I had these on my fiat 500 by diesel they were factory fitted too the car. We found them too be great handling around corners, very gripy,but it's quiet a hard ride, not sure if this is the tyres or just how the car is set up?
Iv just had too change the front tyers after 21,000 miles as they were worn on the inside and outside.
Not cheap at £178 for two tyres but I was impressed with the tyres so thought it was best too buy the bridgestones

OEM supplied tyres. Excellent for handling and grip although the FIAT recommended tyre pressures seem too high if driving solo. The tyres have quite a stiff sidewall and hard rubber and even with the pressures eased off by 5psi and the car driven hard, they remained cool.
Tyre wear was excellent with the fronts good for at least 20,000 miles and the rears probably for 30,000.
Comfort was not a high priority and the car is stiffly sprung.
On snow they were pretty good for summer tyres but in the rain the performance decreased quite a bit so that they never gave a feeling of great confidence and once down below 4mm they aquaplaned a couple of times.

£35/tyre, full set was £140, found the grip to be better than the OEM Goodyears (£65/tyre)!
Wet grip is good, but not excellent, after all, it's cheap. (better than previous Goodyear tyres).
Wear is good.
It is very predictable. Above average.
Fuel economy suffered in comaprison to the eco Goodyears, but only by about 3%.
Definitely recommend them for any use.

They're fantastic in the wet and you can drive through deep puddles and the car just steers straight and true.
