Fitted by car supermarket to the front wheels prior to me buying the car.

These are not great tires. They are about £35 fitted and you can see why.

They actually did okay over the warm, dry summer. Car not pushed that hard but struggled when accelerating hard from a standing start. Traction control kicked in, in the dry... Not great.

Thought they would be okay and will swop out when part worn. Then it rained. A lot. OMG - they have at least 6mm of grip and I thought I'd aquaplane. Hit any standing water, even at 60mph and you don't feel safe. Cornering and acceleration require gentle handling or you'll spin out. Feels like a higher quality tire when it's at 2mm and starts to feel a little slippy. Shouldn't be like that when 6m old.

Mine are an XL tire and the feedback is a bit stiff. They'll do a job if you want to potter around but I really don't think they belong on a FWD 184bhp TDI. I don't even drive it that hard.

My previous car had Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance on them and they may cost more, but I can't drive this winter with such rubbish tires. I have no faith in them at all.

No No No had fitted to my Saab 9-3 vector sport and they worned down by 10000 miles and it’s not like my tires pressures were low as I’d check em very week and the lowest they got was 34 psi and not the mention the support these tires give when handling and braking are very sh*t and offer no real support in dangerous conditions. Id get better grip out my gran’s false teeth so I would highly recommend not getting these tires

Lets be honest I sell tires and I see a lot of worn tires and tires at the end of their life,this brand is one we have tried and tested on our own car as if im selling to my customers I like to make sure that MY CUSTOMERS WILL COME BACK FOR ANOTHER SET, OK first all tires will crack over time even premium so that's going to happen if you don't wear them out but they tend to last longer than most budget tires,the life of these tires is above average I had one customer high milage user doing 24000 miles on a set and changed them with about 2 mm across the tire,we managed 18000 miles on the front of our test car,hey if they are priced right then I don't think you would be disappointed using this brand,also three a and aoteli these are from the same family just using a different name

i Have purchased and fitting this tire for 111GBP in abu dhabi, just two days before. earlier i was having bridgestone turanza.
with Rapid p609, my first observation is it's not comfortable at all. vibration from tires might destroy the vehicle because it just transfer road profile to vehicle. smooth road, smototh ride, bumpy road bumpy ride.

Excellent tires, very comfortable fitted to my Vauxhall 1.8 16v. Estate. Set of four from new - hardly any wear and road noise ! Excellent grip. They are now 3rd year on my car and the wear is consistent and they look exactly the same as on the day of purchase- still new ! It doesn't matter if you driving trough the snow or in a hot summer days, tires are doing great job and giving excellent performance because they are made of rubber and silica compound !!! Simply perfect tire without any doubt !
I personally would recommend these excellent tires

Bought my car from 2nd hand dealership who had clearly bought these on the cheap to sell the car. It was when I put these under pressure that I felt uneasy. Massive understeer and barely dealt with loads exerted.

Yes, they might do you as a stop-gap solution should funds be tight. For me, they are coming off and would suggest your life is surely worth more than £100 for 4 tires (approx).

These tires were fitted by a main dealer to my 2012 MX-5 2.0 sport tech.
The tire is without doubt the worst tire i have ever had.
Very noisy and lacking grip ( winter months) the tires offered no confidence.
Braking was always scary and braking distances doubled.
Feedback is awful, wet handling is abysmal and the tires tramline on every road ive ever driven on.
Ive never seen the traction control light flash up before these were put on
Enough to say that after 400 hair raising miles they were replaced
The only comparison that the P609 has with other tires is that they are black and round. SAVE YOUR MONEY & possibly your life

Excellent tires, fitted to my BMW 5 series to the front axle - hardly any wear and road noise. Excellent grip. Previously had 4 on a performance car, the wear was consistent and never felt as though the tire would let go of the road.
Would recommend these, they are hard to find now.

New car came with 3 brand new P609s and 1 old Arrowspeed N1000 (drivers rear). Over the summer months the grip felt pretty good and never understeared even when provoking it. Down to 2mm already on the front after maybe 2000 miles of back roads and 7000 miles of motorways and towns. In winter conditions (below 8 degrees C) I struggle to pull away from junctions without loosing a wheel or two, even driving as gently as I can. 120hp is apparently enough to spin up in a straight line in 2nd with no clutch kick and not that many revs. Over the summer the tires were pretty good, but a new car made a huge difference (battered Peugeot to well kept Saab).
Average 32mpg day to day and 40mpg on distance cruises, but that is about what saab quote for my car, so not too bad.
Braking is average at best, and if ABS fails to stop locking for a second the stopping force in a skid is pathetic. Car doesn't feel settled on back roads when it's cold, but feels fine when it's warm.

This is a very average tire grip wise but the down side is they wear out really quickly, rear tires lasted 4000 miles 2 Lt Auto no wheel spin . The front still had tread but the side walls had dried out and started to crack so had to change as well. Budget tires are a gamble always check reviews. Estimated true value of these tires ---£35.00---- +fitting
