I'm a 50 yr Old Git! I used to race fwd circuit cars and still like to embarrass the young upstarts in their go faster cars! with a mondeo estate, sometimes with a load on. I'm not really concerned with ultimate grip, wet or dry, it is progressivity I'm after, that way you know what is going to happen next!
These are my second lot of P6000 Powergy jag tires, on my Mondeo est, same car really. The rears had been on for 45k miles and the fronts for over 35, with enough left for MOTs but with the snow I'd like some tread! These tires were much better in the snow, compared with Michelin Pilots on a V70. I could go in mine where I couldn't in the V70. The tread pattern worked like a paddle steamer and got me going, sometimes towing the V70 out!
Geometry is critical with these tires, as regards both life and handling. They are amongst the quietest I have used. I reccon the extra mpg, about 3, when on economy runs to Scotland every month, has saved me £200+ over the life of the tires, so the extra cost has been well worth it.
If all you want is 'black and round' Powergy's are probably wasted on you:-)
Hope this honest review is helpful. All the Best....J
