General driving style, Goodyear GSD3's have the best grip(Wet or Dry) but only lasted 16,000 on the front the inside edge gone, outside edge 3mm, ( due to camber).
Was really disappointed with life of these- overall 5/10

Car came with them all round as stock. Replaced the fronts almost right away as grip/traction felt poor and had cracks along the grooves when I got the car with 9k miles on it.
Replaced with Potenza S-03s which were much better.. I was starting to forget how much better until I recently rotated the tyres putting the orginal rear dunlops back on front. WoW, I really appreciate just how good the S-03s are now.
Although I've already ordered some Falken FK452s to try on the front.
Dunlops to be avoided imho.

General driving style, Grip OK, feel a bit vague near the linit, front tyres destroyed after 19,000 due to tracking out by 0.5mm. Rears after 3 years old (4.5mm)failed MOT due to mis-shape (both). Replaced with goodyears would not buy these Bridgestones again ever!
