Great tyre, commensurate with the price. Very impressive in wet which is when a good tyre proves itself most. Very good level of comfort and noise. I guess there's a reason why they're getting OE contracts with major european manufacturers such as BMW now.

Great tyre, much better than previous Dunlop SP Maxx. Very quiet, much more comfortable ride and has decreased on board computer fuel consumption by 2 miles per gallon within weeks! Picked up the BMW spec H rated tyres from the link on this site for a very reasonable price. Would definitely buy again.

Great tyres, especially in wet conditions, but only got 30,000km from a set though.

Tyres seem good in the dry, but are pretty poor in the wet, especially from take-off.
Noise is the most alarming thing.... compared to my pirelli p7's previous, these are terrible. They really do rumble down the motorway and at 60mph + speeds.
I've noticed with the weather getting colder ( less than 5'c) these tyres compared to the p7's slip and loose traction far sooner. Not tried them in the snow yet, and that was the weakness of the P7's.
Would I buy again? Probably not.

These tyres were put on my car by the dealer before I bought it. I really struggled for grip in the wet from day one. Noise levels are extremely high and comfort is poor. Just how poor they were was confirmed whem I replaced them with some Hankook Ventus Prime 2 which transformed my car completely.
Think very seriously about the compromises you're making before purchasing these tyres. They are cheaper and last well, but they certainly don't grip well.

These tyres are a genuine false economy!! They have decent grip in both wet and dry, but tyre noise got so bad I had 2 wheel bearings replaced before realosing it was the TYRES. Replaced with Pirelli P6000s and massive difference and not that much more expensive!
