So we want...

Cheap.  But good performance all round
Long life.  But good grip levels
Quiet.  But good feel and stability
Grip. But loads of miles


I'll add my weighting to those parameters...
Cheap     ----\
Long life  ----------  30%  (combined as the 2 basically equal running cost)
Quiet 0%
Stability -----\
Grip ---------------  70%  (combined, no point have grip if it won't go straight when requested)


Others, no doubt, will weight differently, for some, cost is everything, as proven by those poor souls who believe part worns work out cost effective Roll Eyes Tongue

Never said it was cost effective, unless two part worms are all one can afford. Got that t shirt. Dunlops as it happens, and very grateful I was too.  Thumbs Up!
