I've just finished my third season (April - November) with these tires. The tires perform very well in the dry and I've had no issues with braking. In the wet they instill confidence, but when conditions are atrocious on the motorway, then I feel less comfortable with their grip. Having said that, I've never had a moment with them with the 25,000+ miles (40,000+ km) that I've driven with them and the braking distances are consistent with the wet driving conditions experienced. They are a little noisy (and this was expected) but it's not too bad, even with the music switched off. For me the biggest surprise is the wear. They are still showing 6mm after three season's driving. I'm astounded by that and know I'll probably get a few more seasons out of them before having to change them. When I do change them, I'm going for the Sava UHP 2 tires, just because they seem to have slightly better reviews. For the money and the excellent wear ratio, I can highly recommend these tires. Sava may be in the economy category of tires, but I think they are far better than they are categorised. So much so, that I went for Sava Eskimo HP 2 winter tires this year. Buy (and drive) with confidence.
