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 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!
