I think these seem good but wear out far too quickly only had them on 2 years and done about 8000 miles and they are down to 2mm and I don't drive fast or hard.

I am fairly steady eddy and never drive to the limit rarely need to break sharply but want a tire that can be relied on.
I bought these as they had A rating in all categories.
I will never bother with noise rating again as the road surface makes much more difference, fuel economy jury is out.
My biggest gripe is wear totally shocking wore out far to quickly and the grip went down hill rapidly with the wear no grip when I changed them with over 2 mm left and they were feathering badly and the tracking is perfect.
Never again for me.

SEAT Ibiza

Excellent grip in the dry and wet but a bit abrupt when traction is lost and also in braking, to a lesser degree. High aquaplaning limits. Excellent steering feel and precision, for the class. Outstanding fuel economy. Average comfort and quietness for the class. Wear too early to tell. They seem to have a wide operating window, temperature-wise.
I would recommend these to anyone who wants a compromise between sporting and touring characteristics in a car without too much power.

Ford MONDEO

These tires wear like you wouldn't believe, 12000 - 15000 miles and they are gone!! Now that's the downside out of the way.
The upsides are massive, they are grippier on ice and snow than Bridgestone Blizzak, on dry / wet normal roads you will be amazed at the feeling of safety these tryes give you.
I for one will forgo the stupid wear rate for the knowledge that my kids are safe under any condition by replacing these whenever they wear out.

I bought these when they were new to the market as a replacement for the Dunlop Fast Response which I had fitted to the front of a VW Passat. The Fast Response tires were excellent and did 44k miles - I drive like a nun!! The Bluresponse were fitted to the rear and the car has just failed it's MOT on tire wear after 15k miles - I still drive like a nun!! Very poor value from Dunlop on this occasion

Opel astra h 1.6
(205/55 R16 V)

The quietest tires I've ever driven! Excellent grip on dry and wet. Excellent dry breaking and cornering. Excellent aquaplaning in straight and when cornering. Even in 2-3 cm water at heavy rain on highway - absolutely stability even at 100 mph! I haven't enough courage for more speed. When go true areas with deep water 5 - 10 cm, only with right or left wheels very low reaction in steering wheel. With original tires of the car - Bridgestone Turranza 300ER it have to break my hands - the worst tires I've ever had!
The only relatively weak characteristic is wet breaking, but compared with other excellent parameters of the tires. Evan with this relatively weak side they blow away all my previews tyers! I strongly recommend it to performance drivers.

Renault Modus 1.5Dci Authentique

bought to replace rear tires that were very poor in wet so wet grip was important. These are just great and confident on bends and roundabouts, both wet and dry. I'm not too concerned about how long they last as I just want to arrive safely in all conditions. My local tire dealer 'price matched' ASDA.

best tires i ve ever had in this size. only flaw is that the sidewalls are a bit soft. You will notice this with high speed tight cornering.
These tires are very, very quiet, still look new after 7.000 km.
Excellent grip in wet and dry. they feel very safe.

As the order feedback , mine is the same. Very fast wear, but very good on aquaplaning ( saved my life couple of times ). The dealer told me that they are better than conti, but I highly doubt. Mine are XL version and they are really soft ( came with damaged side ) ... Not the best summer tire and for the price is just not realistic. They are on 10 000 miles and pretty much life has vanished from them so next summer will try Nokian. Hope they will be better.

Volkswagen bora tdi

when I first bought these tires, they were so much quieter and grippier than the continentals that were on the car but after a while I noticed how fast they were wearing, i do drive the car fairly hard and found the sidewalls far too soft for quick cornering especially on a heavy front ended front wheel drive diesel. They also seem very prone to leaking a few psi which again increases the sidewall flex. Ive had better tires that cost less. The car hasnt got any worn bushes or poor geometry either
