Bought these to replace Pirelli P6000s on my 2001 2.2 Astra Coupe (145bhp).
Have done about 10,000 spirited miles on them and they are nearly down to the wear indicators, so one point to make is that they aren't particularly long lasting. I got a bit more out of the Pirellis.
However, performance wise these are much better than the Pirellis. No break away from a fast standing start, loads of feedback (can always tell when on the limit), good performance in wet (and by that I mean even if heavy standing water 80mph can be achieved before noticeable aquaplaning occurs). I drive with the radio on so can't comment on road noise, but I can say it's not unreasonable, although I would refer to other reviews for details of this.
Bought these for ?45 each from camskill but now they're up to ?55 (damn recession). Still miles cheaper than the p6000s. Will definitely be buying another pair shortly. Great for a semi hot fwd car but don't know if i'd put a pair on a VXR?

wet weather can be fun but hey you should drive to the road anyway

Grip in dry beats ZZ3 (60% grip compared, Kumho Ecsta (80% grip compared), Falken Rotational (70% grip compared) sorry do not know exact name, Nankang NS2 (55% grip compared)
Wear is worst i have had on any tyre though but my last front tyres was the Nankang NS2 and they lasted far too long for the abuse i put them through trying to kill them so i could get the horrible things off my car!!!!
All of the fugures above are from what i experienced driving different tyres, I cant justify buying the Pirelli P Zero Neros for the extra ?35 as i dont think that they will perform much better than what these already do for me, they have soft sidewalls so buying the xl version is advisable
