Not bad at all, driving a heavily modified diesel with a massive hybrid turbo and a boat load of torque. Likes to spin up tyres no matter what the brand. These tyres are great.

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 Vauxhall Vectra SRI 1.9 (150) drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I have bought 4 AAA P606 summer tyres under £200, They are great budget tyres, Handle well in wet and dry weather ( I have driven them in snow few times as well which they handled all right). Done around 14k miles on them in 4 years and they have had still good amount of thread left, but had to replace them because they started dry rotting. Over all great tyres if you are on the budged with performance of premium tyres, I recommend them and will buy them again.
Now at 2mm tread after 26,000 miles on the front axle of a Vectra 150bhp SRI CTDI. Incredible low wear rate and so fantastic value for money. They were fitted on 5th December 2015; so 2 and 1/2 years from a set with 394nm of torque to deal with. Still capable of hill starts in snow at 2mm tread depth too. Great wet and dry grip and very comfortable too. I would definitely buy these again as the slightly higher cost provides tyres that have lasted more than twice as long as other premium tyres.
I had the tyres on my vectra when bought 8 years ago, the rear are still on it, they have covered about 45k miles and still going, I had 2 sets of different tyres at the front but ended up going back to the michelins, I like their feel, they have decent grip in the dry and the wet and they last a good while.
bought the tyres 2 for the front of my vectra they were a reasonable buy for £44. each but they are now on the limit markers at 8000. miles have had there SV308s and they lasted 15000. miles and still had 2mm legal tread left even though the central of the tyre was balled have had fallen 914s on the front of the same car and they lasted 13000. miles. also GYF1. AS2. that did 15000. Was thinking of putting them on the rear but have changed my mind as they have doubled in price in the last few weeks up to £88. from £44. so will be getting a quality tyre from falken 510. for less money.
Brought these tyres just over 12 months ago, for a vectra 1.8 sri. I noticed the ride comfort noisy and bumpy after a few months.
Vehicle used mainly for motorway mileage. just taken fo MOT. Was shown that the tyres ( both rear tyres) had distorted and both had worn to the cord on the inside, could not spot from looking on the road. Very cheap and nasty. Avoid these tyres if you value your life!!.

Initially bought these as they were on offer. Fitted rear tyres last May, then the 2 front tyres in October. It's now February, and after 8000 miles the rear tyres are down to 3mm. On a FWD Vectra. The front tyres have covered just over 4000 miles and they're now at 4/5mm. Needless to say, I will not be buying them again.
Have it fitted after michelin primacy hp worn - only half price comapare to michelin but same quality.
Travelling up to 130mph on german motorways; great grip and overall quality.
Recommend to any1 who want vg quality for decent price:)

Great. Tyre. in. All Road conditions.... My only problem. with this. Tyre. is the loss of. Tyre pressure fitted at Kwikfit nitrogen filled but. All 4 Tyres lost 6psi. In the first 5. Days. After putting. The tyres back to correct. Pressure. It went back down. But after 2. Month. Of refilling. The tyres .I have. Noticed. that they. Are only. Losing. 1psi. I. Put. This. Down. To the tyres. Not. Holding. On to the. O2. And other. Small. Air particles. In the. Air and that then. Just leaves. The. Nitrogen. In. The. Tyres As. Air. Is. 70+ % nitrogen. The problem. Has. All. But gone. Now. Also. Had. Same problem. On wifes'. Car. Fitted. With. GY efficient. Grip. Performance.. that. Also. Stopped. Going. Down. After. 2. Or. 3. Months. Of. Topin up.. I. Hope. This. Helps. Anyone. Having. Similar. Problems. With. There. Newly. Fitted. Tyres..
300+wet days.. tyres lasted 18.000. 10.on front & 8 on the back They would have done A lot more if the tread had been of equal depth... The outside of the tyre was 2.5 above the legal limit markers but the center 1/3 was totally bald the 2 center groves and half of the V pattern The tyre was A slick at the center.. then an intermediate. Then a wet at all 4. Outer edges .. but It still gripped the road with about 2mm of surface water.. If the tread had been full depth on all of the tyre it would make a lot more sense and an even better buy...
