Given 60% while driving a Mercedes Benz E Class (235/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 easy going miles
They have lasted under 15,000 miles of gentle driving on the front of the car (ie not the driving wheels, and I never turn the car steering when stationary). Other than that they are okay.

Given 58% while driving a Porsche 924S (195/65 R15) on mostly country roads for 300 spirited miles
I wanted to try PC6 after a set of Falken Ziex ZE310. After a few hundred miles, I switched back to Falken. Falken seems to do a better job in the dry at the things that matter to me: cornering, braking, steering response. Maybe because of the soft beads and thin sidewalls of PC6, they didn't performed well at these.. at least in the size of 195/65r15 and with the factory Porsche 924S suspension and tire pressure setup (29-36psi) No clue about wet performance.. but according to the tests, PC6 is bad at aquaplanning as well..

Given 59% while driving a Volvo 2.0 T5 Saloon (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 13,000 spirited miles
Nice tires overall, although quite expensive. Pretty disconnected steering feel and soft sidewall. Good rim protection because of huge sidewall. Wet Performance decent with very high Aquaplaning resistance. Get smeery If the Temperaturen rise. OK wear Nett ones will probably be Goodyear Efficentgrip Performance. 2. All in all good tyre for average drivers but expensive

Given 60% while driving a Mazda 3 2.2D 150 (/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 3,000 spirited miles
I only drive 3000Km. Somehow I expected more but the grip is pretty average. At the very beginning, the tires were awful. They had no grip at all. Now over the time they have gained more grip.

Given 73% while driving a Citroën C Elysee (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 20,000 spirited miles
I used PC6 for 30000 35000 km mostly on highways with high loads and high speeds. These tires perform very well when they are hot, especially on lateral forces. I never felt unsecure while turning at limits. Dry braking grip is very good while hot. Wet braking is good and handling is ok. After 15000km usage tires started to perform less on dusty tarmac, i never found sufficient grip at dusty city roads that's maybe because tires don't get hot at city driving. Although tires still have decent amount of thread on them i am planning to change them because of this cold tire grip problem at the mid to end life their life.

Given 63% while driving a Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 dci 160hp (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 1,500 spirited miles
Very weak side wall, tyre loses grip in corners when pushed very hard, 1,2,3 even 4th sometimes turning traction control on, on 100% dry tarmac with temps around 30°c, scary...sold them after 3000km

Given 83% while driving a Citroën C4 (205/50 R16) on mostly motorways for 30,000 spirited miles
Change to Continental when I had a flat tire on my 60000 kms Michelin Primacy 4. In the remote area of Greece in the summer (where I had that incident) that was the only respectable tires available and I said to myself the heck lets give it a try. Only had Michelin before in my trusted friend that's my old Citroen C4 1.6 with 450.000 kms on and mainly in highways. I was amazed how well they performed in all weather conditions with speeds 130 to 160 kms per hour for hours and hours (only trouble with temperatures above 30oC where they are sloppy) I drive sometimes 2000 kms per trip. Now its time to replace them although there is no sign of malfunction on their performance or sign of deterioration, I just want to feel safe. Guess what ! I am going to buy new Continental again since Michelin are great (not so expensive) but not so trust worthy in the long run, yes Germans beat the competition on endurance and reliability (again).

Given 53% while driving a Saab Automobile 93 Sportwagen 150 TiD (235/45 R17) on mostly town for 8,500 average miles
Terrible longevity. The tyres needed replacing at 8500 miles. Sent off to Continental who blamed tracking, despite the wear being the full width of the tyres and the tracking fine. Last time I'd buy Continental.

Very disappointed from these tyres. Very bad handling in wet conditions. Descent in the dry. My previous tyres were Vredestein Ultrac Satin and Sportrac 5 (on my previous car AR 156 140hp) which were much better.

Given 30% while driving a Mercedes Benz C220 cdi sport (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 3,728 spirited miles
Bought this tyre gor a MB w204 coupe, in 6000km they were shot. The worst tyre you can buy to drive a bit sporty. Car was just sliding all the time, there was no feedback from the front due to too much understeer. I would even deem this tyre unsafe for any fast car or a fast driver.

I have used these tires about 15000 kilometers. It feels absolutely safe on both dry and wet surfaces. The best performance tire I've ever used, especially on dry ground. The only missing point is that it is a bit loud compared to its competitors. Overall I recommend it to everyone.
