Fitted to a 2.2 Vectra. They're fine in the dry, difficult to get to break away as they're so soft, road noise is acceptable (not much difference from the previous Michelins on the car), but they are not good in the wet. Even the slightest hint of acceleration on corners, or coming off roundabouts results in immediate understeer and traction control. Have tried adjusting pressures etc. no change. Wear is also moderate...fronts are down to TWI in a year (about 30000 motorway miles) - previous Michelins did 60K before changing! Rears are still good after that time though. But...they are under half the price of the Michelins, so maybe not so bad after all!

Hard wearing, and acceptable in the dry with good progressiveness, however wet grip is very poor. On my car with no ABS it is very easy to lock the wheels under moderate brakeing in wet/damp conditions. They also spin easily when pulling away and make the car understeer easily.

Spirited

Well these tyres came fittted to my VXR Astra when I bought the car from the dealer. and TBH the tyres would prob be great for a town car or for motorway journeys, but with the power the VXR has, the tyres can't cope well. There not bad in the dry and let you know slowly and softly when there letting go which is good. But in the wet there are just leathal on such a high powered FWD car.

I would def not recommend these for anyone will a mild/ high powred car. But like I said would be ok for town driving or just motorway miles all the time.

I was surprised to see the previous two comments being so poor. I am overall happy with this tyre and I am pretty sure it outperforms easily much more expensive tyres, search in google for some other tyre review websites from Germany, it was found to be one of the best tyres in wet. I have to say I have never experienced aqua planning in this tyre and I wish I could say the same for Dunlops, Pirellis and Bridgestone which I used in the past. It cost me ?160 inc fitting for 4 tyres two years ago. If I can find them at the same price I will buy them again!

Budget Tyres that handle well in the dry, but poorly in the wets (felt the rear end starting to go on roundabouts). The wear is terrible, 1 has become slick, 1 is wearing heavy on the shoulder, and other 2 are almost done as well. would not buy again
