Driving on mostly country roads for 9000 spirited miles
Soo i come back, with a tyre review after 15000km. My reviewed might be more negative about handling and more positive about wear as i put them on in October and did most driving while road conditions got worse and worse so less grip less wear keep that in mind. The tyre was great, comfort gets better as the tyres break-in not over bumps but in the corners when you corner really hard at 140kmh they make some vibrating noise witch slowly goes away in few thousand kilometers but not completely, they have about 3mm still left on them its amazing how slowly they wear, and evenly as the manufacturer sayed, my car have a lot of camber specially on the back but the tyres wear completely evely only the outside tyre is very slowly fading away, i run them with 2.80-3bar in them and i have put them front to back at 7000km and i could feel the difference how the rear lost some grip mabey not the grip but the sharpness, some goes now with the front yesterday i tried doing circles and "8" shaped cornes from left to right without any electric control and i did a lot of wear to outside tyres as traction control was not on and on the front i can definitely feel how they lost sharpens Maybe also some grip in the wet, i am angry at myself but those 5minutes were really enjoyable, this tyres are very squealy so the noise is definitely not the limit indicator but they reach and go over the limit very progressively with good feedback you can go over the limit all day and remain comfortable in the tyre, the grip is almost the same in dry and wet maybe not now in the colder temperatures wet road is very slippery many days.. and they deform a lot under extreme load yesterday my friend watching me stopped me after i got a handle of limits because he saved my rims almost touched the floor so yeah this shows the grip is definitely there even in the wet but you can feel is going down with the wear of the tyre. I am recommending this tyres to everyone who drives spiritually, also normally but the comfort factor may make normal drivers choose something else, for the money 108€ with work they are very good but not the best.

Driving on mostly country roads for 1200 spirited miles
So far i did around 2000km, and the tyres are great, my car is very stiff in general, lowered and have quait some chamber level from the factory, my speeds are usualy from 80kmh to 140kmh on normal roads and 160kmh on highways, so the tyre feels great on dry (first few days thay were very loud) and on the wet thay are also very good a bit too good it gives you the confidence that will get you killed, aquaplaning is non existing u to 120kmh, this tyre is very good all rounder just its not comfortable at all, the bumps were always problematic in my car but with this tyres its even worse witch i dont really mind, thay really lay good on the road as the manufactorer is saying thay are wearing relativly evenly even with my high chamber level, witch means alot to me, to sum it up the tyres are sharp but not comfortable, defenitly buy again.

Driving on mostly motorways for 3000 average miles
I bought PS5 for my Alfa GT. Perfect all rounder, which still keeps the comfort, but also wouldn't be ashamed if taken to a track day. After 5k KM with them I can say that I'm superbly pleased, and happy to see the life expectancy, plus with the added bonus of keeping the wet performance when close to end of it's lifetime. Also can confirm the wet performance is really amazing, I felt super safe during my speedy highway night drive across Europe in the pouring rain recently. Perfect tyre for GT cars in my opinion. Dry grip is confidence inspiring too, and when you overcook the corner it gradually warns you and doesn't snap in loosing grip. Easy to recommend this tyre to all driver who want a sporty, but still mostly an amazing road tyre (where it will be used 99.9% precent of the time anyway in my case). Did not review the wear as it's still early to tell. Happy Michelin customer. :)

Writing about the Sava Intensa UHP 2 given 71% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 9320 spirited miles
I did 15k KM's on these. Firstly, these cost 42 GBP, I jus had to try them out. When reading the tests, they were done with tires made in germany and rated C/A/69. Nowadays, they are only made in C/B/70 and made in Slovenia or Poland. Mine are from Poland. Dry grip is ok, depends what you compare it to. I will compare to Dunlop Sportmaxx RT, (not RT2). Grip is similar, in the wet they are ok. But they do need to warm up a little bit to achieve better grip in the dry. Not the quietest, but the comfort is reasonable. They wore to 6mm after 15.000 KMs with my style of driving which is spirited, sometimes really hard in the corners (I have my favorite patch of curvy roads to really push). I like that they are progressive, meaning they warn you and start letting go slightly and won't suddenly snap to oversteer or understeer. So overall, I'm not impressed but you cannot argue that for this price you get a decent tire which is not unsafe in any summer conditions.

Excellent budget tires, they grip really good in corners if pushed hard, very quiet on the road however be careful of potholes because they are soft and can be punctured very easily

Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
Terrible!

Have always gone for Goodyear Eagles previously, but bought a new set of alloys that came with a fresh set of P606's mounted... Turns out they're horrible to drive on.

Understeer, extended braking distances, poor road-feedback, road positioning feels ambiguous and skittish...

They'll be going in the bin shortly!

Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
I have bought this budget tyres last year. I have choose this one because of price ( around 40 euro / tyre ). Before this i was having Continental ContiSport 5. For the price i pay, they are good tyres, but cannot be compared with premium tyres like Pirelli, Michelin or continental.

Grip on dry surfaces is very good, the tyre is soft and if you want to have a sporty style of driving, you will feel that on curves is more than soft. On wet surface, just feels like you're floating. If you catch a summer rain on highway, at 120kmh you don't feel very safe with this tyres. The handling is average good, and they are comfortable...

For the price i pay i guess are very good tyres.

The worst part, is that that the rim protection is almost inexistent. I have 225/40/18 and last year i have refurb my rims... This spring, i need to refurb it again because as i said the rim protection is almost 0.

I don't know how medium budget tyres are, but i guess are similar to this one... so my opinion is that, if you have money choose something premium ( Pirelli, continental, Bridgestone, Michelin ), if not, go with the Tigar. For the price you pay, you will get more than you expect from this tyre.

Driving on mostly motorways for 600 easy going miles
Huge difference compared to previous set, less noise, more comfort, still good grip in both dry and wet and great reduction of fuel consumption, almost 15% less than the old tires. Hope they will last for long, surely recommend.

Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Using them for 20.000 miles so far and still in excellent conditions. Tons of grip in dry and very good in the wet, in any case very easy to spot the limit so you can react to troubles in time.
Had to drive on light snow too and still safe enough, obviously without taking risks.
Fuel consumption average, bit of noise on the motorway but still not annoying, all considered very recommended tyres.

Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Find these tyres to be OK but not really great at anything in particular. Levels of dry grip are OK and not dangerous but easy to spin wheels up even with LSD. Easily loses grip in the wet when pulling away but seems to go round corners OK but I don't have the confidence to push it.

Writing about the Jinyu YU61 given 78% (215-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
Rear tyres on my Alfa were worn unevenly when I bought the car, as I couldn't find anything wrong I suspect they may have been swapped from the front as it had new front tyres. When the rears needed replacing I decided to put a new set of cheap tyres on, to see how they wear & wasn't expecting much from them.
Pleasant surprise, did 500 dry miles in the first week & then traveled 600 miles to the far North of Scotland in absolute torrential rain & high winds all the way. Didn't put a foot wrong no loss of grip in curves & roundabouts no tramlining on the motorway a little more noise than the Continentals they replaced. MPG slightly better which surprised me as I suspect they are a softer compound.
Cant comment on the wear rate as fairly new still. All in all very satisfied & may try them on the front when needed. At £50 fitted a good buy.

Writing about the Cooper Zeon CS Sport given 97% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
A very good tyre. The Coopers replaced Conti Sport Contact 3s and are head and shoulders above them in terms of dry grip, wet grip - which is brilliant - and road noise, with the Coopers being very much quieter. Feedback is really very good and certainly better than the Continentals and progressiveness is also excellent with plenty of warning (very slight understeer) as the tyres approach their limit. Again, these are very comfortable tyres compared to the Contis and in use have hardly worn at all in the thousand miles that they've been on the car. I really can't fault them for the price.
