The Three A P606 receives more praise than criticism for dry and wet grip, low noise and value, with 27 of 47 reviews positive overall. Comfort also attracts favorable comments, and mid-life and end-of-life reports generally support useful tread life, though mileage varies. A minority describe soft sidewalls and less precise steering, so the comfort does not always come with sharp responses. Several separate owners also report sidewall bulges or separation, rather than ordinary tread wear, although these are not the majority experience. One repeat owner remains positive through an end-of-life report, but that individual history does not establish a shared ageing pattern.

Having owned a lot of premium cars with mixed mid-range to premium tires I bought the Mercedes and these tires were fitted brand new by the seller. They are without a doubt the worst tire I have ever used.
First Dry Grip, 35-40mph on a large roundabout induced screech and loss of grip (no acceleration). Soft sidewall but relatively quiet.
Wet Grip, DANGEROUS 20-25mph entering a roundabout induces understeer and 15-20mph out of a comer under acceleration induces oversteer twitching & fishtail. (only 177bhp with this car so not like its a big powerful motor).
Bought a set of three a p606 too replace my Bridgestone Potenza Re002 Adrenelin.
For the money their brilliant, good dry grip but easily start loosing grip the harder you push on when heat starts taken effect. They have a much softer sidewall to the Bridgestone I grew used too so lacks road feel for myself however they are reasonably predictable meeting the limit. In damp conditions the offer good grip levels and even in really wet conditions disperses the water nearly aswell as rain sport 3s.
Can't comment on road noise as my car has full exhaust so not a factor that effect me.
Wear is pretty good so far 3000miles into a set and just rotated tires (extremely spirited driving).
Overall for a cheap budget tire that has decent grip levels look no further, however if you looking for a pure performance tire I'd recommend premium brands such as Bridgestone.

Purchased two brand new three a's last week for my 15 plate i20. Two fitted and balanced for 100 quid which is a bargain! No problem fitting with the tpms. Grip is positive and relentless with good feedback in the dry. Not had the pleasure of using in the wet yet but I've been informed they are C rated in the wet...Which is good enough for me! A little noisy on motorway but acceptable nevertheless. Decent from what I can tell so far!

hiya bought these tires after reading their reviews on the car tire site and i am pleased to say that so far only after a thousand miles that they are a very good budget tire and has good if not better than some top rated tire and would buy again
THREE A P606 - 205/55/26: Having bought some for Mondeo (215/55/16) a while ago and I am well impressed so far with the performance, I decided to go for the same for the wifes Ford Focus. I shopped around various online outlets before seeing them at a BARGAIN price of £35 each + fitting on a certain 'intergalactic supermarket' of E**y. Having spoken to the retailer, I managed to arrange an even better MEGA BARGAIN PRICE to the value of £30 per tire FITTED!!
On the drive home, I have to admit that the comfort compared to her previous tires was excellent, quiet and responsive. I threw it in to a couple of sharp bends an they held very well. In the rain, again, despite being new, they held well at speed on the motorway even hitting a couple of puddles, the water was displaced to give excellent grip with no lightness of steering to effect aquaplaning..
These tires are classed as Budget tires but certainly surpass some of those of the more expensive Branded range by experience... Certainly recommend these tires..
Bought a set of after market wheels which came with the P606 fitted, I wasn't too sure what they were going to be like, I had previously used Continentals, Dunlop and Avon tires on the TT, I was driving in the wet and was surprised to see how much spray was produced by these tires, wet grip is excellent, dry grip is just as good as premium brands, really can't fault these tires, I got 8000 spirited miles out of the first set, so pleased with them, and shocked at getting another 4 tires for under £150!!!!.......Can't rate them high enough!!!
These have fared better than most premium tires I have previously used. Definitely worth the money, also guaranteed to last longer than my last set of nasty Continentals as these at over 7k which is all ContiSportContact Conti could managed!
Simple decision at £60 each, compared to £120 Continentals. Shame local supplier didn't have in my rear size 245/35R18.
Bonus mine came with rim protection.
Will review again when tires are totally worn out.
Bought these at £126 x4 delivered of ebay size 225/45/17s absolutely shocked how good they for the money,I've had loads mid to top end tires before on different vehicles,and these are on par if not better than most,will be buying them again 💯👌ðŸ»
('58 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi). First impression is that it is a good quality tire for the price being a 'Budget' tire. Very quiet both outside and inside the car. A soft tire for and Extra Load tire but It absorbs the road well giving a very soft, smooth & comfortable ride, even speed bumps feel a bit softer such is the absorbing properties of the tire. MPG (up by 3 MPG on the trip computer) has also increased slightly compared to my previous tires so I'm saving money again already. In the wet, I've not punished the tire as I don't when conditions are wet but pushing it hard in to a roundabout I misjudged, it held very well... I cannot give a clear verdict on treadwear having only had the tires a few days.... Time will tell. Otherwise I fully recommend this tire if you're on a budget or after a genuinely good tire..
these are branded as a winter tire not summer, bought these for our x jaguar x type as a cheap make doo but im amazed and bought some more. seeing iv been in motor trade for over 30 years and for a tire iv never heard of im very happy with this underdog brand. quiet, great grip wet or dry, only 2 criticisms are soft side wall so have to run pressures slightly higher than normal drip is great wet or dry at sacrifice of how long they last but at the price im happy.
