Vauxhall Astra SRi CDTi 1.9 150 Tyres

Amazing tyre so far - 8K in and showing no noticable signs of wear

These tyres were used on my Astra Diesal and being a sales rep. I do between 50-60k miles a year so go through tyres on a regular basis. These Michellins grip exceptionally well wet or dry and are a very comfortable tyre as soon as they were put on I felt the difference. And they really do last I regulary hit 90 mph+ on motorways and country lanes and they grip well, and i got 50k out of the last set which is excellent. They are expensive though which is the only downside.

Very happy with these. Have never thought of buying budget tyres, were brought from STS tyres who told me that they were produced by continental, which checks out, a real real good buy.

never had a set of firestoner up till last novmber i got told not to buy them as they would not last long as i drive hard. but they have out lasted the dunlop i had wot lasted 6000 miles.

Just had the tyres put onto my vauxhall astra 1.9 cdti the drive of the car has changed considerably. The grip in the wet is phenmonal tyres stick to the road like glue. Overall Tyre seems good will comment in a few months time re wear. From what i have seen of them so far i would buy these tyres again.

Superb Budget - Mid range tyre.
I am still running these tyres on the front of my car and have had them on for 6000 miles still hardly worn at all.
These have so far outperformed the previous 225 45 17 AVON ZV3's and KHUMO's that I have peviously used on the front of my 1.9cdti Astra H.
If you are in the market for a quality tyre on a budget then I would have no hesitation in recomending the NEXEN N6000 under or normal driving conditions and habits.

I have driven many vehicles on budget brands, and these out perform all of them. I have driven on them now for around 10000 miles and must say they perform really well on all surfaces and I have not noticed any annoying tire noise. I drive 'very' spirited but I rely more on experience and intelligence rather than pushing my tires to the limit. In fact these tires perform so well that I have fitted them to my girlfriends car.

Lastly:
Apparently the 'Primewell' name is owned by Pirelli (and the Pz is a Pirelli design tread pattern)

I bought these tyres out of desperation last winter when I could not find any winter tyres available anywhere for love nor money. I had the tyres fitted to the front axle for traction and from the outset I could feel a distinct difference between these and the previously fitted summer tyres. During the first 200 miles or so of moderate driving the car felt stable and made steady progress in light snow covered roads, slush and ice. Once the snow and ice had disappeared the tyres performed well in the wet and dry with good braking traction. They needed about 400 miles or so to bed in to provide what I would describe as a comfortable and positive drive and have performed well for the last 1500 miles on all road surfaces during the colder temperatures. My only disappointment has been their road handling and traction on wet roads whilst negotiating roundabouts for which reason I mark them down on progression and wet grip. The sidewall profile and flexibility of the tyre leads to a rolling sensation and slight loss of traction in the steering. I would not use these tyres all year and will look to fit summer tyres now that the warmer weather is coming and for more spirited driving. As a last resort purchase during the winter they have served well and are highly recommended for sensible driving during cold weather snow and ice and I will happily refit them next winter to see me through the worst of the weather. Not enough miles done to assess their wear but they appear to be lasting well. As with all tyres, the correct tyre pressure is a must have to get the best out of these tyres. Not the most aesthetically pleasing tyre to look at with a plethora of information imprinted on the sidewall.

I've just changed back to my Winter Nokian WR G2 tyres ready for the colder spell. I was reminded when I got them out, that they had barely worn on the rears, but the fronts had about 5.5mm left. Baring in mind that they start off with 10mm, and I've only had them a year, I think that they wear a little fast. I do accelerate and brake quite a bit for roundabouts, have a windy, hilly route and I suppose driving faster than most doesn't help, but I'm less than impressed with only getting 2 winters out if them, especially when most people say that they get 4 winters, or 20,000 miles. So I made sure that they were swapped over, so that I can replace all 4 at once, after getting the most out of them. Saying that, my summer tyres (F1 Assymetrical 2's) are similar, but wear at a slightly better and closer rate. Plus in the summer I tend to drive faster and have more fun.

I agree with an earlier comment, they do have great grip on snow, good in the dry and ok in the wet. I live on an incline (probably about 5%), and there were taxis and other cars struggling to get up, me too a couple of years ago. But since I've had my Nokians I've never had any problems climbing hills, let alone my road. My only only real issue with them is the tendency to loose grip when cornering on snow or slush, or sometimes when its raining. Saying that, sweeping bends etc are ok, its roundabouts where you turn tighter that are the main problem, and it's not like I'm taking the roundabout too fast either.

I have noticed that Nokian have released some improved models, namely the WR A3 & WR D3, I'll read the reviews on here next summer and if they have better turning ability I'll try to find another brand that do. Afterall, its great getting up hills but whats the point if you struggle to turn, you'll just get stuck somewhere else. That defeats the point of winter tyres. Afterall, I don't want to get stuck, thats why I bought winter tyres in the first place.

Great tyre in the dry and wet but they are almost worn out after 7000 miles. would buy again for grip but not for wear
