Given 47% while driving a Volkswagen Passat (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 15,000 easy going miles
One of the worst tires I have ever had.
Bought them brand new, with a fresh DOT.
Everyday road was 70% highway (100 km/h) and the rest 30% was city traffic.
Front wheel drive car (VW Passat B5), after 18000km front tires had 2mm wear left on them.

I will never buy them again.

Given 77% while driving a Rover 75 (225/45 R18 W) on mostly motorways for 3,000 spirited miles
For a fraction of the price of the big names, this is right up there with the best. Wet grip and dry grip leave nothing to be desired. i had my doubts when buying, but I have been very pleasantly surprised. The compound is certainly not hard, so much so that even a late snowfall was dismissed almost entirely, and wet grip inspires confidence when you need it most.
I find there are just two downsides to this tire:
1) A lack of sidwall protection for the rim - even car wash guide rails can wreck a three-week old wheel - Thanks Morrisons! (and I am NOT impressed that you refused compensation.)
2) The tire runs quiet by generating very little noise itself, BUT if the road surface is rough you hear every ripple and pebble. Fine on a road-racer, but not welcome on an executive express.

Following on from my earlier post, these tires have now done about 18,000 miles, and I am afraid it shows. The fronts are worn more than the rears, but still nowhere near the legal limit. However, grip on damp surfaces has dropped dramatically, leading to speculation that they may be constructed with a firm base compound, overlaid with a softer and grippier outer skin. When that is gone the grip drops off.
In the battle to get lasting wet grip (in particular) while being at the right price, I will have to look elsewhere. Kumho KU39 maybe?
