Given 50% while driving a BMW 320i (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Only for drift in the wet tarmac. Good at dry but poor in wet.

Not too bad at all - had these on the front and they spent about a month there while waiting for my new tires.

Responsive and crisp with a good wear rate - not suitable for wet use on anything other than a 4 door saloon though as grip was not good at all.

Previous comment about proper suspension setup is probably about right. The TF rivals and probably just beats the MX5 on handling (I drive both regular) and they both make good use of the performance of a tire rather than just being steering tools.

Have these on my car..
A pretty cheap tire and OK for the money but nothing to shout about. Ride noise is loud and doesn't suit my Mercedes so I will be changing to a more up market tire next time around.
Grip is decent in the dry but hit and miss in damp conditions.

Given 70% while driving a Honda Accord (225/35 R18) on mostly town for 15,500 average miles
Had these tires fitted to my car for about 25000km (15500 miles) on Australian roads found to be very responsive in dry conditions, wet was not as impressive but safe (with sensible driving). Suited well to my suspension set-up. road noise was definitely apparent but is expected with many low profile tires on the market and was not overwhelming in a modified vehicle. Managed to get considerably large mileage considering giving them a fairly hard time towards the end of their life (although was babied at new). These are good tires which I can recommend to a daily driver and should not be criticised due to lack of knowledge or experience. Would certainly buy again.
cheers, Leo

Just read the previous reviews-bah!
These tires are for cars with proper handling Suspension. My car has been set up correctly (with me sitting in it at the time), and these tires have kept me on the road where others would have failed. Dry grip is excellent, cars steps out when asked with no nasty surprises. Take it easy in the wet tho, but you should always take it easy on wet roads!! better when all four wheels are fitted with these boots. Problem today is, every body thinks they know how to drive and then blame the tires when thier 'knowledge' is put to the test. Don't blame the tires-blame the nut behind the wheel!

Not a bad loking tire, rim bead was a little small considering this was a selling point! The biggest criticism is wear.....gone through a set on my light van in less that 9k, very disappointing! Quite positive in the dry but when its wet....better stay at home! Won't be bothering again!

Given 44% while driving a Toyota MK2 MR2 Turbo (235/40 R17 W) on track for 2,000 spirited miles
Very poor wet grip and just average in the dry, look the part but not especially cheap. Struggled big time with these on a wet day at Donington, spent more time sideways than in a straight line, not even that great for drifting as not especially progressive. Not recommended unless all your doing is motorway miles as they do seem hard wearing.

Probably the worst "performance" tire i've ever used, wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
