Makes for interesting reading and similar posts were made then. Curiously, Australian buyers seemed to be quite happy with these tyres in the above posts too.

I didn't want to start an argument, simply wanted opinions from those who had tried these tyres. From what I can gather, the majority of people who have fitted these tyres to their vehicles seem to be quite 'happy' with the general performance. In my case, I use the X for commuting 800 km's each week, on mostly rough country roads - not concrete interstates (and yes, I have lived in the US for several years, so am familiar with road there). I hope these tyres will suit my needs, from both a performance and cost perspective.
I have a 'performance' vehicle and it's fitted with 'performance' tyres to suit the driving style it demands (or the way I throw it around corners, so be more precise). The X is a commuter and so it is treated accordingly.
I would like to thank everyone for their informed opinions. It's made me happy with my purchase. The wheels with new tyres arrive this week and will be fitted soon. I will post my opinion on these tyres, once they've done say 2000 km's which will probably be within 2-3 weeks.
