225/40 R17 Tires

When I fitted them for the first time, on one of my cars it felt like it's reborn. Amazing handling, grip and feedback. I was astonished. The only bad thing is that only after a year and a half and about 20k kms, I have torn the internal structure and they have become impossible to balance, started to give vibrations at random speeds and had to replace them. Surprise surprise. I have replaced them with exactly the same ones. It's only because I admit that my driving didn't help. I always attack the corners with the maximum possible speed. And don't have much regard for speedbumps. I could see that only the edges of the tires was looking worn and the rest looked still great. They looked like they were driven hard on a racetrack. So I'm sure it's my fault that they have disintegrated inside so quickly. Probably the hot weather here (Dubai) didn't help much too. I am not sure how they handle in the wet, but I don't really care, haha.
Overall astonishing tire. Will recommend 10/10.

I run my car in Vancouver, BC, CA. Typically winter involves a lot of rain, but snow will be a thing to deal with at least a few times a year. It is hilly (very much mountain adjacent), and when snow comes it tends to be very "greasy", and will not be cleared by the city. These tires are enough (when combined with a soft touch on the gas) to negotiate the snow we get here. They are even enough to give a strong sense of superiority to all the boobs who try to use summer tires, and lesser all seasons. They are EXCELLENT in the wet, which we really get much more of. Intellectually, I know I can get more in the summer out of a dedicated UHP, but in normal driving that is a point you won't likely reach on any regular basis.

Its an average budget tire. It has an expected and slightly below average level of wet grip and dry grip. It wears as expected for a budge tire too. I will go back to a hankook ventus s3 after this cost cutting and mildly disappointing experience.

Got those as stock on BMW 1 series. Summer tire performs worse than all season I have. Spinning on wet, dry. Handling - none, stopping - weak. Car is unstable even on reasonable acceleration on wet surface. Just some dust on a turn, and go sideways. On speed over 120 - car goes sideways. On turns on a highway car slips from trajectory. Catch some dust in a turn, even reasonable low speed, you lose control of the car as grip is gone. List goes on and on. Worst tire you can imagine. Even low fuel consumption doesn’t worth all the negative points. Plastic tires, no grip and as a result low fuel, but really doesn’t worth it whatsoever. Never ever buy it. I drove 6k kilometers on those, want to get rid of it. Don’t want even to resell it, because those tires are unsafe.

Went from Bridgestones to these, was literally day and night. Dry grip far superior, wet grip definitely noticeably better. Handling amazing and significantly less road noise. I decided on these based on the reviews and the fact that nexen are involved with the production of this brand. Have around 10,000kms on them so far and not half worn om the front, about half worn on the back (only the inside edge due to camber mostly). so wear seems good

I put a pair of these on the front of my wife's 2018 Audi A1 TDI after the Bridgestones were looking tired @17k miles. I was dubious about using mid range tires for the first time ever but the Continental ownership of General reassured me. The tires are rated B/C in respect of wet weather and rolling resistance.
Having now scrubbed in for a thousand miles the tires are very impressive, it's a nippy little car with bags of torque for such a low kerb weight but the front grips well in the wet and seems to pull up well under moderate braking. So far, so good, it's difficult to comment on the wear rate but @ £75 per they're looking good.

I ran these tires for one winter on a RWD 320bhp car.
They were a very bad choice for the car. Traction in both wet and dry needed feather light throttle inputs and I found the car unstable through corners.
I wouldn't recommend these tires.
That said, I previously used Ovation winter tires on a small van (with >90bhp) and they worked well in snowy conditions.

Had them on the rear of my GT86 and they were useless compared the Yokohamas that were on there. Yes they were slightly quieter but the grip was a lot less. I moved them straight to the front of the car. Now there is not as much grip up front but thats better than death trap at the back. Now I can just feel them understeering in the fast bends where the yokohamas just gripped. Will go back to the yokohamas next set and hope these wear out soon.... The shoulder of the tire is starting to show premature wear as i drive them hard. This did not happen on the previous Yoko's and these f1's were £15 more each!! I would not buy them again due to the reduced grip they give me.
