These tires have been pleasantly impressed. I thought they were not going to reach the level of the PS4 but they surpass them with a high note since they behave much better in the rain. I have also noticed a lot of improvement in hard or emergency braking, they make the vehicle stay firm and safe.
Regarding wear, I do not know how much they will age but at the moment with 9,000km they remain very intact.

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 SEAT Exeo ST drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I bought these tyres after watching a test by Tyre Reviews, to replace both my previous winter and summer set ups so I don't need to change and store wheels, and they have not disappointed. To me they feel like a winter tyre that has been adapted to work in summer, with a slightly soft, but comfortable and quiet feel in the dry. In the wet they gave me plenty of confidence that I had enough grip, even when worn, and resisted aquaplaning well in downpours. I was most surprised with their performance in the snow however, which was nearly on par with my old winter Nokians in deep snow, which was highlighted as I easily drove around a stuck Insignia estate (similar type of car to my Exeo ST, and yes I did help push!) in a snowy carpark in the Cairngorms, more importantly braking was predictable in snow / slush conditions. I had the tyres on the car for approx. 49,000 miles, and they still had 3mm tread left when I changed them due to slight vibration / possible slow puncture / leaking valve. I was so impressed with the Vector 4Season Gen 2, that I went for the 4Season Gen 3 as their replacement.
Have a set of these on a Seat Exeo 2.0 TDi re-mapped to 184BHP. Wheel spins in the wet pulling out of concealed juntions as do all tyres since the remap, but the grip is good overall both wet and dry. £180 a set so four tyres for the price of two!
9000 Miles and it's time to rotate back/front.... but even if I don't it;s only £90 for two new ones fitted. These are great VFM and worth a try as they might not work well on all vehicles, these worked for me though on my SEAT similar to A4. Verry Happy,
Had a pair fitted to the front of my Exeo. Always gone for cheap tyres as I mainly trundle up and down the motorway, but these cannot be recommended. Initially thought they were fine, but less than 6 months later, loads and loads of tread left and the side walls have given up. Been to have balancing checked today and told both tyres need replacing due to side walls on inside. Tyres are at recommended pressure, but tyre company blaming low pressure! Never had this issue before, and tyre company not interested. Won't be using this tyre company again, and will never touch AAA tyres on any vehicle! Waste of cash.
I bought my car with 2 of these already fitted. I had a lot of steering vibration and one was loosing air so I visited my local tyre dealer who found that the inner sidewall had de-laminated on the inside. He replaced the tyre with a brand new one of the same make and model, Three A P606.
Fast forward 3 months and I had similar steering vibration issues. My tyre dealer checked the remaining Three A that was on the car when I bought it and found that this also was suffering with inner sidewall de-lamination. He then checked the recent Three A tyre that he fitted and found that this also was suffering from the same defect. He replaced this tyre FOC.
The car was mainly used for long motorway driving, the tyres were never abused and regularly check for correct pressure. I could expect the odd one being defect, but 3??? From different batches??? I've read others comment on the overly soft sidewalls of this tyre, maybe this is a contributing factor.
This experience has put me off budget tyres completely, especially this brand. Avoid!

Brilliant! Best tyres I've ever bought. Both wet and dry grip is superb, even now the fronts are down to 3mm. The wear rate is good too. 16k miles from the front set and the rears are still on 6mm. Ive just ordered another two for the front. I do a combination of motorway and country roads (quickly when circumstances allow) in all weathers and I have not had cause to worry about the performance of these Avons at any time. They obviously suit my SEAT Exeo ST TDI 170 CR Sport Tech with its 170 bhp turbo diesel and stiff suspension. AND they are made in the UK! Whats not to like?
Adhère bien et tenue de route sûre dans les deux conditions humides et sèches.
Le meilleur des cinq ensembles de pneus montés sur cette voiture en trois ans en ce qui concerne l'usure (Bridgestone Potenza, Pirelli Zero Rosso, Michelin Primacy, Vredstein Ultrac Vorti). Les Eagles ont fait 20k miles à l'avant - aucun des autres a dépassé 14K. Pilotés en grande partie fait sur des routes médiocres de campagne. Aucun dommage observé. Un pneu avec de bonnes propriétés générales et une usure bien meilleure en réalité que les autres. Je passerai à nouveau commande du nouveau Eagle 3dans l'espoir qu'ils sont aussi bons sinon meilleurs.

Good performance tyre that grips well in all conditions but they only lasted 14000 miles on the back of my front wheel drive car. This can't be down to misalignment as the car was put on a Hunter machine as soon as they were fitted. The previous rear tyres were the original Conti SportContact 2 and they lasted 4 years and 40k. I rarely carry passengers and the boot is empty 99% of the time. My car is pretty much an Audi A4 Avant B7 so if you have one of these or anything heavier, avoid them as they are far too soft.
Good effective tyres on twisty roads and often wet conditions. However a lot of wear by 9000 miles. This requires gentle driving and a loss in confidence in the tyres for their remaining 3000 miles before replacement. Is it too much to expect a combination of good driving characteristics and reasonable wear rate in one tyre?
These tyres just don't work well with my car at all. They were on it when I bought it 2nd hand. In the dry they're OK. but in the wet they are very poor, the front wants to run wide, and using any throttle at all makes the nose plough on as the tyre loses grip. They are noisy and make the front end tramline badly (Alignment checked & re-checked). I can't recommend these tyres at all - I hope they were very cheap as they feel it.
