I'm a driver for a living so covering 60000 miles a year, hopefully my reviews will help you guys in the future. I have used 4 sets of fronts tires over the last year so my experiences are fresh. My type choices are based on finding a type that has a good life expectancy, good wet weather handling and hopefully a quiet design.
I bought these tires based on professional reviews, and the excellent price offer by my local tire centre. They perform well in all weather conditions, absolutely no problems in the wet, fine in the dry. These tires are quiet and my car seemed a bit better on fuel, so I'm thinking the rolling resistance is fairly good.
The only negative I can say about the tires is the life expectancy didn't meet my expectations.
All in all a good all round tire which I could confidently recommend.

So far so good.
Replaced the P6000's on the rear and have found the car to be quiet, grippy and the rear end much more sure footed.
I drive a mix of country B roads and single lane A roads with odd motorway journey.
Fitted in Jan where it's been wet and cold.
I drive quite hard and have not lost the rear and scared my passengers on the bends but I don't break speed limits-just don't slow down for a bend! I find other cars tailgating me can't keep up on the bendy roads, just the straights as they speed on budget tires. So it gives you an idea that these tires are pretty good.
I drive sensibly in the wet and these have been pretty good too.
I drive 105 miles a day and needed a good grippy tire that was also good in the wet for hard driving that didn't wear out after 10k miles or break the bank.
I'm not sure I would use these on the front as I prefer Grippy directional tires, but if these last up to 20k then it could be an option on a front wheel drive.
Some say go to the Potenza-yes its grippy but soft and wear -unless you are well off-then again you wouldn't be reading reviews and just buy the best tire out there.

Good tires when brand new though went off quite quickly and will need replacing with well under 20k miles covered. I keep an eye on the pressures and don't drive hard, though it is a Mondeo TDCi (heavy, torquey engine) so this may have contributed to the wear. Disappointing, I expected better mileage from a premium brand.

Great, absolutely great feedback, easiness and performance. They are "easy" in terms of effortless exact handling and road feel so they deliver easy feel of sporty way of driving. Dry tarmac - superb, wet - mere very good

Hard to compare against any other makes as this is all i've used on the car, but they seem fine to me, this site does need another review category for "ice and snow" which is probably the only conditions where they don't grip very well, they are summer tires though.

These replaced the standard fit-from-new Yokohamas on my 'C' class Merc. (std. suspension) and I'm very disappointed in them. Despite seeing write-ups saying they are a quiet tire they are in fact very noisy. Even at 30pmh you can hear more tire roar and the ride is worse and the whole car seems more nervous and twitchy than on the Yokohamas. I do hope they do wear down quickly so i can replace them as soon as possible!

Getting noisier and more annoying while wearing,quite good at dry but terrifying at wet,the only good thing about these tires is that they are long lasting...
