Driving on mostly town for 4000 easy going miles
I bought my Mercedes SL500 with these already fitted. Absolutely lethal in the wet with no grip whatsoever. I will be changing as soon as I have the cash.

Just plain rubbish

Had on a merc SL - The back end was dreadful - wear was horrendous. fronts randomly wore to steel ribbing which I have never had on any tires before and none since.

I don't get why these tires are rated so highly

Overall a good tire, that withstand very hot road temperatures and good on wet performance, but very noisy. 45000km done and the tires are baked due to the desert temperature 50c, still lots of tread .

Driving on mostly motorways for 30000 average miles
I had this tire on my SL500 and while they looked pretty they gradually wore badly and pulled to the left. No amount of alignment resolved it.
The tread was fine over most of the tire by small areas near the inside edge were stripped to the canvas.
They were quite noisy even on smooth new motorway.
I am much happier running the Eagle F1 Asymetric 2 now.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 given 100% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 60 average miles
I fitted new Goodyear Eagle F1 As 2 to my car today and drove 60 miles on a mixture of wet and dry roads, dual carriageway and country lanes. First impressions are very good. The tires felt sure-footed, were quiet and steering felt positive. I will report again after a few thousand miles.
