Further to my earlier report last year, 50 year old git here. When these tires got worn to 2mm yread at the lowest, they got 4 mpg per pair worse!
Then ran over a ring pull and stabbed the inside shoulder, instant flat, 5th in 1,250,000 miles. on inspection, there was nothing there to stop the ring pull!
I have not been able to replace these, so I went for some GoodYear Efficient contacts for £55 per pair cheaper with an efficiency rating I found of B. The Powergys I found one rating of F! The Goodies sound better on most road serfaces!
Hope this helps someone!..
I have these on the front of my Rover 75 (2.5L Petrol) and am generally pleased with these boots. The grip on the road in dry conditions is impressive and have had no problems when driving at speed in the wet. The car handled well when I hit flood water on the M25 while driving at 70mph. These tires are about to be replaced with another pair of the same after 40k miles as I am satisfied with the wear, comfort and low noise.
40k on the fronts, rears have done 70k and have plenty of life left in them. Will be buying these again, assuming Pirelli still make them by the time these wear out!
Overall good quality tire and if you maintain the air pressure will last an age. Not 100% convinced with the fuel saving aspect found the Continental and Michelin tires are far better fuel savers. Have had the same set for over 55,000 miles and still above legal limit. I should get another 5,000 out of them. Great dry grip, best tires for cornering. Downside not the quietest tire I've had but comfort still remains good.
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
Now, i'm 17 so i can't really give a full analysis on these tires but from when i bought my car i've only a few thousand miles and the tires have worn so fast, but they're a fairly soft compound and its a heavy car that i really like to 'drive,' so its to be expected.
However, they are pretty grippy in the dry, you can feel it stick going around roundabouts and they feel alright at speed. They are however noisy and on the few occasions that in rains in Western Australia, they feel unresponsive and you can feel a significant loss of traction.
I have a pair Continental Sport Comfort 2 tires on the back and can't fault them, they wear so much better, are so much quieter and you never hear tire squeal, if you've got a larger, heavier car like myself, id recommend those. I'll be buying a pair for the front because i'm not overly impressed by the pirellis' !
