So far so good. I've put close to 500 miles on them they seem to be really quiet, and handle well in the rain. They stretch well, ride quietly, and they are cheap so I have no complaints.
Pros: ride quietly, handle well
Mileage: 805 km
I also put on Vredestein tires b/c factory tires were slipping when I punched it from a dead stop.
Pros: improved grip
Cons: factory tires slipping
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mine actually came with Continental Pro contact tires. However, I did buy it certified pre owned with 24k miles so I'm not sure if the PO changed them before trading. Whichever, this tires are pretty damn good!!! I'm used to buying Falken Ziex performance tires which I have had on all my previous cars but these seem a lot better. Might have to stick with these now....
Pros: pretty damn good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 38624 km
Once you talk about ditching the crap Dunlops that come from the factory and adding a rear sway bar, you are talking big-time fun.
Pros: big-time fun
Cons: crap Dunlops
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
So far (300 miles) I have noticed the following; 1. Bridgestone tires seem to have more wet grip than the Kuhmo's
Pros: more wet grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 482 km
Outperformed my 02 Cooper S at an AutoX event! I'm also talking about in the rain vs other tires I've had. Blows Michelins, Toyos, Pirellis, Goodyears out of the water no pun intended lol. They also seem to handle side/cornering load well. My continentals were cooked after a few track days and spirited drives while these seem fine. No chunking or odd wear patterns on the edge of the tread/sidewall. Any of those who have tracked will know what I'm referring to.
Pros: outperform in rain, handle cornering load well, no odd wear
Vehicle:

Nokians on her FWD CC now. It's a beast in the snow.
Pros: beast in the snow
Vehicle:

The original Dunlops (can't remember exact tire now) on the RX8 were useless below 35 degrees. I couldn't even take off gingerly without the traction control and ESC lights going crazy. But in the warm they were quite good.
Pros: quite good in warm
Cons: useless below 35 degrees
Vehicle:
Mazda
I would not buy Hankook or Kumho again, personally... not for daily-driver tires anyway.
