Whilst not near the latest top "sports" car tyres the feedback and progression make these a DRIVERS tyre second to none.
In other words if you have moved beyond the deep breath and white knuckle brigade these could be for you.

had Sp9000's and Sp01's on, the 01's were the best of a bad bunch, my car was heavy and 240BHP was too much for them, the grip was predictable- drive=grip drive. faster=grip on edge. drive fast=no grip just loss of traction. didnt suit my car.

Very nice tire, very comfortable and on wet and dry decent grip. And tire did last 40k km.

I was diappointed at the wear(28000 and probably 2000 miles left before chnage),as I have had 32K miles from Continental tyres on a Range Rover, a much heavier car,Judging by feedback on these, they are probably a good buy currently quoted £604 for four tyres fitted and balanced.

These lasted 31,371 and were down to 3mm across the whole tyre, could have probably got another 2-3k out of them. Well priced tyres that perform well too although not as good as some tyres on here id give them 7/10.

Given 89% (breakdown) while driving a Audi A4 (235-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 29,000 spirited miles
These were on the front since 100K and on 125k I changed them to the rears with 5mm I was impressed, and now on 129k and they have 3mm left! Where did the 2mm go in 3k?

Its a good tyre that offeres good grip in wet and dry but not the best I have had. I think they will probably last asbout another 3k and its going to be Michelin PS2 time!

Reaqing reviews to judge the next purchase is difficult. I have had these SP 01;s on since new and they've done just over 30K, and need changing soon. My car is a heavy diesel FWD and the tyres have been rotated, but IMHO getting 30K out of a set of tyres when I tend not to drive to slowly is not to bad. Alternatives I was considering all appear to wear out around 20K such as the Kuhmo KU31's, whats the point of buying cheaper if they last 50% less?. These tyres will take me safely across the uk and back in a day, from suffolk, I can drive in all weathers with no concerns over cornering and road conditions, I find no concern in the wet or dry. Will buy again cos spending £400 on a new set of tyres only to find you don't like em is not my idea of fun.....
