Given 46% while driving a Citroën C15 van (155/80 R13) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles

So much heavies, really bad wear. I had a scare when braking in the wet, skidded several meters at a pedestrian crossing… NOT Recomend

Given 63% while driving a Lancia Lancia Y 1.2 (165/65 R14) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles

I have these tyres on the back of my car. The front has different tryres. Right now I have driven about 5000 km now and I can tell you that these tyres are good in the dry. They are also very silent like the tests show. Comfort is also high. HOWEVER: lethal in the wet! No joke! When cornering and taking roudabouts on a good wet road the back of the car (where these tyres are fitted) slides like hell. I find it rather dangerous so I do not recommend these tyres at all! Unless you live in a place there is never rains at all.

Citroën (155/65 R14 T) on mostly town for 5,000 miles

Have these fitted at the front by the previous owner. I was pretty happy by the fact they were a mainstream brand compared to the cheap fitted at the back. Got the car at the peak of summer, so grip wasn't an issue as virtually any decent summer tire will do its job. Lateral grip was very good in the dry but barely screeched on the limit, so it was hard to tell when it was about to give away. Every blue moon, I would feel the ABS slightly kick in when coming slowly to a stop. At first I thought it was the ABS starting to act up or something else. Not until the rain came and the roads were wet.. I've met the devil. I struggled to hold the car down at the road abouts. Corners where I usually would blast off, was driving like a snail. I could feel the tires trying to break away at the easiest turns and slipping as I accelerated out of the side roads. A 68hp car spinning wheels? How's that possible? Bad tires that is. Luckily the car's tires are slim therefore it has naturally a very good longitudinal grip, so braking wasn't a massive issue. The tires barely have 5000 miles with plenty of thread but nothing special. Has signs of cosmetic cracks and the side blocks determination.

Given 57% while driving a Fiat Punto 1.2 8v (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 25,000 spirited miles

Overall pretty good tire especially on dry roads. Pretty bad on wet, car understeers pretty much everytime, one of the worst tires on the wet that i drove. Wear is pretty good. If you want a great tire on dry this one is for you if you live in non rainy areas.

These are excellent dry grip tyres! Compared to other tyres on the market these hold the road well in wet and dry.

I had the original Multihawk, and now the Multihawk 2. Seems much the same, which isn't a bad thing. Good all round tyre, nice price.
