Ford Mondeo ST220 Tyres

Recently got PS3's for the front end of my st220 after having horrific problems with noise and grip from the budget federal ss595's that i had on before that were dangerous due to me having 220 bhp going through them. The result is as follows:-
NOISE ISSUES/COMFORT
1) Noise level has been reduced by about 70% on road deviations/general running
2) When going down larger holes/drain indentations the impact is far more cushioned and softer
3)speed bumps i hardly feel anymore

DRY GRIP/WETGRIP
1) In the dry they feel like i have an extra 50 bhp compared to the federals and i am getting about 30 miles extra out of a tank of petol
2) In the wet they grip really well with no loss of traction and great progression. I can also now return to going around roundbouts at speed without worrying im about to visit the cows in the fields nearby like i did everytime with the federals losing grip. Dont know why but i felt very slightly more confident in the wet on roundabouts when i had the Pirelli Zero Rosso's on the front, but this may just be down to a difference in the feel of the tyre as i think the Pirellis may be slightly softer.
OVERALL
Massive improvement in the handling of the car and i would definately buy them again. Not sure how long they will last however i will update when im at about 8000 miles.

Only just had these fitted,they are soooo much better than the Pirelli's i had on before, even in the short time i've had these on they gave me so much feedback. will definately replace the rears with these.

I have had these tyres now for 9 months on the front of my ST220 and have covered 9000 miles.The tread now is down to approx 3/4mm. Initially the tyres were superb and very confortable/progressive and great on wet and dry. They do seem to have worn evenly however for the last 1000 miles ive noticed im getting a little tramlining/play through the steering and they are nowhere near as progressive and feels like ive lost about 40bhp compared to when they were new. Ive tried to combat this by increasing the psi from 33 to 36 which seems to have helped with the issues. Not sure if this was caused by the tyre or the suspension/wheel set up as ive had pothole damage previously. Nevertheless they have been through the harsh winter of 2010/2011 and actually coped really well on the snow on a/b roads when other cars got stuck although i think this was down to them being pretty new when the snow came. I did get stuck once on a slight gradiant in my street but hey they are summer tyres and got me home from work 13 miles on the worst night of snow. All in all they were a decent tyre....as for value for money i'd say average as i will probably get ony 12000 miles out of them (although i have to say i drive hard and use most of the 220bhp of my car. I would definately recommend people try them but im gonna give some winter tyres a try in October(maybe Michelin PA3,Continental WinterContact Ts830, or Goodyear Ultragrip performance 2) and then for next summer definately the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 as they have great reviews and i can get them for £130 each fitted from a performance car shop near my work which is £35 per tyre cheaper than the ps3's....

Great tyres for the price. handled good in dry conditions and also held their own in the wet at speed on roundabouts and never felt like they were about to slide. Tyre wear wasnt the greatest but still acceptable.

Generally a good tyre and the dry grip and progressivness are impressive. Wet grip is assured and am confident in braking. These are on a Mondeo ST220 running 270 bhp, so wear is a concern. Now before anyone berates me, these are hopeless insnow or ice, hence a winter tyre is a must. They are an excellent, dry road performance tyre. I also run an old BMW 328I touring with Kuhmo ecsta 39's, it got me through winter and I'm embarassed to say how good they are, an no, I don't work for ANY tyre company. In my opinion they are a little too expensive for what they deliver.

They are ok tyres but do not have the grip of Continentals or Mitchelins. Good in the wet but lack of grip and understeer in the dry. On track grip not as good as I would have expected with the brakes out doing the tyres with constant lock ups under heavy braking (100mph to 30mph). Grip in the colder weather is not good, wet or dry, these really are a summer tyre.

I'm really unsure about this tyre. They were good when they were new, and i struggled to actually wheelspin the car as they gripped the road so well. Unfortunately, as they've got more and more worn, they havelost grip faster than other tyres i've owned. They spin in the wet and sometimes in the dry under slightly hard acceleration. I was expecting more from this tyre given all the good reviews i've read about them.

The BF Goorich g Force Profiler is a typical low to mid cost tyre, with lots of noise on wet tarmac, also when wet slippy pulling away from junctions, with a mostly crashy ride on all but the smoothest of road surfaces. This particular tyre had a tendency to make my car oversteer on right hand exits from roundabouts and would not have been my choice of purchase as putting over 220 BHP through cheap tyres is ludicrous, i purchased my car with these tyres fitted and had them replaced as soon as funds permitted (Dunlop SP Sport Maxx XL) review to follow.

These tyres are dangerous in the weton the front of my car. My st220 feels like its on an icerink. With my cars sensitive geometry the ride using these tyres is almost unbearable....feels the bumps right through the car and like my engine is about to fall off its mount. Guess after the winter im gonna spend some money and get some Michelin Pilot Sport3 ps3 or GoofYear Eagle F1 Asymetric. I have Pirelli P Zero Rosso on the rear after i had to switch them from the front and they are not bad tyres...
