Have these on a Liberty wagon with coilovers and it gets driven hard. Excellent grip wet or dry. Bit vague on turn in but still reluctant to slide at all. Wear is ok considering the level of grip. Comfort is reasonable even with super hard suspension.

Good solid tyres that pull up well in the dry and wet, reduced aquaplaning over Dunlop Triplemaxx 2's. Little bit noisy on highways .

Went from crappy Toyota dealer Ovations which were loud and wore out quick. To Dunlop’s so so quiet, amazing comfort and steering is a lot better. Dunlop did a good job.

Tyres are great for the price, really good cornering traction, quite comfortable ride and have a good look to them, not the best tyres I have had in the wet bit more than sufficient grip. I drive ~120 odd kms per day along a winding, rough country highway and can’t recall ever having a loss of traction even when I have been pushing the tyres to the limit, I always feel stable and love going taking the car up the mountain with them, pretty good for those twisty roads, again for being towards the mid price.

For the price these are great tyres. I suspect if you had an unmodified car, these tyres would be an excellent choice with a really good wear rate. They lasted 5k longer than my previous RE003's so I'm am very happy with the tyres. You wont be disappointed if you purchase these.

I've been driving on the FM800s for just about 40,000km now. I was initially mildly sceptical how a mild performance tyre would go with road noise and treadwear, howeber so far they have been excellent in both fields. Still plenty of tread life left. Performance as they have worn has been excellent. So far no loss in grip and braking capability dry or wet. They are miles above the previous tyres on the car and have certainly provided security with some hard stops that many other tyres couldn't. All in all I think they have been a great investment in my safety and comfort, while providing satisfactory sport type performance. I would definitely reccomend them to someone looking for a long lasting, comfortable and mildly sporty tyre.

Got FM800 due to good price (price beat) and non availability of SP Sport 300E tyres and i was told these were replaced by FM800. I expected a good mileage but after 35,000 kms i was told while doing a balance & rotation that the tyres are getting low & should be changed. I was shocked as the previous tyres lasted for over 70,000 kms and this was just half the life. I still continued with city driving & eventually got over 60,000 kms before they were non-road worthy so got value for money in one sense but with the risk of safety. Will not buy them again as they didnt perform well. Would rather look for a brand which guarantees 50,000 kms!

The tyres have performed well on standard steel wheels on my XR6 which has driven 50,000km in the past year.Tread wear has been fairly even across the tyre, with more noticeable wear on the outside. No issues with skidding or losing grip in all conditions.
