Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
Car this tyre was fitted on was a 2000 NB MX5 with Teinz coil overs and white line sway bars set to their stiffest setting.
This tire is great, except it's one glaring flaw: once grip is lost it takes longer to regain traction than most if not all tires in its class (dry and wet). i have this on personal experience and accounts from a handful of other people who have a PS71 fitted.
The PS71 is a good Tyre if you get it for a cheap price. I payed $560 Aud for a 205/45/16 set (incl fitting and balancing) with no discount and I have reasonable confidence that no other tyre will come close to the PS71 at this price point or close to it. (the good price does not seem to scale with an increase in size unfortunately)
while you can hustle the PS71 on a twisty road its lower level of grip relative to other options in its class on the market, hesitance to regain grip after it is broken and relatively soft sidewall make it a subpar option to other tyres available in class and certainly to semislicks (where hard street and track driving is concerned). Make no mistake though, these have tires have more than enough grip for driving within the bounds of the law (to get them unstuck you would need to be driving in a manner your local law enforcement would be unimpressed by to say the least)
as for driving feel, it is okay but not great. it feels pretty numb but I am yet to conclude if it is an alignment or tyre issue
If you just want a competent, safe, mostly reliable performance Tyre for daily and spirited driving, this will do it for you. That is until you get into a situation where you loose grip. not to say that it does it to a degree that is dangerous, but when you unintentionally loose traction every moment longer the tyre takes to come back is a moment that could save you, and on this reason alone if you have a Michelin pilot sport, continental MC Tyre, Goodyear eagle f1 available in your size I would strongly suggest paying the premium for those options. If you stay at 8/10ths and below and have ABS I wouldn't as much about the beyond limits grip.
TLDR; If you never flirt with your cars limits, cannot find a better option for your wheel size and/or need just a 'good enough' Tyre to have until you get another set of rims, this tire is a strong contender. however if you hate the idea of a tire that behaves badly past the limits of grip, I would advise looking elsewhere.

Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
I’ve always been a premium tyre guy (Michelin ps4s, Continental PC6) but couldn’t afford a set of premium this time round.
I was pretty disappointed in these initially; they seemed to have no bite in corners and felt very vague.
After a few months of wearing in I can only assume they have some camber wear on them now. The performance of these tyres now is absolutely stunning for the price, easily punching close to PS4s performance. The feedback from them is great but they do ride a little harsh compared to the Conti.

Amazing mid range tyres . Give you amazimg grip especially in the wet. Also a really good looking tyre wall .

I have been driving for over 60 years and have never driven on a tyre as noisy as these are.
Well worth buying as good of not better than premium tyres very good wear on them too!

Decided to leave a review as this very site helped me with tyre choice.
Recently replaced 6 year old P Zeros with PS71’s all round on my Golf GTi 7.5 and what a massive difference. Admittedly the P Zeros were quite old, and starting to crack, but still had minimum 5mm tread.
The ride quality is massively improved. Running exactly the same pressures, the car feels more refined, quieter, and less crashy across road imperfections. Grip levels are improved, especially in the wet, although the P Zeros had clearly gone off.
At £110 fitted per corner for a 225/35/19, I’m very impressed and will certainly buy again if wear rates are good. While I don’t tear about needlessly, I do press on now and then and the PS71’s give me confidence to do so.

Fine at normal speeds in the dry. Absolutely shockingly poor grip in wet or cold conditions. They spun up in 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the winter. One of the worst tyres in the wet I've ever used. They wear fairly slowly. Replaced with Firestone Firehawk that grip exceptionally in the wet. I wouldn't reccomend them to anyone sadly.

I've been closely following Jonathans recommendations for summer tyres, but I'm not always after outright grip. I had the V105 tyres on a GT86 and absolutely loved them for their progressive nature at the limit, and therefore how playful they were.
The V107 feels similar, if a little higher outright grip. Difficult to unstick on the road but perhaps this'll change with a few miles on them.
On track in the dry, these really surprised me, their relatively high grips levels didnt drop off even after 15 minutes - impressive for a road tyre! They also didnt melt, however the central rib of the tyre showed a wedge effect - unclear whether this was lack of camber (2.3deg), or running slightly too high pressure (32hot).
They provide excellent feedback, so you know whats coming - even at moderate road speeds.
They have relatively high noise on the motorways however, so don't expect a comfy touring tyre like the PS4, but the tradeoff is the feedback/communication is better.
They feel similar to the Premium Contact 6 (but grippier, however this could be because they're new), but weirdly , quieter! Loved the PC6 for dynamics (even stiffer sidewall on PC6, says my tyre fitter), but they didnt last so well on track so i'll be sticking with the V107 for a while as a great dual purpose tyre.
Haven't pushed on in the wet yet, but seem fine on the road and inspire confidence.
Would recommend the V107 for those who value feedback and being progressive at the limit! I'll update this as more miles get on them.
