This is an update from my November 2011 review of these tires.
Since then the car has been used daily for both commuting and leisure and the mileage is now around 14,000 on them so I can give an even more informed opinion.
My partner drove the car fitted with these tires all through the winter snow, ice and rain and only reported one minor slide and that was down to her being overly optimistic when entering a snow corner covered slightly too fast and you can't blame the tires for that.
Other than having to replace one tire through hitting a deep pothole which caused the sidewall to blister, the tires have behaved as good as any tire I've had fitted to any of my cars over the years.
The mileage wear is remarkable and handling is good in all conditions even when pushed on the GT, so much so that I have fitted a pair to the rear of my C2 VTR driving school car and I'm about to replace the front tires with the Deltas to complete the set.
There's a lot of rubbish talked about tires, mostly by drivers who are clueless when it comes to handling a car properly - these tires are both excellent value for money and give a level of handling that can compete with many mid to premium brand tires and should never let anyone down if the car is driven remotely sensibly.
Would I buy Deltas again?... based on my experience, you bet I would!
