Renault RenaultSport Megane 175 dCi Tires

Fitted the tires 10 days ago and drove some 3500 km with them across Europe - country roads, motorways, Autobahn and city driving. Dry grip is really good, especially at higher speeds. Wet grip is excellent. Drove on the autobahn in the heaviest rain you can imagine - no problems at all even at 130kmp/h +. The tire dissipated the water excellently.

OK, So I drive enthusiastically, so grip is the priority in wet and dry. I like to feel the car and feel what is going on. Aside from the appalling wear, it was by far the best tire I had ever had. If only Continental can make the same tire last even twice the same distance... I'd have bought them by the lorry load.

Feedback is active, you know what's happening, the grip level in the dry was phenomenal. Very surprising in the wet. But again, 6k on the front and 8k on the rear is shocking. Have since fitted Dunlop Sport Maxx RT which were nearly as good as the conti's and on the front lasted 11k. My opinion, well, to some its like chalk and cheese. Try the dunlops if you expect better longevity in this size if your car has the same handling characteristics as my car.
