Mercedes Benz W124 Estate Tyres

Overall: I think that this budget tyre delivers surprising levels of performance for its price range. My rating is benchmarked to what I paid for these tyres so in my books they performed really really well. In the dry: no complaints here. For whatever horses that remain in my old car these tyres are able to handle it all well. Hard braking, cornering on two wheels (ok not really) in the dry there is barely a squeal from the tyres and it has never let me down. Wet: Straight line stability over puddles are excellent. in excess of 100km/h over puddles and the car is arrow straight. Braking in the wet is reasonable. On a down note. When the tyres hit about one year the wet handling dropped. Hard bends in the wet would induce understeer. however straight line is not affected. Wear: 1 year and 30,000km long there looks to be plenty life left on the tyre. Really happy about that. Noise and comfort: I cant say that there has been much different between the noise and comfort since new to now. perhaps de-sensitisation or possibly they just havent degenerated too much. Overall i would recommend this tyre and i would buy it again. Though admittedly i'm tempted to try another flavour just for the hell of it.

Wonderful wear and grip and all year round use. Coped with snow pretty well too, not as good as a full winter tyre though as these are all season.

This tyre was a real plain jane on the shelves, but it sure did perform very well. Dry grip excellent, wet grip in heavy tropical storms even better. (caveat: i drive in a country with ambient temp at 27-30 deg c.) I would recommend this tyre to anyone. the drawbacks though are that they seemed to have wore itself out very quick and before i hit the tread wear indicator the fronts started to aquaplane a bit more than usual (this is after a year). Its also possible that with my confidence in the tyres i did tend to push them in the wet. Another little problem is that i got sidewall bubbles on all 4 of my tyres. could not quite explain why. though sometimes i do have to go up and down kerbs at very very slow speeds. To attest to the softness of the compound, i once had an emergency brake and the wheels literally shaved themselves in that area. you couldnt see it but the drive had a thud thud after. had to do some aggressive slaloms to re-round the tyres..... but i would do it all over again if i had the spare cash

Got these after my conti premium contact 2's. They were huge drop in wet weather performance. comfort, noise, dry and other straight line stuff is still ok, but i found the tyres alarming in the wet. Particularly with wet braking. Wet cornering is still ok, aquaplaning abilities ok. but wet braking NO! On a good note... if youre a cautious driver. This hard compound tyre will last you a bit. Right about this time last year my CPC2's got too thin. The P6's are still humming along with decent tread depth. BTW this is a review of Italian made P6's
