Great A/S, very sticky AND solid, acting precise. Driven sporty lasting less than my favorit AD08RS (5 vs. 7Tkm) but at equal level of fun! Since December 3Tkm mainly mountain roads driven at temp below 20 Celsius, worried about higher ambient/tarmac temp worse wear. Will buy again in autum.

Dunlop SportMaxx RT rated 84% while driving a MINI Cooper

I had these tyres on the Mini for some time and they have been very confident and competent. Given that they are a ten year old design and the tyre is still so competent, I wonder if Dunlop has improved them quietly over the years as they are very widely available at BMW/Mini dealerships still. So after hitting the biggest pot hole in the world and broke the springs and many things, the dealer had to replace my front tyres as well. They recommended the starred (bmw fitment) Dunlop Sport Maxx RT again and even though I could have got the supreme Michelin Pilot Sport 5 for a much cheaper price outside a dealership, I agreed with the dealer and chose the Dunlop again. That is how highly I rate these tyres after years of driving with them and the Dunlops are phenominal at dealing with aquaplaning!
Kumho Ecsta PS71 rated 84% while driving a Fiat Cronos 1.8 AT

I have them placed in a Fiat Cronos with 17 wheel, the truth is that coming from the Pirelli P7 Cinturato, these Kumho PS71 actually pleasantly surprised me considering that they are similar in price to the Pirelli, they have low noise, excellent grip. I generally travel between 150km/h and 170km/h. The Pirellis do not provide security at all, these Kumhos transmit a feeling of grip and security at high speed. Now I put them on my other car, a Sandero RS that came from the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and I feel better comfort but when I push them to the limit they are good but not as good as the Michelin. Talking about cornering at the limit.
Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 rated 90% while driving a Suzuki Swift Sport 1.4 ZC33S

Amazing tyres for lightweight platform (car weigh under a ton). Cornering ability has improved dramatically, it feels like the car has been fitted with LSD, the harder the car is push into the corner, the more it goes into the corner (OEM tyre, CSC5, would resist and step out). Now the car feel so much more eager to rotate. Astonishingly, the tyre also make the car more settled, I suspect due to stiffer sidewall which let the suspension do its job better. Steering feel has also improved considerably, more granular feeling.
A little bit greasy on the wet but it's ok since the tyre will communicate this through the steering wheel. The noise it generate is of different pitch than OEM, more of a rumble instead of a roar. It will start making considerable noise at 30km/h but strangely doesn't get any noisier.

Good quality, quiet, soft and resistant tyre. Provides excellent rim protection and good cornering agility. I put on 4 new tyres about a month ago to replace some Michelin Primacy 4, and it was definitely an upgrade over the original tyres, especially in terms of comfort and noise. When I need to change tyres in the future, I'll certainly choose the same ones, I recommend them!
Michelin CrossClimate 2 rated 68% while driving a Ford Fiesta ST X

Running CC2s as winter tyres on my Fiesta ST X and they are absolutely brilliant.
Had 1 drive through some very snowy alpine roads in a snow storm and it went pretty well. The tyres do seem to struggle slightly with slush that's been snowed on, but tbf I've never driven a tyre that doesn't.
They're fine in the wet, just a little dead in terms of feedback and fairly understeery...
In the dry I was very impressed with how long I could push on backroads before struggling with temperature. Road feedback is pretty good, but that might be from the lighter rims, not just the tyres.
Overall I can highly recommend this tyre if you don't have to go through heavy snow regularly.
(Don't know about ice, but I'm sure they'd struggle pretty hard)

Autogrip P308 Plus rated 64% while driving a MINI Cooper S

For the price of this tyre they are an overall great tyre, they have performed much better than expected. No they aren’t a proper performance tyre but that being said they have enough traction on a 200bhp Mini Cooper s that they don’t get wheel spin in any gear apart from 1st even in the wet. I have pushed them reasonably hard over the last few years and they have still got about 1.5mm of usable tread left but have started to perish around the edges of the tyre. They are very quiet for cruising compared to previous tyres Ive had on the car, and the comfort is decent too.
Would I buy these again, if it wasn’t going on a performance car, then yes I definitely would.

I used tyres for road and occasional track use. The best tyre I’ve ever had on the swift sport. I simply love them. Also the rim protection is very good.

Quite simply, the worst tyres I have ever had the misfortune to endure. OEM on my new Fiesta, I am happy because I am replacing these tyres tomorrow morning! They have loads of miles left in them, but they just feel unsafe in the wet and I can't continue without confidence in them.
The highlights are they have probably saved me a few quid in fuel and they are relatively comfortable and quiet. The downsides are they are appalling in the wet, particularly so in deeper water where aquaplaning becomes the norm. In the dry, they understeer at the merest hint of enthusiastic driving, so absolutely no fun to be had. They are to be replaced with Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 6's tomorrow and I can't wait.

Four Tyres fitted to a mini cooper s to replace Goodyear eagle 3. Really disappointed. Not that great in the dry, and terrible in the wet. Just flashing traction control lights. After just 2 years and 6000 miles all four Tyres were advisory on the MOT with cracking down all the treads. Now replaced.
