I have been through two sets of these. The first time they lasted 18,000 miles of urban driving and the next time 12,000 with extra urban driving. I found them to be a comfortable tire that lower road noise. They were not too bad in the dry but useless in the wet. Suseptible to aqua planing easily. I agree with other comments here that the faster you go the less grip they offer. They were fine on two cars under 75 bhp but would not use otherwise. Discovered the Uniroyal Rainsport2 there after which surprise surprise had even lower road noise, exceptional road grip and reduced aqua planing. This is an over priced luxury attempt for a summer tire. The run flat version would be the best if you want a run flat tire but you can do better for under the price these are sold at.
