Got a pair of these for my really old Vectra sri. It's the much more expensive than its rivals but i know its wear rate is brilliant and it's one of the best tyres for this class. Makes the car much more confident at wet braking.
Got sold a pair of Firehawk by the Vauxhall dealer for almost the same price as the Michelins. Gutted.

The best good priced tyre I have ever had. I drive quite hard and have never had a problem with these Tyres, neither in dry or wet conditions. I didn't have any wear problems with the yokos as I did with other Tyres of the same price. I did find in the snow that they gripped really well and always passed other less unfortunate drivers, but I did have traction control so tale it with that in mind. I now have a Mondeo TDI and will be changing the cheap budgets It has on it with S306s when they are worn out.

I bought the s.drives as a replacement for my Toyo T1-Rs. They are just as good overall, if a little more costly. The dry handling is very good, with pleanty of grip on acceleration, and less slip when conering compared to the T1-Rs. They are surefooted tyres and a little more confident in the wet than the toyos, and *touch wood* no push on understeer in the wet, which i experienced with the proxes.
The tyres are very uncomfortable for a performance tyre, compared to the proxes but the payoff is I am confident they will keep me on the road.
Turing though sharp bends in the wet is precise, although there is no real feeling of how close to the limit they are. In the dry the noise on hard cornering, such as a roundabout is excessive. People often mistake the noise for slipping, but it wasn't. The noise is a by-product of hard use, which some users may not like.
It is a good tyre, but the noise and that fact that they are too hard means that next change i will try a set of Pilots.
Appologies for the comparison with proxes, but i have run those for the last 4 years as the standard tyres made me slide all over the place.

awful tyres extremelu dangerous shouldn't be on the market. just bought vectra vxr with these on it 2 weeks ago. no road feel through steering even in dry conditions and an absolute liability in the wet, like driving on black ice. they just let go on corners with no warning at all. terrible road noise and sounds as though a wheel bearing is away. also won't stay balanced. i know they're cheap but please don't ever buy these if you value your life and your car.
