Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 spirited miles
they stick so well the 180 compound ok in the wet but can let go quick. but the softer 120 compound is unbeleivable in the wet and dry .go kart handling at a reasonable price

Writing about the Hero Milanza HZ1 given 54% (195-45-15-V)
Driving on mostly town for 4000 easy going miles
These were on my daughters car, she only passed last year, she's not bad but I noticed when it rained she would drive unbelievably slow, when I asked her why "the car slides everywhere" being the old experienced Dad, I said "step out and watch the ol' man show you how it's done"........ lo and behold they are absolutely shocking in the wet on a light car, I must have looked like a right old tit!! The tread pattern does give a little noise but on a decent sized and higher spec car with better sound deadening probably wouldn't be a major problem. Dry grip was pretty fair to be honest, previous owner put them on so no idea how long they've been on. Overall; not great, better than some, had worse!

bought a set of these for a seat arosa 16v sport that was basically a ready to go track car.. it was lowered with stiff suspension and wider track (alot more punishing on tyres).. i hadyokohama s drives on beforeand i cansay in wet and dry they exeed any premium tyre!.. in the dry i have yet to get them to break contact with the road and in the wet you cn have great confidence in the tyre as there holding on the road is exellent.. they dont squeel... there comfy (even with a lowered car). the rears that were on the front have done 15k and not even half worn n just had another 2 on the front. for £40 a corner inc vat i wouldnt put anything else on my car anymore.

Writing about the Yokohama S Drive given 90% (195-40-16-W)
Driving on mostly town for 500 spirited miles
had them fitted the day i drove my fam to worchester. was one hot day at 26*c which we can safely say is unlikely in th UK!

dry grip is good, didnt get a big a lateral movement when overtaking lorries which is a +. response is sharp, holds it's own at 30-40, lets me turn in more aggressively later.

very very quiet from 60+, def beats the budgets i killed my last set of alloys with. no shaking at any speeds up to 100(god bless motorways). it is, as others have said, a little rigid but use ur brain, lower the psi!! i like feeling th road but being th UK, potholes, lane dividers and outright crazy speed bumps do make u bounce n hit u hard

i did push it to skid around 45 into a sharp right. needed a handbrake to straighten up but i knew how ,when and it behaved nicely

had a little measure and after 500 miles of frankly irresponsible testosterone driven fun and somehow, there's still 8mm of tread?checked hot and cold and still th same?

i'm happy to have moved up to yokohamas, and this tyre. as my first mid range tyre, i cant say it's better then anything except i've had a great oepning 500 miles worth of time with them . it can only get better!

Driving on mostly town for 15000 spirited miles
ive had this tyre for 15000 miles since they were passed down to me from my dad. (he liked cornering at 30-40 here n then round blind corners so they did well for him)

thank god it has a decent tread pattern. dont remember aquaplaining when when driving to worchester at an average of 90+ for 3 hours in heavy wind and rain. good grip taking 2nd exits at 50.

squeals a lot when u push it and i killed an alloy when it gave up on me half way through a turn ...it was dry and dusty but at 35ish, should have held it's own. didnt burst the tyre tho and it only lost 2 psi..??!

i'ave had them for 15000 miles of hard cornering and wild standing starts and th fronts still have around 3mm+! rears r like new at 7mm+ so good for wear. prob because they're so dam hard and you feel everything u go over!

44psi all round

Writing about the Firestone F700 given 43% (185-55-14-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
These tyres grip ok, not too bad in the dry and ok in the wet, though they do let go reasonably easily when pushed. Feedback is good through the wheel.

However i would never buy these tyres again, they are seriously noisey and wear very odly. I had one pair wear like 50p pieces, more worn in some parts of the tread than others, which made them even more noisey than normal. I now have to replace another pair which are fitted to the rear, not through wear, as they actually wear very slowly, but the widewalls are cracking badly and they are only 4 years, covered around 20K miles on the rear.

Not recommended. Going to be replaced with Conti Premiumcontacts.
