Recently brought these tyres after number of weeks checking reviews. What a great tyre compared to my old Pirelli P6 Excellent dry/wet grip and great price from tyre trades.com will buy again.

Mrs had them for 6 months. OK for dry, quiet driving. Distinct lack of feel and grip when road gets damp or wet. Old Toyo T1R's (similar cost) have much better grip all round. Not too much wear but frankly one drive recently and an emergency stop on a damp backroad and I am changing them.
I used to teach driving in this car and did plenty of emergency braking practice so know the car can do a lot better. Previously car had Continental Prem Contacts and then Toyo T1R's.
Buying Hankook Optimo 4S for this winter.

Do not believe that because Semperit are part of the Continental group you are buying a Continental at a knock down price. You are not.
These tyres have a visibly narrow footprint for their width rating, stiff walls, an uncomfortable and noisy ride and are cheap looking. (Sorry Semperit)
I regret to say that having bought a car recently with them fitted I couldn't wait to change them (for Michelins) and have revolutionised the drive,comfort and feel of the car by doing so.

According to the German TEST-magazin (3/2010 page 72, from the official Stiftung Warentest) Nokian H 185/65 R15 has the same test total (2.4) as Pirelli Cinturato P6. Nokian H has better points for Handling and Breaking on wet surface than Pirelli and even the winner of the test, which is Michelin Energy Saver (Total 2.3).
I have not bought them yet but consider buying for my Volvo in April.
It was tested on Mercedes A class

As for the energy saving characteristics - I would estimate that I'm getting c.3% better fuel consumption and as evidence, the car will rolls from stationary on even the slightest incline that it did not do before.
You will pay more for these tyres by Michelin claim that between the fuel saving and the extra road life they will cost in. I have no doubt that this is true.
