Given 57% while driving a SEAT EXEO ST TDI 170CR (225/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 7,000 average miles
Had a pair fitted to the front of my Exeo. Always gone for cheap tires as I mainly trundle up and down the motorway, but these cannot be recommended. Initially thought they were fine, but less than 6 months later, loads and loads of tread left and the side walls have given up. Been to have balancing checked today and told both tires need replacing due to side walls on inside. Tires are at recommended pressure, but tire company blaming low pressure! Never had this issue before, and tire company not interested. Won't be using this tire company again, and will never touch AAA tires on any vehicle! Waste of cash.

Given 39% while driving a Mercedes Benz C350 V6 Estate (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
These were fitted to the rear when I bought the car, as they were fairly new I decided to leave them on and use them up before fitting premuim rubber.....

They're noisy, terrifying in the wet and have started cracking along the outside edge after 10k miles and 1 year on the car. If you have a small low powered car, they will be ok for pottering around town I guess....

They could not handle standing start launches in the dry and would make the car squirm around but in the wet? Forget it! Even driving sedatley I would find the back end stepping out on wet roundabouts. I've got x4 Goodyear Asy 5 tires waiting to be fitted at the weekend, I honestly can't wait.

Given 61% while driving a Ford Mondeo MK4 2.0L TCDI (140) Zetec Estate (225/40 R18) on for 4,000 miles
I got a set of 4 of these tires to go on my summer alloys, 4 thousand miles in 2 needed to be replaced due to faults on the side walls, both had huge blebs in the side walls upon removing the tires you could see the inner tire wall looked like it was coming away from the tire.
I would never use these tires again.

Given 40% while driving a Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Terrible!

Have always gone for Goodyear Eagles previously, but bought a new set of alloys that came with a fresh set of P606's mounted... Turns out they're horrible to drive on.

Understeer, extended braking distances, poor road-feedback, road positioning feels ambiguous and skittish...

They'll be going in the bin shortly!

Jaguar (225/45 R17 W) on for 16,500 average miles
Had two of these AAA P606 tires on the front of my X Type Jaguar for 16500 miles driving mainly on what must be some of the worst country roads in the UK in West and North Yorkshire. They now have about 3mm left on them, but I have just changed them for exactly the same again just to be prepared for winter.
Handling is very good, braking is very good either on motorways or the usual back roads. They are not the longest wearing tires in the world, you would get over 20000 miles from them until they reach the limit. But are very inexpensive and I believe equally as good as more expensive brands.

Given 80% while driving a BMW 325d M Sport (255/35 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 8,000 spirited miles
Fitted to my 325d which is remapped to 270bhp. Massive amount of grip in the grip and wet. No problem trusting them when driving fast. Also they where a lot quieter than the run flats I removed. Would definitely buy again.

Given 67% while driving a Mazda Mx5 2008 (205/50 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
I bought these as a comfort/winter runaround tires for my MX5. I have been surprised by the grip in both wet and dry, comparable to good quality Falkens for example. Turn in is definitely softer than sports tires but this is to be expected. These tires do have very soft sidewalls so wouldn't take well to abuse such as kerbing and might be more subject to damage from sharp edged potholes, they do however give a very comfortable ride without noticeable tire noise. All in all a good alternative at the low price and much more capable than other "cheap" Chinese tires.

These came on a car I've just bought. The tire sidewalls have 'M&S' on them but the only P606 model I can find are being sold as summer tires. Anyone else have P606 on them with 'M&S' markings on the sidewalls?
