Zeta Ztr10 rated 71% while driving a BMW Z4 3.0Si
Driving on mostly motorways for 3000 spirited miles
Drove 2200 miles in the Swiss Alps and down to Italy then back home to the Uk in my BMW Z4,did the Stelvio pass and the tyres performed admirably.. they are still new so I can comment for them when the get older or worn but they were good on this road trip

Accelera Iota rated 87% while driving a Volvo XC90 D5 (163bhp)
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
Had these on all four corners of my Volvo XC90 for 6 years so gone few a few sets. These have been great. They are a tad noisier than the scorpions but I can't hunk per £ they are much better. I've used General Grabbers and in my opinion the Accellera iota are better. I had 5 new tyres fitted for £72 each corner. Bargain. As for the chap who said that he replied these after a week... You must have more money than sense!
These are great tyres on the Volvo.

Fullrun HP199 rated 36% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDi 170 S Line
Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
I had these on the fronts when I bought my Audi A4 in July 2011 (the rears were sporting Falken 452s).

Over the last 12,000 odd miles I've driven them, they have been quite good although they need changing now as they are almost illegal (they've given the previous driver and I around 20,000 miles). I intended to change them as soon as I got the car but they have never really let me down in the dry or wet albeit I don't drive like a nutter when the roads are wet anyway. They were hopeless on ice though but then again they are summer tyres. The one thing I really hate about them are they spin like mad in the wet and cannot handle 170bhp at all. You have to be gentle when you launch off the traffic lights in the wet.

The downsides are comfort and noise. They are noisy on the motorway and although the S-Line has a harder suspension than the standard car, the tyres do not help at all and the ride is almost hard as my previous Subaru Impreza STI.

Would I buy again? No. I am just about to get 4 Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas which will replace the Fullruns and Falkens.
