OEM fitted to Mazda 6 from new, only covered 12,500 miles when tyres had 2mm across centre. Road noise not bad, but wear really bad. I dont hammer round corners but dont hang about either, saying that ive never had a set of tyres on any car that have covered less than 20,000 miles so in my opinion these are poor. Having a set of Dunlop Sport SP 01's fitted later so we'll see how they perform.

Fitted as standard to the Mazda 5 Sport.They are resonably quiet and handle well in the dry. On hot summer days the compound really starts to work. Although the tread wear on the front and rear are ok, due to the negative camber setup on the front of the Mazda 5, they wear through the inner shoulder and crack the entire tyre carcass long before the tread has worn out.The wet grip is poor. The rears have also cracked with 27,000 mile on, but still with 5mm of tread.Some of the blame lies with Mazda, but some also lies with this tyre.I have had the same problems with 8 tyres.These tyre problems shouldn't happen on an 18 month old car.I am going to try a different make of tyre next to compare.

These are fitted as OEM tyres by Mazda at the factory so didnt have a say in their fitment. Grip is very poor in both wet and dry, I have no confidence in them in any speed over 50mph so needless to say I wouldnt know how they perform at the limit. Cannot wait till they wear out so I can get them changed. STEER WELL CLEAR !!!

The fronts lasted 12,000 miles and the rears 25,000. Below average grip in the dry and non existant in the wet. Even with new tread depth these tyres were prone to aquaplaning on the motorway an heavy rain without pooling water. From other reviews I have seen, I was lucky to get the mileage I did, a motorway driver in a Lexus only got 10,000 miles. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE IF YOU WANT TO STAY ON THE ROAD IN A STICKY SITUATION.
