BMW X6 M (315/35 R20 R) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Driving in dry conditions and little to no issues as soon as it’s wet they are dangerous! Exiting islands and car loses grip and actually slides on all 4 wheels! Tyre wear is hopeless 30% worn in 3000 miles only, car just had first MOT so mileage exact

Using them on lexus RX300 2004 4x4
Very quiet pattern, comfort is noticeable. But, feel a bit of vibrations as need to have them again balanced.
this summer did not almost rain, can not provide valuable feedback on water.

The overall grip inspires confidence plus the low noise level is noticeably better than my previous Yokohamas.Very pleased so far.

Given 69% while driving a Lexus IS250 RWD (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 50,000 spirited miles
Had these Tyres as stock, as for tyre specs - nothing special. Quite good handling, braking and waterproofness but bad ride comfort.
As stock Tyres these are fine.

Given 89% while driving a SEAT Ibiza FR 1.2 (215/45 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 24,000 average miles
Just changed the fronts on my Seat Ibiza FR got 24,000miles out of them so cannot complain on how well they last. The car sticks to the road. I can however spin the front wheels from a if I am a bit sharp when pulling off.
Decided to keep with them despite the cost £90 each. This is more down to the odd size.

Given 57% while driving a Audi A1 (215/45 R16 V) on mostly country roads for 8,200 spirited miles
Hard ride and high road noise. Reasonable dry grip (poorer in the wet) and handling, with fairly poor road feedback. Replaced with Continental Premium Contact 2 which seem much more compliant and grippy, slightly quieter, and offer a smoother ride.

Given 82% while driving a Mercedes Benz S500 (275/40 R19) on mostly country roads for 0 easy going miles
Just replaced Pirellis on my S Class 550L. Asked the dealer what were best for comfort and noise and these were recommended. Very pleased with them so far. Can't believe how much improvement there is over the Pirellis especially in comfort. The S Class is very refined anyway, but much smoother now. Will have to wait to assess wear.

Given 72% while driving a BMW 520d M Sport (275/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
275 40 18 are a rip off size made so made it a mission to compare makes. These are equivalent grip to Contisport 5 which came with the car from new, but much quieter. Grip of the Dunlops and Contis In wet or cold weather on RWD is poor spinning out of junctions with normal driving - POOR.

Had Hankook Evo 117 on previously, average wearing but WAY better traction no wheel slip - will be buying the Hankooks again

Great tyre, well priced, very quiet on all roads and made the car handle very well when needed.

Given 48% while driving a Mercedes Benz A45 (235/35 R19 W) on mostly town for 8,000 average miles
chunks of rubber flew off the inside edge on the motorway. Car had no faults and was well serviced. The rest of the tyre had 5-6mm across the tread. Took them all off and replaced with Pirelli as no taking the risks of dangerous tyres. Seen a few other threads with this happening so not a one off. Poor show Dunlop!

Given 59% while driving a Honda VTR 1000 FireStorm (180/55 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 2,650 spirited miles
Had these on my 99 Honda Firestorm.
Ok tyre but a bit sloppy in the wet and feel numb and dull in the
Dry. Not a bad tyre by no means but little feedback and only mid-level grip.
Ok for mile munching but can be a little noisy at times.
Tyres have about 1/3 life left in them but I'm looking at changing already as I'm beginning to lose faith in them especially as winter is coming!

Given 73% while driving a SEAT Toledo (215/45 R16) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
I am driving (Seat Toledo 2014.) on sport maxx about 15.000 km, on dry roads tyres are ok, handling is good, on hard brakings abs reacts earlier than i expect. On wet roads I have feeling that car is often on the edge, not satisfied how tyres act. Not comfortable tyre, but have great lateral "shield", saved wheel rim once after was pierced. For lasting - medium rating.
