Given 90% 265/30 R20 on a combination of roads for 1,500 average miles
Excellent tires for wet roads - no slipping when accelerating / overtaking / cornering, or when hitting unseen standing water, or more generally, bouncing around on poorly-surfaced potholed roads - so well-suited to driving in England this Summer... Also grip well in the dry, and they're quiet at lower speeds - very important for a convertible which came with large, wide alloys and rubber-band tires. Am also achieving more miles per gallon - never seen 33 mpg previously (30 was the best) - so as nothing else has changed, the new tires' construction/composition must be responsible. Plus, they...

Own this MX5 mk4 from new. Serviced every year. Mileage at first MOT 12500. Tread 60%, tire wall inside all 4 tires cracking. Passed MOT but told safe to drive but keep a check on tires. Car is used every day short trips around town. Also a few touring trips. Never had all 4 tires have cracking on side wall before in any car.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
