These tires(new) were on the car when i bought it 18 months ago.The compound of them is rock hard,still have loads of there tread left after 15k.The trade off for this is that they're only ok in the dry but in the wet they want to let go very easily,have had a couple of scary experiences and wasn't even pushing them.Will be changing to a safer and softer compound tire soon.

Had these tires on my 200sx and that didn't really notice the noise - maybe due to the exhaust and what not, but I must say they weren't that bad... But since I put these tires onto my v35, wow are they noisy. Lots of whurring noise above 30kmph and when braking to come to a stop, there is a huge droning noise.
Not sure, but maybe these tires don't like being put onto heavier cars?
In terms of performance, grip and handling was great in the 200sx, but feels a little unresponsive and light in the v35.

bought these tires as funds were a bit low, would not buy them again. Dry grip was ok can't complain but grip in the wet was scary very unsafe, no confidence in them at all. I have changed them to dunlop sp sport maxx will let you know what they are like but so far can't complain will let you know when I driven them a bit more

Budget Tire. Very Poor Grip and Braking in Both Wet and Dry Conditions. Definitely would never recommend.

Disgusting tires should be banned from sale.
They ride rock hard.
They have NO grip in the wet even with a 1600 automatic they slip and spin at the touch of the throttle.
I now drive a turbo skyline and id be scared to even rev that car with them.
Luckily ive got UHP tires on the skyline and have upgraded to Eagle F1 GSD3 for the integra.
Yuck!

Had these come with my Fiesta on the fronts when I bought the car and they were brand new tires. 6 Month's later I noticed when I had to do a 30mph emergency stop that they skidded all over the place and smoked, they are very noise tires in general too. During the winter just gone they were absolutely terrible, 4 out of 5 times they used to skid whenever setting off from stop when it was wet. I sold the Fiesta a month ago and sold the car with them tires, with only 3mm of tread on them. I had only had the car for 14 month's and they had weared that far down in 10,000 miles! Will stay well clear from these tires from now often, the tire tread design may look professional and appealing but do not be fooled by these budget tires! If you want a good budget tire for 95-02 Fiesta's then I would recommend Mohawk's, they are brilliant!

Very poor grip levels and I am sliding around everywhere. Not something an MZ3 needs help with. The crazy camber on the z normally means it eats the inside of the rear tires, but even with a concerted effort to wear them out so I have a proper excuse to get rid of them, they are not wearing at all. Probably why they have so little grip.
Very progressive breakaway though.
I found out recently that these are marketed here as drift tires, which explains a lot.

Okay, Just had these fitted to my Mazda RX8 230 which previously had Bridgestones. Can't comment on the wear just yet but road noise is sooo much better than the Bridgestones and they seem to grip just as well in the wet and dry! They also look great! Very impressed and would buy again.

I Bought these tires after a recomendation form a Subaru owner. I have to say these are by far the best 'budget' performance tires I have ever used. Griped a lot better in the dry than the expensive pirelli tires that were on there before (mondeo ST) steering was greatly improved, I think they must have a fairly stiff sidewall because steering just felt so much more direct.
I didn't notice any difference in noise and wet grip was right up there. I have since fitted these tires on all my cars.
