Its the third set of Petlas PT741 I bought.
First two sets ok acceptable with very good prices in Hong Kong.
However, the third set (bought in 2021) has merely over 10,000 km , and cracks appeared on inner sidewall of 4 tires . Contacted the local agent through the dealer, and showed them photos of the cracks ( from 2 to 4 inches long).
The local agent showed photos and details to the factory and they insisted that the cracks were results of under inflation.
I am a car guy who checks tire pressure on bi-monthly basis, and always and cold tire pressure roughly 10% above recommended PSI from car makers of all my cars.
Upon their reply , I immediately purchased another set , different brand and replaced the potential dangerous tires
No chance I would purchase this brand again

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Just done 2000 miles on these across Northern Europe, brilliant tires, tested them on the autobahn and they were great , in fact very good! This trip was in the height of a very hot summer, so yet to be tested on snow and ice.
Please dont buy! You will get killed whit those tires. In wet are 0!!!! Michelin Sport 4 on the way.
Just replaced the factory fitted Conti SSR MOE. First impression is good, and i can see why everyone are opting for these tires. Very reassuring handling, unlike the Conti, the rear end doesn't bounce around when going across a bridge-joint around a curve at speed (> 60kmh).
Lets hope they will last longer than the Conti.

tires almost need replacing at 5600miles with average driving
I have a merc c250 cgi (petrol) ..energy saver V runs absolutely perfect! Tires lasted for 6 years (2years in Uk, 4 years in super-hot Cyprus)..73.000km!!! Thanks Michelin! I am going to replace them with the same tires. Factory stopped producing them, but i did manage to find 4 brand new which are 13 months old..i dont think its a big problem. You only hear the turbo sound! Are noiseLess!
Very good experience with Sport Contact 3 making 18500 miles on the rear. Very similar to the OE Michelins albeit at a lower price. Replaced with Continental Sport Contact 5 which gave similar grip to the 3's except for wear rate. Very disappointed with mileage which was down to 14000, so obviously the 5's use a softer compound. Will not use again.
