Cons: wet grip is bad, done 17.000 miles and already has 4mm (although first 7000 miles done by dealer). Biggest problem is noise - not sure if its from lack of car insulation or tyres only. I will change to some very good tyre in terms of noise and see if its any better.

Those tyres were a huge disappointment on wet roads. If it rains outside and you want to go for a fast drive is better to stay at home watch TV. Wet grip is so poor that makes you feel your car is an 90 years old one.
For dry roads those tyres are ok and they respond god. I have made 18000 miles and the front ones are close to end but the rear are like new. I can't wait to finish them and buy something else. Never ever buy them again was the biggest disappointment even Toyo and Yokohama are much more better than those.

I too have a Mazda 6 Sport 2.5 2010 estate and I have clocked up 15000 miles and I only now need 2 two new front tyres, I will definitely looking at buying them again. They grip well in the wet and dry and as for road noise very rare I hear any only on certain damaged road surfaces.
