All good in terms of grip etc but absolutely abysmal in terms of noise.
As soon as I drove off after having them fitted, I thought my front wheel bearings had gone, THAT'S how noisy they are.
As soon as I can afford it, I'm having them taken off for something quieter.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Rover 75 auto drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
These came as part of a value choice at a well known online tyre retailers. I went for these because they were cheap and had a reasonable rating, but I found I really had to take it easy on wet roundabouts or corners. Felt like there was no safety margin with these and one wrong move and it was all over.
Great tyre only lasted 16,000 miles , on my Rover 75 & i dont drive hard (pensioner) . Yes ! tracking was perfect and pressures correct & checked cold once a month or before any long journey . Pity about about they wore out so fast , were a great tyre otherwise .
These tyres were ok in the wet and dry.
The noise though, was totally unacceptable, turned my normally quite car into a rumble strip. Changed them after less than 1000 mile. I just could not put up with the noise.

Great tyres for rural areas where snow, ice, tractor mud, floods and bending roads are met each year. Good on motorways too with good life, perhaps not as much as a Michelin but far better grip when you need it.
Very good grip in the wet and the dry. Good precise responsiveness, particularly on corners. Wear is good, but not the best I have ever had. Braking performance is excellent.
made the mistake of changing all four tyres at same time, after fitting the noise is incessant and sounds like my bearings have gone, the ride is so hard i had to check that my suspension was in good order as it feels like shock absorbers are shot at but the car is in good order i would not endorse these tyres and will be changing back to my original brand of tyres which gave me no problems at all maxxis
My car came fitted with a brand new set - I expected to have to change them quite soon but 2 years plus on they seem quite reasonable - I have done approx 9000 miles on them. I do find them quite a noisy tyre though
I've had a full set of these for two years on my Rover 75 2.0CDT SE Tourer Auto and have been satisfied with them in all respects. I drive in NE Scotland so not many roundabouts or motorways, but have still been great on long trips south acheiving 22,000 miles to date, but need replacing before the snow sets in. Tow a trailer and caravan at times and often have heavy tool boxes in the boot and the wear is fairly uniform. I like the chine on the side wall that protects the alloys from knocks. Bit expensive.
I was impressed with the first set so I bought another pair for the front and have lived up to my expectations.
