I bought a set of two and fitted them on the front wheels. They wear down a bit faster that michelins and I would blame the car for that to a certain extent (heavy tank and front wheels drive). I've done 14.000 miles and I have just about 4mm left.
It proved to be very good tyre for the price I paid (?85 incl. fitting).
Excellent grip on both dry and wet roads . Good grip when cornering and breaking.
It needs a couple of miles to warm up then the ride is quiet and comfortable . I'd dare to compare it to top brands tyres.

Bought these tyres in error, actually ordered primacy hp tyres but these came in, got them fitted anyway
rear tyres are almost to the limit now at around 17k, although theres a hell of a lot of grip in the wet and dry, bit shocked at how quick they ware, on the front of the car they lasted 7k, have since replaced them with primacys on the which seem to do around 9-10k
quite scary in the snow!
the car is big and heavy so i'm not sure how good these are, my last car used to get around 15k on the front tyres from mich enegery, but it had half the power.
I can honestly say I was shocked how good these tyres are in the wet, just stick to the road like glue, also near the limit the rear tyres still stick extremely well to the road, i'm putting down the quick wear to the fact I do little motorway driving, probably about 20% of what I do is on the motorway, most of the roads here are very twisty and hilly

Good all round tyre. I bought a set of 4 tyre in november 2008 as 2nd hand with 6.5mm of tread. The front lasted some 15.000 mile and rear are still on after 30.000 mile. I found a good compromise for english seasons, quite cool in the summer and not so cold in the winter and I think they are a good choice if you can't afford to go for winter tyres for 2-3 months a year then change back for summer ones.
Proved to have very good grip on the road on very cold days, some grip on snow (although can't except winter tyre performance), good on both wet and dry tarmac. Noisier than summer tyres but quieter than winter ones.

CRAP, CRAP Rubbish tyres, only done a few thousand in my volvo s60 D5. Sounds like all the wheel bearings are knackered. What waste of money. I suggest stay clear of any tyres with directional tread.

Positive: great tyre on wet and dry road quite good in snow
Negative side - extremely noisy compared to other big brands and that's enough for me not to buy them again. On previous winters I've used Vredestein Wintrac, Dunlop Winter Sport, Good Years and Marangoni Meteo HP but NONE of these were as noisy as these pirellis.
My advice: If you think spending well over £100 for a tyre just avoid these pirrelis as you'll be disappointed unless the loud tyre noise won't bother you.

Awful, truly awful. I bought a pair of these off etyres under 'mid range-brands may vary', which i thought was a bit of a con in itself. I wouldnt have chosen the brand Sunny, but as the guy turned up with them I thought i'd let him get on and fit them.
First drive, incredible road noise. It sounded like my front wheel bearings had given up. The car felt wallowy and unstable during cornering, and during wet/ damp roundabouts etc must be taken with great care, even after about 500 miles wear. I would even go as far as to say dangerous. Had them balanced three times, but will not stay vibration free for more than a few days. I got so sick of the way the car was handling, i put the Pirelli P6000 from the rear with only 3mm of tread onto the front after about 2000 miles. Transformed the car instantly. You get what you pay for I suppose, which is a shame because they weren't even all that cheap. Avoid this chinese crap. I've learned my lesson, premium tyres are premium price for a reason.
