Nankang N 729 rated 59% while driving a Nissan Pulsar
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 easy going miles
The tire is a budget tire, so you can't expect high end performance. That said, there are budget tires that will outperform these. In dry they are not much different to other tires, but in the WET is a different story. Brand new and if your corner was a bit sharp, the car would slide slightly at speeds around 40-50 km/h. Sometimes heavier braking would have my ABS kicking in. As they AGE by a couple years or the tread starts wearing, it gets worse, especially on roads where the asphalt is glass smooth or if you have the unfortunate areas that have diesel spilling.

For many who may not be as adept to driving as say, enthusiasts to safely react to the situation, this could be a real problem.

For this reason I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, nor the XR611 which is not even as good as the N729.

Bridgestone Supercat rated 54% while driving a BMW 325
Driving on mostly town for 10 easy going miles
I agree with other comments regarding these tires Dry road I would say is OK good almost; Wet road absolutely wild Almost zero grip
I have two pirellis on front two Supercat on the back
Round-abouts are worst On wet roads the back just slips and slides
Have had Michelin tires previously which were bad enough on wet/damp roads But these worse Then again they are half the price So, You get what you pay for
I’m a very sedate passive mature driver I don’t take risks on the road

Landsail DH2 rated 47% while driving a Honda CIVIC 1.6 VTEC
Driving on mostly town for 14000 miles
At 4 years old started cracking on the tread edges and now 5years severe cracking on the tread itself.
Now scrap. Ok at first but simply don't last.

Dunlop SP Sport LM704 rated 67% while driving a Toyota Cressida
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
These have pretty great grip when dry. Can hear the tires squealing when pushed around curves hard, yet they still have traction. Wet grip is rather poor though, take it easy around corners when raining, especially hairpins. Makes for good drifting practice if you're bored however. At least you can feel when they start to lose grip and it's pretty easy to back off on the throttle as such. It seems dependent on the road surface however; I've taken some bends at speed in the wet no problem, while others that seem gentler I still feel the rear sliding out, this tends to happen more if the road surface looks especially smooth/shiny. I've been driving them hard for about 12,000 miles and they still seem to have a fair bit of tread so the wear seems to be ok. I'm not too sure whether I'd buy them again however. I've been looking for performance tires for a while now and while these are great, the wet performance does leave something to be desired.

Vredestein Hi Trac rated 57% while driving a Daewoo Leganza
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 spirited miles
These tires came on my Leganza and only because of the age I need to replace them after 10 years. Plenty of thread left. Never skidded in the wet or dry and I consider them as really safe tires. However regarding handling/feedback it's a different story. As long as the road surface is smooth it's a comfortable tire. Noise level on the high side though. Fuel consumption lower than average. When the road is old with 'tracks' from heavy vehicles it's very unpleasant. Also very sensitive for the right tire pressure. Maybe the newer version is improved but I am not a fan of Vredestein.

Pace PC20 rated 61% while driving a Skoda Unknown

There a fine tire for the price. 10k miles in and they're showing normal signs of wear. Not a bad buy on a budget.

Dunlop Direzza DZ102 rated 83% while driving a Citroën C Elysee
Driving on mostly town for 8000 spirited miles
This is a Citroen C-ELYSÉE - 2020./ Less than 18,000km (Live in Lima, PERU). Replace OEM tires, because are not satisfied. Old where Bridgestone Ecopia EP25. New tires Dunlop Direzza DZ102 205/60-R15, now with 10,000km on it . What a difference. First, lower noise. A lot lower noise. Precise handling, impressive braking. (Dry pavement). Even in low-mid rain have a precise braking response. Firm suspension. Will buy again.
