They make a lot of noise, wet grip is...better say is not.
Never buy these again.
Wear is ok. about 40k KM~ 25k miles, and still to go until mark.

It seems to have good tires instaled on my car. It's 3 years I drove Goodyear. Change with snow ones in winter, otherwise, it sleap on snow the summer one. Good luck.

Excellent improvement in wet weather handling, dramatically reduced aquaplaning when hitting puddles at high speed. Very confidence inspiring.

A good all round tyre - a bit slippy in the snow, but overall performs well and have got 24,000 out of the front pair on a diesel mondeo estate

Given 94% while driving a Volkswagen Passat B5.5 130 TDI Sport (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 28,000 average miles
Very good choice. I have it on my Passat B5.5, they are excellence! On my front axle I have Excellence (made in Germany) and they are so good. On my back axle there are Excellence (made in Slovenia) and they are bit low...But they handle very well, excellent performance in dry and wet, on snow very bad, and I will buy them again, for sure. All recomendations.

Given 81% while driving a Fiat Marea 150 20v (185/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 8 spirited miles
Bought as a high comfort/low noise-biased quality tyre choice to replace very average-performing Pirelli P600's.
The improvements were good and did what was expected. Soft sidewalls were welcome in this instance, although one driver thought the car felt slightly less stable, (can be 'fixed' by raising pressures) - just an illusion really, as grip and control was fine and their resistance to aquaplaning very good for a summer tyre.
A better tyre than the older NCT5, lasted well and not expensive, so good value overall. I now use dedicated summer and winter tyres on a different car, so unlikely to buy again myself, but happy to recommend them as an above-average choice.
