Given 66% while driving a Honda (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 37,500 average miles
These were fitted to my Honda Jazz 1.4 Sport when the car was brand new. The level of wear is excellent, reaching 35,000 miles on the front and 37500 on the rears hitting the 3mm mark. If it wasn't for my preference to change tires at 3mm I think these would last up to 40,000miles. The grip in the dry is excellent and provides good feedback.

However the Potenzas generate a lot of road noise and the wet grip is limited with little feel through the steering and some understeer.

Given 51% while driving a Lexus IS 220D (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Hard wearing, but also noisy on the road, making every ripple audible. Very grippy in the dry. Looking for better wet grip, and less road noise.

Given 64% while driving a Suzuki Swift 1.5 (185/60 R15 R) on mostly town for 30,000 easy going miles
Those are original, lasted 4 years and could be used longer but I did not like the way they made the car drive. they where hard, made the steering very hard job without improving the feeling which made long distance very tiring. Good road holding duo.

Given 87% while driving a Lexus IS 220D (205/55 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 19,800 spirited miles
Actually a review for the factory fitted RE030 that came on my Lexus IS220d-SE from new. Just changed all 4 after 19,800 spirited miles. Fronts had about 1.5mm above wear bar, rears actually had about 4mm left (OK to sell as part-worn!) Fronts exhibited some outer edge 'tearing' and shoulder rounding. Rears have probably been saved by the traction control? Lexus state 3 pressure ranges for tires and I've used the lowest generally (the dealer recommends the middle or higher to save wear), to give good wet weather grip and smooth ride on some appalling local roads. Overall very pleased. Replaced with Toyo Proxes T1-R and will report separately. Changed all 4 otherwise I'd end up replacing the rears even closer to handing my lease car back when changed next March. Thought I'd get my money's worth!
