Fitted 2 to my rx8 - better feal and grip than the recommended bridgestones at several times the price.So impressed i deliberately search for more and now have complete set.Great tyre - try them instead of listening to the gripes on websites.

Took a punt and went for these on my RX-8 231PS after 3 sets of Bridgestone RE040 and a set of Bridgestone RE050A. Superb tyre in all conditions and outperforms the stock RE040s by miles. Marginal performance over RE050A, though generally better in the wet and cold weather. Still got stuck in the 2009/2010 snow though ;-)
Super price too (though 'the market' seems to have caught up since and they're not such a bargain vs Bridgestones)

I bought those from UK and i love them since then.
I can do whatever i want with my rx8 even drifting in the wet and still don't get wear on them!
No aquaplane,predictable tyre with good grip in wet and dry!
I will def. buy again!

After researching dozens of decent quality tyres from prices of ?100 through to ?200 reading these reviews on here and loads of others, these were the tyres i ended up getting and i cannot reccommend them enough, i have them on the front and without doubt will be replacing the rear later this month with the same, brilliant in dry and wet, ive done 6000 miles and they still look new and handle far better then any tyre ive used before of the same spec. Ive really thrown my car around on country roads pushing harder then is sensible to be honest and not once did it give the slightest indication it was struggling, even in the snow and slush ive gone exactly where ive wanted to be. a friend of mine whos runs a BMW 330 clubsport who is a diehard eagle F1 fan really pushed them and afterwards reluctantly admitted there were as good as his, i bought them for ?230 a pair including delivery from hull (im in kent) so with hindsight great value for at least another 18 months to two yrs of life left. i have done the hardwork, ive researched spent hrs over many nights reading and checking and comparing and now from experience say dont waste any more time, get these...

Surprisingly excellent tyres bought to replace the Potenza R040's that car came with. They lasted ages and were very excellent for normal road driving from April to November, borderline useless on ice and almost reasonable on snow. I used these on a few track days too and they offered good drip on dry days and lots of opportunities to practice powersliding on wet days. The only gripe I have with these tyres is that once they get hot they become a little bit like soap bars and that's not on track! If I had a sensible car I would buy them again, but for the time being it's time to move on to the UHP sector. :-)

These tyres are fantastic. So far ive only got these on the front (rears to follow shortly) but they are a huge leap ahead of the standard Bridgestones. Road feedback is excellent, dry grip is incredible and very reassuring, turn-in is sharp and direct, they're quieter than the bridgestones and they dont tramline anywhere near as badly. Only had them on for around 2000 miles, but so far I am blown away! Wet grip seems very good too (the Avons ZZ3 on the back break away long before the Ultracs do) and when they do begin to slip, its very progressive and predictable. Well worth the money!
