Given 64% while driving a Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
I fitted these tyres around 3000 miles ago after switching from Mitchellins which were unavailable. To date I have had issues with the seal around the rim on 1 tyre which leaked badly on a rim in near perfect condition. The tyres have been balanced twice but after a week or so I get a slight vibration through the steering. The grip is OK but certainly not on par with the Mitchellin tyres I had previously. I will not be fitting these again and will either return to Mitchellin or give Goodyear Eagles a try.

Given 48% while driving a Alfa Romeo (225/55 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
These were OEM fitted on a new Giulietta QV. They are average to good tyres in the dry although they do struggle to handle the QV's 240bhp when really pushing; scrabbling for grip and doing nothing to help the car's slight penchant for understeer. In the wet they border on dangerous. Fine in a straight line but as soon as you hit a corner at much more than about 20mph, you might think you were on sheet ice in a 1970's Vauxhall! With the weather on the turn, I'm seriously thinking about changing these tyres as soon as poss, even though I've only done 5000 miles with them.

Tyres of 4x4 Yeti from new. Surprised lasted so long. Down to 4mm after 36000+ miles. Grip the road like on rails.

Given 47% while driving a Honda Civic Type R (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,000 average miles
Possibly the worst tyres i have ever had on a car. Recently purchased my Type R a few months ago with a set of Pzero Rosso's and now will be changing them before winter. Awful handling in the wet conditions and not the most quiet set of tyres out on the market. The grip in the dry was good, but its what you expect from most tyres these days. Definitely would not buy again.

Given 57% while driving a Volvo XC60 D5 AWD Auto (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 26,000 easy going miles
The worst tyres I had experienced. Grip is OK dry and wet but squeak when going pot holes/ manhole covers particularly in the wet, and terrible tramlining from new. Set as lasted lasted 26000 mile down to 3 mm with 1 front to back swop longer than I thought they would as only had 5.5 mm of tread from new as manufacturers fitment.I am pleased to have got rid of them

Given 60% while driving a Audi A3 quattro (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 20,000 spirited miles
Came as new set of 4 with the car Audi A3 quattro. Done 20k miles and have changed the front 2 due to damage. Put Goodyear efficient grips on which are noticeably quieter and have much better wet grip. Having said that the rear ones still have loads of tread left, but I feel like I'd like them to weAr out so I could get some quieter tyres on.

Given 73% while driving a Porsche 986 Boxster S (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
These tyres were on car when I bought it, old school Boxster - no traction control etc.
They grip well, let you know when they're going to let go and are great fun, comort not a strong point (35 series profile) what do you expect.
Limited tyre choice for Porsche (N series) but for me they're grat and I enjoy them.
Can't comment on wear - only 5k into car, expect 10-15k from rear and 25k from front based on wear when bought to when had to replace.

10000 miles - half worn. But sidewall has given up already. Rubbish tyre oem fitted on a Yeti. No doubt they were cheap!

Given 39% while driving a Mercedes Benz ML (265/45 R20) on a combination of roads for 11 spirited miles
only lasted 11,000miles from new to needing replacement on the wear marks. Noisy and got very noisy after 50% wear. At Pirelli prices I wouldn't buy theses again. Very good dry grip and OK wet grip.

Given 39% while driving a Volvo XC90 D5 (163bhp) (255/50 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 14,000 easy going miles
14000 miles and down to 4mm. I am a carefull driver and can at least double this mileage on a set of tyres and these are ready for changing. already done the front to back change for excessive shoulder wear and now I am getting cracking in the walls. These are OEM fitted and I have had the vehicle from new. Do not touch them with a 10 ft barge pole. As for tram-lining, you would not believe it.

Given 70% while driving a SEAT Leon FR Plus (225/45 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
They were my Leon´s FR OEM tyres. They hay good wear for HP tyres, they have good grip in DRY, but in the WET is a different story, they have average grip in wet. They have good feedback, and they are excellent for high speeds in the DRY. I´ll give the tyres a grade of 8 out of ten. I will change tyres soon, I will try this time the Pirelli P7 cinturatto or the Hankook Ventus V12. Any comment?
