I fitted these to my Ford Focus 2006 model after reading reviews on here, and I am glad I did read the reviews, these tyres are outstanding, they are great in the dry and excellent in the wet (as we live in England, I would recommend these tyres to anyone)
I used to go through tyres really quickly (Avon ZZ3's) but have had these tyres for quite a while now, there is loads of tread to start off with on these tyres, but also has a fairly hard compound, but does not mean it doesnt grip in the dry, because it sure as hell does.
I cannot fault these tyres at all

an amazing tyre, fantastic for money, offers far better quality than tyres more than 50% more expensive.
definately a must for a keen driver on a budget

I had these tyres fitted by Kwik Fit a few months ago and have to say I've been quite impressed. I had Continental on the car from new and these grip just as well in all conditions. Also the Marangoni tyres are noticeably quieter on my car that the continentals.
All in all they seem to be a very good quality set of tyres.

These were the factory fitted tyres on my Focus and i have to say...i think they are a great tyre. The road noise can be a little loud but other than that, it grips well in both wet and the dry and the feedback you get from this tyre is reasonably good. They do tend to twitch when you hit a bump or go over slightly uneven road surfaces but they grip through it. Coupled with the ESP traction control system in my car...i have no problems with driving in wet or the dry with these tyres! The added bonus is that they are more environmentally friendly than most other tyres, as they have a low rolling radius and so you don't need much engine power, helping you to reduce your CO2 emissions. I would recommend this tyre if you're looking for a good all rounder.

I got 14,000 kms out of these tyres, grip was exceptional in wet and dry. Wear on shoulders shocking...
Noise of coarse roads almost unbearable...

I have only used these tyres on this car, so i cant compare them to any other tyre, however when these tyres were new they gave excellent grip on the dry and wet. but after doing about 7000 miles on them i could notice a clear differance to the grip levals. after about 10000 miles i had to change the tyres as they had worn down to the legal limit. I did expect a high performance tyre like those to last at least double that milage. I have used michilin on a diffirent car and those still had about 20000 miles left on them at 30000 miles. it was also a big blow at the price if these sport cont 2's ?180 for one. which is quite expensive every 10000 miles. thats just over ?700 pounds spent on tyres alone every year.
The ride comfort on these tyres are a little hard but you expext that from lowish profiles, it would also depend on what type of suspension you have on your car, so i cant really comment on the ride comfort.
however with all this said i think this is a very good tyre for grip and control but just wears down too quickly.

Replaced Michelins with these. OK in the dry but awful in the wet. Right from day 1 they have given me lots of frights. Would nit recommend or buy again.
I bought two for the front initially I seemed to get excessive vibration on the car, I put that down to having different tyres on the rear so I changed them to Wanli aswell.
Now I could completely advise you to steer clear of these tyres but and heres the but they have worked brilliantly over the really bad months during winter. I watched others slip and slide while these babies kept me rolling. Thanks to the snow/ice and general wet weather it masked the road noise they produce.
It is now April though and thankfully the snows gone. The noise though is louder than ever. If you've ever been in a Army land rover then you will recognise the noise that is made. This is also converted into some unwanted vibration aswell. I suppose and if you can afford it I would remove these tyres and keep till Winter, in the meantime get some low noise ones. Which I think I'm going to have to do.
