Very pleased with these. Run them at around 38psi and fronts have done 20k with only small amount of wear and rears like new.
Not good in snow because of the low profile but that's normal but in the dry they are great. Wet is average and perfectly safe if you are sensible.
When new they are very quiet but noise has increased as they have got older but still not noisy.
I would buy these again.

The sidewalls seem to bliseter out if you touch a kerb or drive through a pothole (which is unavoidable on British roads these days). They seem to perform reasonably well in dry and wet, but becuase of the blisters I have to replace them to maintain the roadworthiness of my Megane. The comfort is sub standard - you really know what surface you're driving on.

ive had two sets of these tyres now and ive got to be honest and say these tyres are brilliant. they have great grip in both dry and wet and are excellent against aquaplaning. ive had many set of tyres over the years and these are one set i cant really fault. the ride is excellent, they are very quiet and very smooth. i would have liked a few more miles out of a set but thats only a minor niggle. i do a mixture of driving from motorways to country lanes and most of the time im quite a brisk driver and these tyres are very progressive near the limit. they have lots of grip and very quiet so suit sporty saloon cars perfectly. but if your after pure traction then go for the f1 assymetrics.

They make a lot of noise, wet grip is...better say is not.
Never buy these again.
Wear is ok. about 40k KM~ 25k miles, and still to go until mark.

It seems to have good tires instaled on my car. It's 3 years I drove Goodyear. Change with snow ones in winter, otherwise, it sleap on snow the summer one. Good luck.

Excellent improvement in wet weather handling, dramatically reduced aquaplaning when hitting puddles at high speed. Very confidence inspiring.
