Used them on a trackprepared Saxo 1.1i 60 hp. Confident grip in dry and wet conditions. I think it's a good tire. And not too expensive either. But it wears fast. I did 1 trackday on the wet, it was ok. But after a second trackday in the dry (I admit I was pushing to the limit), they wore off very fast which makes me hesitant to use them one more time or not. But the grip is convincing.

What Citroën Saxo 1.1 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
They are for very easy going driving style. In the wet is spinning like crazy after some miles and makes every corner dangerous. They are very nice in the dry and open road. In the dry the braking is very easy for them but in the wet they are scare!
Just bought a set of four and I think they are very good. The dry grip is fantastic and the wet grip isn't to bad either, my car used to understeer in the wet but now it seems to be neutral. The ride is smoother than it was before with the michelin tires I had before on steel wheels.
And all them people that complain about them being dangerous in the wet it's there own fault for pushing to hard, the tires are sold as summer tires so what do they expect?

I would reconmend these tires to anyone, i purchased these tires on 28'000 i'm now on 59'000, they are only half worn, average 15'000 miles per year.
I have total trust with tires wet or dry and would'nt use anything else.
When i first purchased my saxo it had budget tires on the fronts i found the sterring to be extremley heavy , my husband who works for Mitchelin reconmended the energy savers to me, since having these fitted the sterring is a lot lighter.
I would give these tires 10/10.
