Only been on a couple of hundred miles found they needed an extra 2 or 3 psi more than the owners manual suggest otherwise it felt like the tyre was flexing in corners. Wet grip is good but the inside wheel seems to lose grip powering out of a corner. This could actually be a good thing as it warns that the limit is being approached, the outside wheel seems locked to the road so steering isn't affected

Rushed out and bought a full set of these after reading all the rave reviews on this website. Have to say I am disappointed - Straight away I noticed the handling wasn't as sharp as the Bridgestone/Dunlop mix previous. If you drive along at 50 - 60mph and gently rock the steering it’s a very worrying feeling I can assure you. In bend they are ok being reasonably progressive although you don’t have to push that hard before they start squealing and ultimately losing grip. Accelerating and braking is what you would expect - nor deserving merit or criticism.
On the plus side they are good value, quiet, comfortable and judging by the thick thread will last for ages. What with all the good weather of late I haven't been able to put them through their paces in the wet.
In terms of how they look at first I wasn’t sure but I'm coming round….
Would I buy them again? Not sure.

I found these tires ok in the dry and no noisier or less comfortable than other tires I have had fitted. The downfall of these tires is without doubt the lack of grip in the wet. I understeer everywhere and it doesn't take much at all to get the traction controll light flashing. They have worn ok but I'll be relieved to get rid of them due to the fact if I forget to be extra cautious in the wet I am quickly reminded by drifting towards the nearest ditch.

Approx 6,000 miles later, these tyres have been great they appear to be hard wearing.
They grip well in wet weather and dry weather, however I would say they exceeded my expectations in wet weather conditions.
Excellent tyre for the money, and I will be purchasing these again
