Just wondering if anyone's had these for a while on their car?

Just got 2 put on the BMW (205/45 R16 W) and so far first impressions is a stiff tyres with surprisingly good grip in the dry, the tread is directional and quite deep.

Tyre Test (collection of owner reviews) don't really seem to rate them unfortunately

Average based on 198 test results
Score: 1-Excellent 6-Poor Ø2.7
Grip in dry conditions 1.8
Breaking in dry conditions 1.9
Grip in wet conditions 3.0
Braking in wet conditions 3.0
Grip in snow 4.1
Driving comfort 2.5
Internal noise level 2.7
Exterior noise levels 2.8
Tyre wear 2.7
Kilometres driven 15.247

The average there is 2.7, the average for performers like the Eagle F1/Pilot Sports e.t.c are normally nearer 2.

Main problem appears to be the wet condition grip/braking, as the snow grip is normally rated quite poorly.

However some tyres do perform differently on varying setups/cars.

I and many others would swear blind that P6000's are the devil incarnate and a lesser majority tend to think they are ok.
