No screeching when pushed hard on dry, still holds well.
Need to be pumped a bit hard to have better handling else will be a little bouncy round the corners. Feels that the car much willing to move forward will monitor if better fuel efficiency recorded.
Wet handling good but not the best.
Noise level is good
Signs of wear very minimal even after 10,000+km

Superb grip and handling in both dry and wet, straight aquaplaning good too, even copes with soft ground crossing fields remarkably well. Not the most rigid carcass, needed a couple of extra PSI to bring the feel up to my Nokian WR-G2 winter tyres (which are AWESOME!), feel not the sharpest, but still good enough to cope with wiggly dodgy roads and have some fun. Braking very good both dry and wet, wear very good. To sum up, a very good allround summer tyre, maybe not quite the sportiest, but the best compromise I think I've found, recommended.

very good in the dry grip zone, no understeer when pushed to the max torque and turns. a little bit of noise occurs in 100km/h, it's acceptable for a mid range tire.

Superb tyres I cannot rate these tyres enough & seem to be a well kept secret. For the time that I have had them they have dealt with some horrendous conditions from snow and ice to large amounts of standing water they just dont seem to want to let go unless really pushed & even then they let you know just how much grip they have. I have had them now for just over 6000 miles and they have hardly worn down at all for a car that is not to light and for 85% of the time is loaded 4 up, also as a bonus since fitting my average mpg has increased by 2-3 mpg round town and up to 5 mpg on a long run. I just hope that they are readily available in my size when I need to replace them.

Gone through a set of 4 tyres in 14,000 miles.
Very good grip for a mid range set of tyres, can really feel them biting into the road in the dry. Nice and progressive in the wet too, gradual breakaway when they do let go.
Wear isn't as good as I would have hoped, however you can't expect miracles when trying to put 200BHP and 400nM through the front wheels via a lead foot ;-)
For a set of 4 at £380 however I could have a set of Michelin PS3's!

Great tyres at a mid range price. Great all rounder, excellent grip wet or dry. Very good in the recent snow. To me the best combination, Michelins on the front, & cs6's on the rear.

After having Continental ContiSportContact 3's, I went for the Zeon CS6's for price and a change. I've had them fitted to the rears for 11k miles and the front for 2k miles. Wear rate appears to be excellent with plenty left on the rears and the front (I don't have a tread depth gauge to give exact figures).
Grip-wise they haven't let me down in either the wet or the dry during normal and sometimes rapid driving, and although I haven't put them right to the limit I do have confidence in them. Since having them fitted they haven't had a negative effect on fuel economy either.
The only complaint I have with them is the road noise they produce, which is noticibly louder than the Continentals. Considering they cost considerably less than the Continentals per tyre, and I expect them to at least match their longevity, I think they are good value and would buy them again.

I have used Cooper tyres before on my Audi TT, which I had from new with Michelin Tyres, they did 13,000 miles replaced with Cooper, sold the car at 22,000 the tyres were still like new.
My husband has the same brand on his Audi Q7 again after 12,000 mikes they still are like new, again had the car brand new, orginal Goodyear 7,000 miles, 1st replacement set Continental 7,000 miles
Great value for money.
