Alfa Romeo 156 JTS Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Leao Nova Force given 86% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
These are relatively cheap Chinese tyres which surprised me nicely.
I've previously driven with Continental SportContact 2 and I thought they are silent. Well, after driving 10 000+ km. with Leao Nova Force, I can definitely say these are the quietest tyres I have ever driven with.
In terms of comfort - mine are 225/45/17 94, Extra Load, so I am not very sure we could speak of comfort, but they feel not worse than 205/55/16.
If I could find them, I would definitely buy them if I have no money for more expensive tyres - Continental, Michelin, Goodyear, etc.

Writing about the Pirelli P6000 given 36% (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
I've only done 5000kms, and i want them off now, All i need to do to get understeer is sharply turn the steering wheel, the car goes straight. I drive a Alfa 156 2.0L, the tyres aren't bad driving normal, but drive that little bit faster then you realise you were driving near the limit of the tyres, thats scary. Did i mention that i'm still driving with 1mm tred on my old Bridgestone Adrenalin's at the back, and i'm thinking of rotating the tyres front to back, feels like i'd have more grip. These tyres are dangerous, for the same money you have a huge selection
