Really can't fault these tyres. They might have been out for ages now but they still rate very highly in media reviews. They are OE on my very rare Vauxhall Insignia B GSi & were used to develop its handling on the Nurburgring & other proving grounds. Fantastic grip in the wet or dry, predictable losx of traction when pushed, plus excellent longevity. The car only has 300bhp & 4WD as & when needed but, it spends most of its time as FWD unless the car feels the need for rear traction. E.g. pulling tighter out of a corner under power etc. On other "cheaper" UHP tyres I would have the fronts down to the legal limit in anything from 5k-7k miles. Now it's around 10k.

Exceptional grip and feel on both wet and dry surfaces. I have been a Conti Contact Sport fan through at least 4 sets of hard driving but these are a step up again - albeit at higher cost. (Cars: 280 bhp Audi A6 diesel Le Mans edition and now 320+ Audi S3)
