Okay - so I fitted these to a 185bhp/165ftlb modified Fiesta ST on Bilstein suspension/H&R springs - it also has a Quaife ATB differential. This car on summer tires is normally glued to the road. After some scary experiences in the snow last winter I decided to get a set of these Sunny's (from mytires) on for this winter.

Well, so predictibly we had no snow! On cold, dry mornings the tires seem to grip fine. I certainly have no desire to drive like a hooligan in the cold weather but I'd say the grip was Adequate/Good. But, there's no real feedback from them and they feel 'squashy' I guess the sidewalls are quite soft.

In the rain (ie. proper falling drops) again the tires were Fair - perhaps on a par with the Toyo T1Rs in the rain. That 'squashy' feel doesn't inspire you with any confidence to push on anyway which probably keeps on from finding what the limit is in the wet.

Where these tires really fall down, and in a scary dangerous way, is on the sort of surface we've had for about 75% of the winter. Damp (but not raining), greasy roads. These tires will wheelspin with only the very lightest of throttle input, which you can get used to but it slows progress. More disturbingly I've had 2nd gear/10-15mph corners on trailing throttle severe understeer. This with no warning or feedback, mid corner the front just breaks and you're sliding. For this reason I would NEVER RECOMMEND this tire to anyone - an unexperienced driver would find these tires sending them into the path of oncoming cars and into ditches.

I can't comment on the snow capabilities of these tires as I didn't get any - typical - they might be great for that. But, for damp and greasy roads these tires are treacherous.

Have run these for nearly 2k miles since November. Wet roads - useless. Turning or accelerating on a roundabout/leaving a junction - scary. I dont have Traction control, but a 1.8 Vectra should not wheelespin in 3rd at 30-40 mph!Truly awful, and only passable in the light snow we have had. Lateral control is the worst. Might be ok for some cars but if you have a 1.8SRI Vectra - avoid - ruins the car, and only for those with a deathwish.

Fitted at the start of the mildest winter in recent years these tires have had a grand total of 2 days of snowy driving. They were spot on in the snow, very predictable and confidence inspiring in slippy conditions. They've done around 3,700 miles commuting between city streets and rural driving and have proved faultless. More comfortable than the Kumho's they replace and more predictable in the rain I can't fault them. Not sure about wear yet, I'd be surprised if I get more than 15,000 miles from them. For £60 each from mytires.com I can't complain.
