"2001 Maxima - Tires are exceptionally good except they bald to quick. My car has only 29,000 miles and already I need tires."

"BMW 530i 2004 - Absolutely the WORST tire for snowy conditions I ever had from BMW. How can you sell a car with these tires int the NorthEast?"

"MB C36 AMG - Very progressive and forgiving tyre. OE on the Ferrari Enzo. Rides more supple than S01s and S02s I've had but not quite as supple as the Michelin Pilot Sport. Wears as fast if not faster than the S02/3s due to less tread (ie less land:sea ratio). Ideal for mixed highway/City use but tread chucks badly on the track at full tread depth."

"Mazda 6 2.3L - Great Tire in the Wet and Dry but tended to lose wet traction after 20,000KM. Reasonable distance out of these tires 35,000KM."

"Toyota Camry 2002 - These are some of the worst tires I have ever had. I bought by Toyota Camry new and these tires came with the car. I only have 26,500 mile on my car and the tires are very bald."

"Lexus 300 es - Tire gives smooth comfortable ride, but wears out too quickly at 28-29,000 miles. At 28,000 failed to hold wet roads "

"Mazda 6 - Striking performance in the wet on my Mazda 6 - very communicative and predictable. Wear is woeful - mine needed replacement after just 18,000km. (Mike Jenkins - are you sure the RE050 is a cheap tyre? You may have the wrong model in mind.)"

"Mazda6 2.3 AWD Estate - Do not use Potenza in snow/ ice conditions. Absolute worse. What's the point of AWD when your tyres can't handle light snow? Really a poor choice by Mazda. Had my first ever accident before New Year. Now just bought Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW3s for peace of mind."

"2004 Honda S2000 - Although I only have 5000 miles on them, I'm not very impressed. Handling on tight corners is average at best, and wet handling is TERRIBLE. I'm dissappointed that Honda would use this kind of tire for the S2000."

"S430 AMG PACKAGE - Treadwear far to quick. Already at looking to replace tires (strictly because of deteriorated treadwear) at 16,500 miles. Cost of tires versus styling bears serious thinking before staying with this tire model. "

"S2000 - 215/45/17 & 245/40/17 - These tires have fantastic grip on the street and did great on the race track. They are maximum performance summer tires for sports cars. Don't expect them to work in the snow, don't buy them for a big luxoboat sedan and expect them to last 50,000 miles. If you want grip then the RE050 is an excellent choice. 15k for the rears and 30k for the fronts is normal wear on the S2000 and many other sports cars."

"Lancer Evolution VIII - 235/45/17 - An excellent all round tyre. As mentioned above, do not expect these to perform in snow and be realistic about the mileage from a performance tyre. 12,000 miles on the 4 wheel drive Evo and they are ready to be replaced, pretty much as expected."

"Infiniti G35 Couple - 225/40-19 (Front) 245/40-19 (Front) - These are OE (Original Equipment) tires with the performance wheel package. My first set had to be replaced after about 10,000 miles - the rears were completely bald and the fronts were bald on the inside edges (still trying to work out if this is an alignment issue)."
