Cooper Zeon 2XS rated 74% while driving a Acura Integra Ls 1.8 Auto
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
really good on dry pavement handles very well on dry, wet pavement isnt the best its not terrible when its just sprinkling but when its anything over that they pretty much turn into slicks it feels like. it gets me from point a to point b and i dont drive my car in rain or snow so i would definitely buy them again.

Too noisy like wheel bearings gone bad. Poor steering response at corners.

Dunlop Econodrive rated 76% while driving a Renault Trafic
Driving on mostly country roads for 33000 average miles
After 33k miles chaneged the fronts about 3 mm left, on a trafic lwb 125bhp.
Excellent wear, they do tear a bit around the edges. Replaced with the same as they last sooo long, got a deal £210 a pair fitted. rears will be up for about 45k easily.

Nokian WR D4 rated 60% while driving a Opel Astra J Sports Tourer
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
This is my second review on these tires. Although it is most important how well do they handle snow (and they are not so bad on snow) the wear is terrible. Huge chunks are falling off after just two winters. Mileage I did was low. As long as they are turning you feel secure on snow, but as soon as you lock them (even when you actually completely stopped on a incline!), they slide out of control. Twice there was real drama as they couldn't cope with small incline.
Mine were made in Russia. Took them back to seller, hoping that warranty covers excessive rubber tear.

Dunlop SP Sport Fast Response rated 51% while driving a Nissan Juke
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 average miles
This tire can perform well in perfect conditions. Warm dry weather, on a smooth linear surface. Sadly this is not a reality on our roads. Skitty grip over bumps. Embarrassing wheel spin from nowhere and unpredictable wet weather grip. This tire is not designed for the street performance keep it on the track

Yokohama C Drive rated 83% while driving a Audi A3 1.8T sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 spirited miles
I am using these tires for the last 22000+ miles. Used them 75% in dry and 25% rain conditions an a very large variety of roads. Also used them in snow. I am very satisfied with it's overall performance and it's outstanding wear capabilities. They seem they have another 15000 miles to go easily. Excellent grip in dry roads. I generally drive in a sporty way. Can do 60 mph on a wet curvy road easily. Definately a Buy again tire.

Dunlop SP Sport Fast Response rated 74% while driving a Suzuki 2010 sx4 AWD cross over
Driving on mostly country roads for 18641 spirited miles
I live in the hill country I do 500miles every week from which 90% country driving. Most of the tires I had all made a squealing noise in the corners.. and there are a lot of corners here in the hills.. These tires I only heard them ones.. Not sure what that means. But I like it..

However!!! Not sure what I did wrong but the just vanished real quick.. I mean I did only 19K miles. and I have about 3/4mm left Before they become illegal to drive.. I paid $900 including fitting balancing and alignment.. Pretty heavy if I have to get new tires every 6 months Bummer..
Not sure if I buy them again, would have if I was a billionaire,.... unfortunately thats not the case.

Having said that i do the the occasional off road.. Nothing to serious just lose gravel.. That might have killed them? off?..
