These tires are really good, I enjoy every driven km with it.
I will buy them again, the sidewalls are really soft, so you should be very careful with parking.

I bought them at May i had them for six months i like them a lot at dry its like i drive train (really nice grip going fast at corners on country roads :D)
In wet condition is really good like reviews say but do not over do it with a lot of water ahead something like a lake , hehehehee ....

Conclusion now i will buy them again when i get 10000 kilometer i will post again an when i will go to change them !
And remember guys take the right speed rating !

I bought this tire 1 year ago. Great in all aspects in the beginning but after just 1 summer season in UK totally worn. I just got 10000 miles, so it should be still in perfect condition. I will never buy it again.

Given 89% while driving a Subaru Impreza GX AWD (185/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 7,200 average miles
Rated almost everything 9, because in my world there is no perfect things.

Lowest rating is wear at 8. Driving Subaru Impreza GX 2.0L, and since i put these tires on in May 7thm and now is September 9th, already drove 11500km (approximately 7145 miles)... it has only some wear on outside front tires, and rear tires almost like new. Maybe those people who complain about wear goes by inflation what car makers suggest on the side of the door, and in my experience, people should inflate more that car makers suggest.
For example, mine suggest under full load 2.2 bar front and 2.0 bar back. I always inflated front 2.4-2.7 and rear 2.2-2.5. No that its not over inflating, because i would have middle thread of tire worn, but its not the case. I think i will put at least another 5000km until winter tires change, i honestly think it will last me at LEAST 2 seasons (~33000km/20500miles), but pretty sure 3 seasons. To add about wear, i drive on unpaved aka hardly pressed dirt road with small stones every day for about 8-10km, that adds to the wear, which still as i mentioned, is small in my case.

Everything else is really good, i live in hilly area with a lot of sharp corners, and these tires handle them nice in dry and wet. On corners during dry, that most tires would start lose grip and start to squeek at ~60-70 kmh in my area, i can go 80+ without a squeek. Similar performance i used to get on vredistrian sportrac 5.
On highway during big rain i can easily go 110-120kmh (68-75 mph).

By the way the most impressive thing on these tires, is rolling resistance, its realllllyy good. Going down the hill without pressing gas pedal, i always have to press break pedal, because i catch other cars, who seem to actually use gas pedal abit.

These are pretty good tires and would suggest to everyone.

Given 90% while driving a Lexus LS400 (215/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
I use these as the front Tire on my 1998 Lexus LS400, they're a tad narrower than standard (215 vs 225) so steering is lighter and turn in better but grip hasn't been diminished and they're great in the wet too, better than Continental Premium Contact 2's anyway. Wear isn't as good as the Continentals or the Goodyear Eagle F1's I have on the back but I'll trade a certain amount of wear for grip any day, after all tires are what keep you on the road.

Front BluResponse = 215/60/R16 99V
Rear Eagle F1 = 225/55/R16 99W

Given 66% while driving a Peugeot 406 HDi (195/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 17,000 average miles
When I first put these on front of the car I was really pleased. Handled well, stopped well in wet and dry, quite. Great, but then I don't push the car and do a fair amount of motorway driving. 17,000miles later and the tires are down to 2-3mm and performance has tailed off in last 1,500 miles. Very disappointed with the rate of wear.

Fantastic tire, does everything you need it too. Quiet, comfortable, plenty of grip, hardly any wear after 10000 miles, ok maybe 1-2mm and that with a very powerful engine. Very Happy

Does exactly what you want an economical tire to do. Save fuel, quite, comfortable but don't expect it to be a sporty. Makes driving a joy for me!

Given 66% while driving a Opel astra h 1.6 (205/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 1,500 spirited miles
I already wrote a review for these tires (11/21/2014) after first summer and 8000 miles with these tires. My impressions were then excellent. Now a month and a half after I'm again with summer tires this year and the new 1500 miles my opinion has changed:
During winter, the tires were stored properly in the basement of my house, the temperature inside always is above 10 degr.C.
When installed tires again, I was unpleasantly surprised. The tires were lost 50-60% of their dry and wet braking grip and 20-30% of dry grip when cornering. Especially on rear wheels(which were in front side of the car, first summer and have visibly weared compared with another pair - more than 1mm). Wet cornering grip is still excellent. And the tires are still extremely quiet.
The biggest surprise was fuel consumption of the car - it was decreased with 1 l/100km immediately after exchange of winter tires. Without to change my driving style.
Finally I want to say that the main disadvantage of the tires is that rubber compound getting older quite fast for this price class. With this temps of wearing and with my aggressive style of driving it will be hard to drive these tires another full hot season. In this case is much more better if I buy tires from lower price class and to change them each season. Even cheaper tires are quite good in first season. This is from a financial perspective!
But if I put from opposite side excellent performance and comfort from last summer - it worth all money which I spend for these tires. It st not possible to buy cheaper tires with such a performance.

Given 70% while driving a Renault (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 7,000 average miles
Poor grip on dry condition. Cornering at high speeds is worse than on my previous tires (Michelin Energy Saver). Also for breaking. I have a insecurity feeling when I'm driving aggressively. Surprisingly, on wet surface they are much better than Michelin Energy Saver. Unfortunately, most of the time I'm driving on dry conditions. As a PRO they are very quiet. Also mileage is good (I would say about the same as Michelin Energy Saver). I'm a little disappointed on these tires. For sure, I won't buy them again.

Given 91% while driving a Vauxhall Zafira 2.0 dti (195/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 8,000 average miles
Bought these today from micheldever tires, instantly noticed the difference with grip and sound. The tires take corners well and seem to grip on to the road nicely when dry, the quietness of the tire is really noticeable.

The only thing I can't comment on it the tire wear and wet grip, but as long as you don't abuse your tires then you should be fine and these look as though they are the real deal.

I previously has Michelin Energy savers and I found these wore down quickly, within a year they were down to 3mm and that's on about 7-8000 miles in the year. I wasn't impressed with those.

My personal choice was either these or the Kumho Ecowing tires & Dunlop were the only ones in stock.

Good choice tire and I am very happy that they have turned out well.
