Skoda Fabia estate 1.2 110 DSG

Had these tyres fitted since the car was new, for the first 10,000 miles, they were flawless, excellent grip in both wet and dry, road handling was top notch, road noise was acceptable, however beyond 10K miles, they started to "go off", not as predictable in the wet, wet cornering became a bit more precarious.
After 15K, in the wet, ABS kicks in with moderate braking and pulling away at the lights, TCS comes on even with 1/2 throttle (they're on a 108BHP car), as for wet cornering, well, good luck.
This brings me to the noise, sub 10K they were ok, above 10K.......oh the noise....if you're going down any old/concrete roads, bring some ear plugs, you'll need them.
Summary: in my opinion, these tyres were great for the first 10K miles (some drivers they might last a year or more, other drivers it will be less).
10-15K miles they wear and harden up FAST, be warned, 15K plus miles they are very bad in the wet and only OK in the dry.
I am replacing the ones I have with some Avon ZV7s, I hear they're much better all round, last longer and excellent value for their money.

Quite good in the dry, scary in wet. After a year (20,000k) they dried and the abs kept working even on low speed braking. I put the fronts back and the backs in front to no avail. They produced an annoying noise particularly over bad quality asphalt. Definitely I would not buy them again.

The best tires for everyday use.
Good performance on dry and wet surfaces, excellent handling. A bit noisy on the large asphalt.
A rigid sidewall allows you to go on track days, time is not the best, but you can go.
The next step is POTENZA.

Volkswagen Golf 7 TDI

Bridgestone Er300 came on my Mk7 VW Golf from new. I have changed the front tyres st 30 & 52k miles (each time with Bridgestone Er300's) and changed the rear tyres at 54k miles with 3mm grip left. A great all round tyre which never gives any unwelcome surprises in either wet or dry driving conditions. Wouldn't use anything else.

the best tyres ever fitted in this car.they last easily 80k km.excellent in wet and very informative. in dry give all the information you need to feel safe even when you ride fast. not very comfortable but i care more for safety and lifespan. i have used also continental sportcontact2.extremelly dissapointed from continentals. good in wet,awful in dry as always abs is on in hard braking. their lifespan was also disapointed.they lasted 50k kms. i will definatelly buy again the er300 and not continentals.

Had a full set fitted to my BMW 320D at Costco in Derby rode pretty well but, they only lasted for 16,000 and were nearly bald then. Worst tyres for wear ever, I've now gone for Michelin cross climate. will keep you informed
