Nice when new and middle aged. Good feel but quite noise-affected by road surface - but that applies to many makes.
As they got older (but not worn out) they lost their feel.
I just have 2 little moans; 1. Worn out after 10K of easy/mixed driving. 2. Rubber perishing/cracking in tread, I've never seen that before.
On the whole pretty good until they got old.

These tires were the OEM originals that came with the ST170. I found dry weather grip to be very good although not as good as later tires such as Pilot Sport's. Wet weather performance seemed fine when I first got the car but dipped substantially when tread depth reached about 4mm. At this point understeer was often sharp and extreme compared to earlier performance. On the road the tires were very quiet and comfortable. Wear was excellent, cant complain about 30000 miles of pretty hard driving.

Reviewing has got to be subjective - particularly wet conditions surely the driver is a much bigger factor than tire (see British GP 2008!) and unless we compare the same vehicle, judgement must be limited. That said, I have had this car for about 22,000 miles on same tire with front tires lasting about 11,000 (fwd 2.5 V6). The wet performance is very good (I don't remember a single scary moment, very aquaplane resistant on motorway and A road). Excellent grip and feel in the dry, but then for an estate, it really handles (car bigger factor than tire?). Reviews so far are not convincing me to bite the bullet and try another brand for ?150 a corner, although I know this would make my review more useful!

Good in the dry, not so good in the wet (especially when low-ish). More exciting tires out there.
Good durabilty though.
