I own a 2010 VW Transporter dual cab vehicle and these tyres were fitted as original.I noticed the front two tyres seemed to be excessively but evenly wearing at approx 10000km and I had to replace them(totally bald)at 19000kms. The 2 rear tyres were still approx 80% good. I have now got 28000kms on the odometer and the 2 front tyres are worn down to approx 40%, rears still approx 60%.Very poor service considering my previous 2006 Transporter obtained 63000kms with regular rotation.I keep getting asked if I am rotating my tyres but my response is "the front tyres are too far gone by the time that comes around".To Goodyears credit they did replace the first 2 free of charge but dont want to be going through this every 8 months

Great tyre - very quiet, which I've noticed since changing to a Pirelli - not great in standing water, but communicated well on damp roads, and gave confidence.

These tyres are brilliant in the dry, but it's in the wet they really come into their own for me. Far better than any non RF's Ive used so far. Will definitely be buying a set to replace these.

I had a set of these on my mk4 golf 1.6 and i drive fairly fast... they have been excellent in terms of grip. The tyres let u know when they are losing grip unlike michelins who just all of a sudden spin u off. This help me react. Only ever time they have lost grip is at the back on a wet grate round a bend but say this the golf is a heavy car and i was carry a fair bit... not so great for mile munchers but u cant have grip and expect the miles it cant happen!
just put michelin energy savers on front might stick with these at the rear.
good buy though.
