Sporty and very grippy but uncomfortably hard/very harsh on rough & bumpy roads but otherwise smooth. (Honda Civic 1.8 with 16" alloy wheels)
38,700 miles on the front and the rears are still ok (40K+?) - quite reasonable by British standards (BUT to put it in context, I bought Yokohama tires for a Honda Accord in the USA that were guaranteed for 70K+ miles and which still looked like new after 50K - they were great in every way: quiet, sticky, good in dry, wet & snow, smooth - and cheap).
