Am disappointed in these tyres. They came factory fitted on my new Audi A3 Cabriolet last year, and have survived fewer than 13,000 miles (similar story on Auto Express).
When new they were grippy, quiet and coped well with the ice/snow last year - but at that stage they only had a handful of miles on them.
Not prepared to pay out approx. £120 each every year to replace them.
I suppose it all comes down to what you want most out of the tyre, good grip, low road noise etc. but fast degradation, or if you want a tyre that isn't as high performing, but lasts a decent length of time.
For me, it's more the latter but ideally a combination of both. If these tyre were either in the £80 price bracket, or, lasted 20,000 miles, I would happily buy them again, but unfortunately they are neither.
