Brought car 4 months ago from networkQ tyres have lots of tread but ride is a tad firm but road feedback is ok but they are quite noisey on the motorway.Will look at tyre reviews site when I change tyres again.
Tyres were fitted on rear of car when I bought it from a Mercedes dealership. Have driven 11,000 miles on them since February 2017 across all sorts of roads from single track country lanes to motorway. No noticeable problems in the dry and the tread on the tyres is still great. However, in the wet they give no confidence at all with the rear end sliding around when going around a roundabout in particular. Although there seems to be many miles left on them, they are being changed for Continentals tomorrow as I'd rather stay alive! Quote from a private tyre fitting firm I've dealt with for 15 years - 'I wouldn't fit them to a wheelbarrow'. And that was before I told him about the sliding!

Supplied as new during MOT failure but just discovered were already 2 years old when fitted. Outside walls cracked after 1000 miles and 1 year but passed the MOT in 2 stations. Car has been SORN for eight years now they are 10 years old still hold air and support the car but they look very deeply cracked falling apart like I image a re-mold/re-tread might. I would never buy again. Replaced with part worn trusted well known brands as I always do when given the choice for low mileage use.
Always check the tyre date code when you buy a tyre, check it for bulges and side wall damage. Never rely on a retail chain to fit you a good choice of tyre, do some research.

Garbage! Don’t hold a seal, so have to pump tyres up constantly. Wear is shocking. New to used in less than 6 months, average mileage a week. Handling is poor, makes car feel like a boat. Never again!!

Had two of these tyres on the front, nearly binned it going round a roundabout at 15mph. Safe to say I'm buying new tyres ASAP. Do not buy.

Really good tyres from my experience, have had them for a year now and have done about 7000 miles on a mixture of roads, Still have plenty of tread left. Came from Goodyear tyres and struggled to notice the difference. Would definitely buy again and recommend.

Awful tyre. Grip was almost non existent. Rear end of family estate started sliding out on a slow large roundabout and I'm a cautious driver! Wife and family weren't impressed. I've never experienced a tyre this poor, they adversely affect your confidence driving. Had them removed for Sailun Attrezo's (impressive tyres). These are a false economy, steer well clear.

Bought these tyres on alloy rims for my wife's Audi TT three years ago, so conveniently outside the warranty. I replaced the first one in Nov, 2015 and have just replaced the other three due to delaminating of the sidewalls along with significant splits etc. These tyres have done less than 3000 miles. Steer well clear, I think these tyres are dangerous, they may be cheap but not worth the risk.

Bought my car last year from the dealer which came fitted with these tyres on the front.
Firstly the Dry - they are actually not too bad, they provide good traction and not bad grip as long as the weather is above 10 degrees or so. If its colder they start to struggle. Even when out for a nice spirited drive on a sunny day they perform pretty well actually.
Now the Wet - Wow, where do I start. Absolutely useless in the wet. 10MPH and the front end sliding almost into other cars on large open roundabouts is not fun at all. Taking it easy around town pulling away from junctions and roundabouts is shocking. They are even worse than above its its only slightly wet/damp conditions.
Wear - Had them on for 2000 miles and there is still 7mm of tread across both tyres with no visible damage or cracking/splitting at all.
All in all, they are what they are, an Imported summer only tyre that people/garages fit over here for cheapness. Wouldn't ever buy again.
