My tyres were still road legal at 40,000 miles. This is when the car was serviced and the dealer measured the tread depth.

This has to be one of the best road tyres I've ever used, the grip from cold and in the wet is stunning and they're pretty decent in the dry too.

One thing I will say though is I do a lot of trackdays and these really don't hold up well to track abuse. The rubber overheats and starts to break apart rather rapidly so if you're planning on doing a track day go try something else!

I've used these tyres for the last two years, and iv'e had to get them ballanced constantly. they're out at normal motorway cruising speeds! I'm taking them in again later today and i'm considering replacing them with Vredesteins 275/30/19. Other than that they are great tyres, feel very grippy but tramline a bit under heavy braking if the road's not too smooth, but that's more to do with the rubbish british roads designed for tractors!! they turn in very well an give good feed back at hi-speed. I just wish they'd stay ballanced! Might be the car but i doubt it.

Tyres look good on car and give reasonable dry grip. Wheel spin is a major problem with these tyres and despite having 4wd car still struggles to get away from lights swiftly without drama in both dry and wet conditions. Usually results in traction control cutting inn and loss of power not what I was expecting from this car with a premium brand tyre fitted. Can only praise this tyre for its ability to resist aqua-planing.
