Star driving those tires more than 4 years and 23500km, it time to change them.
So far i was very happy with them and they did not surprise me in term of handling, etc.
As i live in a tropical country, rubber is shot after 4 years with tire showing cracks on sideway, rolling area, etc. It is common here for all brands (Dunlop, Michelin, Continental, etc.)
When I changed them, the wear was minimal, still not of meat on them. I was quite surprised.
In term of driving quality, over year it decreased:
Handling and breaking were still good but not as good as before
Noise and comfort decreased, mostly due to the rubber becoming harder for to the weather condition.
When I replaced them, i would have taken them again if i didn't have a good deal of some more grippy tires.
I still recommend them as they did a good job in all situation

After 4 years happily using Hankook V12 evo2, i wanted something with improved grip and wet breaking.
The Eagle F1 Sport is a new tire produced were I live, so i decided to try it.
After 2200km, i am not disappointed with my choice, grip is very good and breaking is much better.
Wear seems to be as expected and price for quality is amazing.
I have really nothing to complain about it and i highly recommend it.

I have used Baruns for the last 60,000 miles on an Audi A8 4.2 quattro ,which replaced Dunlops at half the price and have no regrets. Also on a VW golf R32 mk 4 also 4 wheel drive and a Polo 1.6 estate.. None of these cars is driven at the limit and wear, handling and stopping have all been good enough not to warrant comment.. I have had 2 tyres replaced on the Audi for wall collapse admittedly after some severe pot holes but I do wonder if the walls are a weak spot. Will continue to fit Barums where possible.

A comfortable ride slightly noisy on some surfaces. Excellent grip both wet and dry. Covered 60K on last set of Goodyear tyres. Certainly recommend these tyres.

Living in a tropical city with lot of heavy rain storms, I wanted tyres with good handling on the wet and that could last about 20-25,000 km
So far I have not been disappointed:
- Dry handling is great, never lost traction, never felt I reached the limit of the tyres' grip
- Wet handling is very good as long as the volume of water on the road is not excessive. I felt little tendency to aquaplaning when had a fair amount of water on the road (1+ cm) so this is totally expected
- After 2,600 km I can say that the wear is really regular and should last the number of km I planned
- When I fitted them, the car became much more quiet
- Steering wheel respond is good. Of course you cannot ask a car of 1,750 kg to respond like a small sports car but the car always went were I wanted the way I wanted without effort
- Well priced compared to competitors (at least in my region)
All in all, a very good surprise and I highly recommend those tyres
