These really are a very good tires. Grip on the dry surface is perfect for my experience compared to other brands. Also grip on the wet surface is not bad and I am impressed. I would definitely buy another set of these tires at any time when required to do so and I will highly recommend to anyone.
If it's warm and dry these tires seem ok, however in the wet they are down right dangerous. Even in a modestly powered car, in third gear acceleration can cause the driven wheels to totally lose contact. In the wet my traction control is permanently cutting in.
I would not recommend these tires despite the acceptable dry performance as they are too much of an issue in the wet. I will be dumping them part worn when I swap back to my winter tires in a few months.
These tires are rubbish,had to replace them due to going out of shape and making an awful noise and they are not even half worn.Have learnt a valuable lesson here,never by cheap tires they are exactly that!
Driven on a 2010 2.0TSI 210bhp Scirocco GT, all four wheel fitted with Mythos'. Front tires have lasted 8000 miles, I may get another 1000 miles from them but it'll be tight, rear tires will last 10000. Offers average to good levels of grip in the dry, my nerves go before the car in most occasions. They allow the car to grip in the dry with a small progressive tendency to under steer giving a feeling of confidence. In the wet the story is totally different- cannot put the power down at all spinning the wheels in first and second under normal driving conditions and in third when accelerating hard. Under steer is much much worst in wet conditions and I have no confidence to approach a corner carrying any momentum. Would not buy again. Tires came fitted by approved VW garage when buying second hand (3 years old with very low miles). Disappointing that the VW garage fits such a poor tire to a performance car.
These really are a very poor tire. Grip in the dry is (just) ok for normal running around town, although the tram-lining is becoming worse as the tires wear. But as soon as the road becomes damp they become dangerous. It is almost impossible to pull out of a junction without spinning the wheels, even with very low revs and a feather touch on the throttle. Wet cornering and braking inspires no confidence, with a feeling almost like driving on ice. Would definitely not recommend and I'll be changing them very soon, even though they are only half worn - I value my life too much to continue taking this unacceptable risk.
Probably the worst tires I have ever fitted to my car. Poor in terms of wear and handling in the wet was uncertain. Tires come with a good warranty and are fairly cheap. Wont be buying again.
I bought a full set of these tires for my Vectra 2.6V6 and suffice to say they were good at first but have only lasted 4 months and are worn out. Ive only been driving locally roughly 3000 miles and dont drive to extremes. I,m very disappointed with the quality of these tires. I,m now looking at an all season tire as they have a better lifespan.
