Surprisingly good in the snow we had recently, they dealt with it flawlessly compared to GoodYears on my Saab which were terrible in comparison. They are fairly good in the wet as well, but their weakness is definitely dry roads. Handling feels vague compared to my previous tires on cornering.
Quite noisy but these tires weren't designed for extreme comfort, they were designed for a job which they do satisfactorily. I'd buy them again if I needed a cheaper set of winter tires for occasional or seasonal use. Wouldn't keep them fitted all the time. Can't yet comment on wear.

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.

What Peugeot 306 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
On my third set of Imps on three different cars. First set were changed from Michelin Crossclimates (225/45 17s) and hardly any difference between them - no way enough to justify Michelin's silly prices. Grippy and last really well.
Definitely a really good surprise on dry roads, I've tried to find the limit on corners going very hard, and I've struggled to find it.
On wet roads, you have to be more careful, maybe the aquaplaning limit is slightly low, and when braking downhill, depending on the pavement, sometimes my car (no ABS) locks very easily.
Going to change to an all-season premium brand soon for peace of mind and snow capabilities just in case.
Given its pricepoint and performance, there is no need to ride with more expensive overworn tires, as these tires are not dangerous, at all.
TL;DR more than good enough tires to transport you safely. Just a little bit careful on wet, wou won't find the limit on a regular daily driver
I had these tires on my car for about 12 000 km, using them mostly on twisty secondary roads. Although the tires had plenty of grip whatever the conditions (I've never reached grip limit), they lacked rigidity. There is always a feeling to be running about 10psi lower than normal, even though the pressure is correct. Driving is therefore a bit imprecise and so doesn't push to be sporty. The tires are nonetheless comfortable and suite economical, as I was running on average at 5.0 liter/100km. Finally, the wear is for me the main problem : after 12000km (7500 miles) my front tires are completely worn, while the rear are about 50%. this looks really low, even considering the road taken
Amazing handling on wet as well as on dry tarmac, quiet and responsive. The only drawback was rather quick wear, as you would expect from very grippy tires.
Great wet braking!! Silent, and in 30000kms the tires are in +/- 50%. Very good quality with low price!
These tires have very good grip in the dry and suprising grip in the wet, not under steered in the rain once and are very comfy but I think this is because of the soft side wall which then leads to a lack of feedback when driving and ruins the handling when cornering fast. Road noise is also good in that in my car i cant hear them over the wind noise.
Found grip wet and dry to be good. Fairly quiet tire too, only downside is they only lasted 12,000 miles and driven sensibly... so based on quick wear won't be buying again..
Hankook Optimo K415 tires are really not good, I really wish I'd gone with another make but after reading the reviews on here and the rubbish on their website I thought I'd buy them.
Never again will I waste my money on Hankook tires, I tried speaking to Hankook and all they did was palm me off. Terrible road holding, no feedback and my car feels like it has jelly on all 4 corners.

I bought these as a budget option from my garage. They ended up charging me Michelin money for them, but that's beside the point. They're an overall good tire. The grip in the dry and wet is good. As well is the grip on snow. The handling inspires confidence. Road noise isn't too bad in my opinion. You hear them, but not annoyingly. I can't say much about wear yet, since I have had them for just 5k km.
