed the steering 'tracking' on uneven road surfaces particularly when the tyres were getting low on tread.
And, the tread wears, the tyres provide an increasingly harder ride and the noise level rises slightly - but, I assume this is normal and would occur with most if not all tyres!

Poor wet grip.
Stayed with them because they were OEM tyres. Now changed to another make.
