Hmmm. I think the best thing that can be said about these tyres is that they last. And last. And last. A long time. As such they're great value and they offer excellent levels of grip. However, it stops there. I found the ride quite hard (compared to other tyres on the car) and noisy, with a distinct roar. Feedback and progressiveness- forget about it. Steering response is nothing to write home about, and these tyres tramline and pull your steering around quite badly. So they're not too pleasant to drive on twisty rough roads (especially considering the poor comfort issues). If you're doing a lot of motorway miles and you have a car with soft supension that's well insulated from noise, these could prove a great tyre. Otherwise no thanks!

Not saying this is a bad tyre... It's performance is kind of there from the word go, but does improve a little after warming up. I think these things are just not grippy enough for B road fun. Quite a bit of sidewall slew (I have to change these as the shoulders are totally screwed after some hard cornering), but then this does match the compound to produce a nice progressive loss of grip when cornering - but the performance simply isn't that great. Overall, a decent confortable tyre for everyday use, with good wear characteristics. If you push it hard, you shouldn't get into trouble as it has no nasty surprises - it doesn't let you get fast enough!

On from new, good on roundabouts etc, these tyres showed heavy shoulder wear until pumped up to at least 4 psi over handbook pressures, I think diesel engine weight needs more pressure in low profiles to compensate, then wore evenly for 30,000 miles on front, changed these to same tyre but W rated, another 30,000 miles. Then put rears on front, loads of tread but reduced grip - 5 years old - Michelin age problem! I am now trying Kumho KH31's see review.

Probably the best tyres I've ever had. I had these on my BMW on a spare set of 16" alloys.

Grip & handling & braking was great with these on.

I would have kept them on but the 16" alloys were too small & I wanted my 18"s on again.

Very comfortable tyre that lasted ages! Just what it should do! Not sporty in the slightest though...

Generaly the rubber compound is to hard, after time a glaze can be seen across the surface of the tread which reduces the grip significantly.

Not a nice tyre on this vehicle.
