great for getting the tail out, break away smoothly and comes back in without drama....great fun on roundabouts without worrying of ending up facing backwards...
look great too :)

Another good road tire, never driven on track with this tire but not heard great things, need to try for myself though! Warm up quickly on the road and are an easy going tire with nice and progresive breakaway, plenty of wet grip and above average in the dry. Look the part and not too expensive either!

I must be alone in the world on this: I thought they were rubbish, absolute rubbish. They gave no grip at all compared to the (original) Michelin Pilot Sports (not PS2s) that preceded them. They were especially horrid in the wet.
Definitely a tire bought for looks, and not for grip in my experience.

A very good all round road tire, very impressive in the wet.

This has to be one of the best road tires I've ever used, the grip from cold and in the wet is stunning and they're pretty decent in the dry too.
One thing I will say though is I do a lot of trackdays and these really don't hold up well to track abuse. The rubber overheats and starts to break apart rather rapidly so if you're planning on doing a track day go try something else!

Probably the best wet tire I've used on a car, although if the road surface gets at all mucky, the tread pattern isn't so good at cutting down through it. Good feedback, but I've not driven near the limit enough to worry about progressiveness. Decent ride quality and noise levels.

Great traction in the summer, reasonable in the wet. Never had an issue with the progressiveness, would definately buy these again - just for the funky tread pattern! ;)

The tire is well suited for both easy and hard demanding drivers. Wet weather traction is exemplary. The tire is extremely quite and less prone to punctures due to the lateral tread configuration.
On the negative i have found the tire has a tendency for rear 'heel and toe' wear. This is a scallop/wave that produces an undulating scar in the tread.
In the dry the tire gives little indication of 'saturation' to the driver... unnerving even the experienced track day enthusiast.

Road feedback was a little hard to judge as anyone who's driven an A3 will tell you - the car has none at all. Wet and dry grip very good, and wear excellent. Not hugely progressive at the limit but that may be down to the car again.

Quite simply a revelation after using cheaper rubber. Not particularly progressive towards the limit but huge grip makes up for it. Quite quiet compared to other makes too. One negative is that I found it punctures easily, but that may be because of the low profile.
