I put the Goodyears on when replacing the OE Yokohamas on my Suzuki Swift Sport. My main concern was whether they would maintain the sporty feel of the car. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Goodyears were on par with the Yokos in the handling dept. The wear on these GYs is fantastic. I still have 2mm to the wear indicators but I'm replacing them due to pothole damage. I'll stick with the Goodyears.
I drive mixed town and motorways, but I'm often at the limit of the tyres in town driving.
Noise levels have remained the same from new.

Very good sporty tire, with decent life span and consistent performance and behavior.
Strengths: Direct steering, brake distance, both hot and cold, handling, responsiveness to inputs. For the tire type, decent level of noise and vibration. Long lasting ~ 25 000km.
Weaknesses: Can be easily overwhelmed on acceleration, on wet roads, some snap loss of grip on bad pavement, tendency to track tarmac irregularities. Sidewall easily damaged on potholes and curbs.
On my second set now.

Amazing tyres for lightweight platform (car weigh under a ton). Cornering ability has improved dramatically, it feels like the car has been fitted with LSD, the harder the car is push into the corner, the more it goes into the corner (OEM tyre, CSC5, would resist and step out). Now the car feel so much more eager to rotate. Astonishingly, the tyre also make the car more settled, I suspect due to stiffer sidewall which let the suspension do its job better. Steering feel has also improved considerably, more granular feeling.
A little bit greasy on the wet but it's ok since the tyre will communicate this through the steering wheel. The noise it generate is of different pitch than OEM, more of a rumble instead of a roar. It will start making considerable noise at 30km/h but strangely doesn't get any noisier.

Not the best tyres to start on a Suzuki Swift Sport. (Zc33s)
Continental in this case really disappointed me with these tyres on this car.
I used them mostly on town road, and sometimes on some mountain passes.
The handling was really good in dry conditions and they were a lot comfortable.
In wet conditions the tyres didn't handle very well, in specific on roundabouts and some turns, they tend to understeer on wet conditions.
I also had a turn on track (Modena Circuit) and the tyres are ready to dump.
Now I have Toyos Tr1 and they are much better (on 16 rims)
Totally a NOT buy.
Specially for the non-economic price.

Brief review with intention to update later.
So I am using these tires on a Suzuki Swift Sport 1.4 ZC33S. Standard tires are CSC5 with size 195/45r17 on the OEM 6.5J width wheel. I upgraded to new wheels with 7.5J width. Suits the car really well by the way.
On to the tires. Only used for 300 KM, of which the last 200 KM were spirited and in ideal conditions (dry and 20 Celsius).
Grip levels have improved in every sense compared to the CSC5 which was at 4-5mm.
Traction coming out of corners is hugely improved. The car is absolutely on rails. The suspension setup probably is the bottleneck now.
The only difference I can notice is that under heavy braking, the car feels different than before. It feels less sharp even though the braking is every bit as good. It is as if you can feel the tire is more pliable and supple. But it could also be because the tire is so new.
Top marks for dry performance so far. I was very happy with the price too.
