Good Tyre, reasonably priced. Good drive on both wet and dry surface.
just replaced after 24000, driven mostly on rural roads.
Only down side, hopeless in heavy snow, no traction as proven in winters of 2009 and 2010.

These are really excellent tyres, I've been very impressed by them. Grip is superb in both wet and dry, and they let go in a very gentle way. No issues with aquaplaning. Steering weight is a little light for my tastes, but the tyres are responsive and adjustable on the bends. Very nice handling characteristics. No tramlining at all - this has been a pleasant surprise!! Reasonably quiet, not the best but not noisy either, and a nice smooth ride. Best thing though... for a high performance tyre, the wear rate is exceptional!!! Just rotated my tyres at 13,000 miles and there's still plenty of tread, enough for me to get close to 25,000 out of the set I reckon. Highly recommended, a great all rounder.
Used this tyre on my Civic 2.0 FD2A;road handling in dry & wet is great; wear for me was low & lasted 65,000km. Only dislike was the Rough Noise it gives especially after 50% tyre wear........ Will try other tyres like F1 Asymmetric hopefully with lower road noise.....

Just coming into my second winter with these. Compared to my previous set of winter tyres (Dunlop M3s), these aren't quite as good in the snow (of course, they're awesome in the snow compared to summer tyres...!) but are extremely good on both wet and dry cold roads. Wear rate is superb, I'm looking at 30,000 miles plus out of these, which is way more than my summers. MPG has also been consistently a couple of notches better. I ran these into May last year with no adverse effects - the all-season claim made for these tyres seems reasonable although you do sacrifice grip in warm&wet conditions so I'd be reluctant to run these through the summer. An excellent tyre, particularly for the uk, as they seem more balanced to dry/wet conditions rather than out-and-out snow and ice performance. Extremely good value too, considering also wear/fuel consumption. I'll definitely look to source these again when the current set wears out.

very impressive tyre. grips very well in wet or the dry. much more progressive handing and breakaway in comparison to Eagle F1's and an all round better tyre. swapped now to bridgstone re050 tyres and are very similar in performance

Hmmm. I think the best thing that can be said about these tyres is that they last. And last. And last. A long time. As such they're great value and they offer excellent levels of grip. However, it stops there. I found the ride quite hard (compared to other tyres on the car) and noisy, with a distinct roar. Feedback and progressiveness- forget about it. Steering response is nothing to write home about, and these tyres tramline and pull your steering around quite badly. So they're not too pleasant to drive on twisty rough roads (especially considering the poor comfort issues). If you're doing a lot of motorway miles and you have a car with soft supension that's well insulated from noise, these could prove a great tyre. Otherwise no thanks!

came fitted on the car. they lasted forever, around 24000 miles. that was the only good point
poor grip in the wet and dry. the compound is just made for longevity. sidewalls are so soft the letters have worn off them due to hard cornering
did not inspire any confidence in the car
noisy at high speed on the motorway, screechy when cornering fast
very expensive to buy!!!!!
they lasted forever but i couldnt wait to get rid.
replaced with vredestein ultrac sessantas and transformed the car.
