The sidewalls seem to bliseter out if you touch a kerb or drive through a pothole (which is unavoidable on British roads these days). They seem to perform reasonably well in dry and wet, but becuase of the blisters I have to replace them to maintain the roadworthiness of my Megane. The comfort is sub standard - you really know what surface you're driving on.

ive had two sets of these tyres now and ive got to be honest and say these tyres are brilliant. they have great grip in both dry and wet and are excellent against aquaplaning. ive had many set of tyres over the years and these are one set i cant really fault. the ride is excellent, they are very quiet and very smooth. i would have liked a few more miles out of a set but thats only a minor niggle. i do a mixture of driving from motorways to country lanes and most of the time im quite a brisk driver and these tyres are very progressive near the limit. they have lots of grip and very quiet so suit sporty saloon cars perfectly. but if your after pure traction then go for the f1 assymetrics.

They make a lot of noise, wet grip is...better say is not.
Never buy these again.
Wear is ok. about 40k KM~ 25k miles, and still to go until mark.

It seems to have good tires instaled on my car. It's 3 years I drove Goodyear. Change with snow ones in winter, otherwise, it sleap on snow the summer one. Good luck.

Excellent improvement in wet weather handling, dramatically reduced aquaplaning when hitting puddles at high speed. Very confidence inspiring.

A good all round tyre - a bit slippy in the snow, but overall performs well and have got 24,000 out of the front pair on a diesel mondeo estate

Very good choice. I have it on my Passat B5.5, they are excellence! On my front axle I have Excellence (made in Germany) and they are so good. On my back axle there are Excellence (made in Slovenia) and they are bit low...But they handle very well, excellent performance in dry and wet, on snow very bad, and I will buy them again, for sure. All recomendations.
