I have used these tyres on my Ford Escort 1.4 Hatchback for the past 9 years in South Africa under mostly hot conditions (road temp up to 70 deg Celsius, ambient up to 38 deg Celsius) both on and offroad. Have just had to replace them after 123,000km. The best all-round tyre I have ever experienced, and I will never use anything else for everyday use.

Driving on mostly town for 400 easy going miles
Bought these to get my car through it's MOT £50 each so got 2 on the front. Don't drive the car much about 4k a year if that soon as fitted vibration straight to steering wheel. Got the tyre fitter to check the balance he said that they were ok. Drove the car for a week before its MOT the car passed and with no advisories. Took the car from Liverpool to York the first time on the motorway what a nightmare from 40 to 60 mph the vibration was terrible nearly abandon my journey but the car started to run smoothly but not perfect at about 70mph. Went to another tyre fitter he just pointed a the tyres and said "you should have gone to him" basically they MOT passes thats it. I had partworns put on the front and the others put on the back. Haven't tried them in the wet yet but going round bends at moment the back end is dancing like I don't what. And after reading other stories I'll be parting them tyres very soon before the bad weather comes. Thanks everyone.

Driving on mostly motorways for 18000 spirited miles
These are a great tyre. Without pushing really hard i have never come unstuck in the wet. Even when it was raining very heavily with very strong winds on the motorway, i have never had a hint of aquaplaning even at 70+- a few mile an hour. In the dry they are also very good again never really getting out of shape unless pushing hard. I do mainly motorway miles travelling to and from home at the weekends. I have had these tyres fitted for the last 16 months and have covered over 18,000 miles and they still have mountains of tread. So with regards to some reviews saying they are poor wearing they have either had a poor batch (unlikely if all tyres are wearing quickly) or not looking after them correctly E.g not keeping them correctly inflated or overloading without adjusting tyre pressures.
