Mercedes Benz slk320 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Infinity INF 05 given 36% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 1000 easy going miles
Only rated the wear as 10 because they would be a lot safer if they only lasted a day.
These were on my wifes Mercedes slk 320 when I bought it. She has been driving around in it for 6 months and has complained a couple of times that it doesn't feel right. She is a very cautions driver so there is no girl racer going on here.
Up till this weekend I had only driven it in the dry, ok the tyres aren't good in the dry but they are not bad enough to throw away nearly new tyres so just assumed she wasn't used to the car.
Drove it in the wet this weekend and it scared the life out of me. corners that my Mondeo will take 20mph faster had me grabbing armfulls of opposite lock, the braking is abysmal and they even aquaplaned despite having virtually full tread depth and the water not being deep.
These are being changed tomorrow at a cost of £460 to decent tyres, even though the tread is as new, wife only does 2000 mile a year. Says just about all you need to know about them.

Driving on a combination of roads for 150 spirited miles
Fitted a pair of these to the rear of my RWD slk (I had conti's on previously), in the first 15 miles I encountered damp conditions the back end was all over the place, but once they broke in > 100 miles they were fine in the wet. Ride is not smooth, tramlining is bit of a problem. Got what I paid for but wouldn't buy again as ruining the usual comfortable ride I get from the merc - will go back to premium tyres.
