Ony had these tyres on fro 3000 miles so far but have been very pleased, especially with the improvement in fuel economy (from 48mpg to over 55mpg)
Good grip levels, quiet at speed and very comfortable.
will definately be replacing pirellis on my other car with these..

I 've had these tyre's on my Peugeot Partner when bought new, but they're not as good as the brand would asume. They are really terrible on wet roads and only good in warm weather, combined with dry roads.
The ones on the front where worn off after only 20.000 km, but that had a lot to do with a bad camber from factory.
I won't buy these again ever. They're expensive and not worth the money. I will see what brand I'll choose as time coms.

just replaced the front pair of these tyres on a focus tdci estate, the ones coming off the car were not fully worn out but with a 3000 mile trip to france coming up didn't want to take a chance as i understand the french tread depth limit is higher than ours. anyway these tyres have been great for grip in both the wet and dry and coped pretty well with last winters snow. as regards wear the pair that came off the car had been on for 23000 miles and still had 3mm of tread depth left, i dont drive particularly slowly but tend to be smooth and anticipate the need to slow down to avoid unnecessary accelerarion/braking so feel that some of the comments on here re high wear rates are from people who need to take a close look at their driving styles. highly reccomend these tyres.

I have these tyres fitted as standard on my company car 2010 plate & have been very pleased with them. The grip in both wet & dry conditions is excellent & even in snow, the tyres performed brilliantly.
I am due to replace the fronts very soon & will be doing so with the very same tyres. Looking at various tyre fitting sites, these tyres are also reasonably priced.

Been having them for 40,000kms.
Grips well in both dry and wet conditions. Fantastic in the wet - no problems cutting through standing water at high speeds.
May not be to you liking if you want a quiet tyre - roars on motorways.
Only concern is that the both dry and wet performance seem to tail off as it wears out especially in the wet. Oversteered twice on damp roads at moderate speeds.

Did around 16000 miles on a set of PC 2's , found it is not a good long wearing tyre. Also not good in snow.

After a very short wear in these tyres proved to be about the best I have tried so far in terms of grip.
In the dry they turn in and respond superbly
In the wet they grip far more that I expect - better then anything previously
used.
My only 2 small concerns are - 1) Wear - I suspect they will wear out quicker than some. 2) Grip in the snow - they are not as good as my past 2 brands (Pirelli P6 and Kumho Solus KH15 - but are still respectable.
I am torn between continuing next time with these as it doesn't snow a lot - or trying something else (possibly Uniroyal Rain Expert).

bought my toyota yaris in august 2009 and these tires were assembled on it. the grip is excellent in dry weather and good in rainy days. did 16500km in a year and a half and they still look good and with no signs of premature wear.
