They do the job without any fuss or drama. Steering, braking, comfort all fine. Slightly different road noise (they *are* fitted to my electric van so I can hear these sounds easily) but not annoying at all. Wear is hard to gauge as yet but I can't tell there's much after a year. Economy is outstanding now, I used to get around 4.3 miles/kWh, I now get between 5 and 5.7, a minimum of a 16% increase in range! Wow!
Like driving on ice....
Worst tires I have ever had fitted to a car. These replaced Michelin PS4 SUVs that I was running on my 2020 VW Allspace and were recommended by the tyre shop as PS5s weren't available at the time. While these are ok in the dry, they are like driving on ice skates in the wet. At this rate, Id rather run the Hankook Evos that my Allspace was originally fitted with. Fit these at your peril is all I can say.

Very pleased with performance in heavy rain, better ride than previous Bridgestones. About 6mm left after a year, so be good for 20k on our BMWi3.
Good all round but easily overcome by my electric car’s torque in damp or very wet conditions.
Have lots grip and 8 mpg more than before on long run
So far so good
I've had these tyres on a week and I've been quite impressed with them. They're quiet and grippy. Only thing is the sidewall is a little firmer than what I'm used to so I can feel a few of the bumps transferred to the car a bit more than my previous Pilot 4's.
Great tyres very happy with the choice I made
I like the fact they are a premium tyre specifically made for an EV
Excellent overall performance.
Good overall performance with low road noise.
