I had these fitted to front of Mercedes C200 CDI - replacing Michelin Primacy HP. They have the MO mark.

The grip is outstanding from the first drive - the Michelin's were touring tires and although still at 3mm, it was noticeable the grip had diminished and would say Pirelli is better when both were new. Michelin on front did over 23,000 miles and were legal for another few thousand, so no complaints on their front tire life (rears only 16,000).

Pirelli also feels a little stiffer, grip brilliantly, stop quickly (Mich used to shudder a little as the abs would come on) and are quiet. From first few days suspect mpg may be a little lower (assume higher rolling resistance), but think the price, grip and braking outweighs this.

I was looking at Conti SC 5 ~(as current best on test), but found the Pirelli price had dropped to £100 a tire on a few websites (saving about £30 for the pair - TireGiant and Tiresavings), so good value at the moment.

I can't comment on Wear, as so new, but treadwear only 200, so may explain grip and mpg.

Highly recommended.

First month they weren't too bad, but after that they tracked to every line on the road, constantly fighting to make them go where I wanted too, had the car checked at least 5 times over 2 years, no issues with suspension or alignment, these tires were horrid, and got swapped out before their time because I was sick of them. They never gripped consistently in the dry, and weren't any difference in the wet. Stopping distance not as good as the Conti Sport 2's.
