I picked up my new (Secondhand) Skoda Superb (10 reg) about 6 weeks ago and these tires were already on the car so had no choice but have them, but at that point I didn't know I wouldn't want them on the car.
They have progressively got noisier and noisier to the point you would think that the wheel bearings needed changing, specially whilst breaking through 30mph down to 10mph. There is a minor whiny growling road noise at all times but is worse at certain speeds but definitely when breaking.
Grip in the dry is ok under normal load and just about ok if you wanted to push it a bit round the country lanes, but anything more and they just don't seem stable. In the wet they will let you down badly. Even going round a roundabout at a reasonable speed in the wet will see you slip and slide should you happen to edge over a white painted line, certainly wouldn't trust them round the country lanes in the wet as they will more than likely put you in a ditch should you go a tad to quick.
Think these are the worst tires I've ever owned, most definitely the noisiest. Now changed the front two to Michelin Pilot S3's and I'm driving in peace and safety once more.
