These seem to be very cheap on black circles, has anyone tried them yet?

Good review here vs the 3's

 

 

I've got them on my estate (elegance 1.6 trim level), had them fitted mid-August.

 

Went from some Black Lion tyres that were on the car when I purchased it.

 

Obviously, I've not got VRS levels of power, however for my needs they offer good levels of grip in the dry (I can just about break traction in the wet when pulling away, although cornering once up to speed offers good grip). They're economical, comfortable, I'm fairly sure cabin noise is somewhat down since fitting. That's on 17 Inch rims.

Have them as summer tyres on 17 inch alloys.  Have had the asymetric 3's and 5's, both good tyres and I am happy to buy them.

 

These are next on my list once my Asymmetric 3s are done. Meant to be an improvement, although I note officially fuel consumption is worse and noise higher. Anyone moved from 3s to 5s and noticed either?

I have the 5's in 225/40/18

 

nice ride

sharp handling

good grip

higher than average cabin noise is the only downside

 

 

marked improvement over the Bridgestone Potenza's the car came with (awful tyre)

I’ve run with the F1’s on my last car and they were quiet, grippy especially in the wet and smoothed the ride. I’m running Dunlop Sport RT max at the moment,so we’ll see how these perform

I'd be interested to know how you rate the Goodyear and Dunlop tyres now you've had a while driving on the Dunlops?
