I've just bought a 2014 Mini Cooper with these tires. Was going to upgrade immediately to Michelin Primacy 4 but on inspection found them barely worn.
Have decided to keep them for the moment.
The Mini actually corners faster in the wet than any car I've owned in the dry except a Leon Cupra on Goodyear F1 Assymetrics that I love but aren't available for 15" wheels. I think though that this is in spite of the thres not because of them. What I don't like is that there is no feedback and the steering feels dead which takes away the Mini fun. I have no idea what the tires are doing until the car starts to run wide.
I also find that I am all the time making small corrections to drive in a straight line.
Will upgrade to the Michelins soon but must first replace some Autogrips on the front of my wife's Ford Ka with Falken ZE310. Absurd that my 50+ year old Triumph Herald with 145/13 Falken SN832 has more grip in the wet.

I bought a second-hand car, and unforntely, it came with these dreadful tires. I remember driving down country roads. As soon as I went to a slight bend in the road, the tires felt vague, and before I knew it, there was a queue of about 20 cars I was holding people up. When it rained, it sounded like the doors were open. Perfect tires if you live inside the M25 and never go over 20mph, otherwise don't bother and get something decent
