My Skoda Octovia came with Goodyear Eagle NCT5 91H tyres when new, and now I've gone back to these Goodyear tyres and repalced all four at 56,000km. In the meantime the original front tyres only lasted 36,000 km and I replaced them with economy ones which didn't last as long. So the tyres on the back gave me 56K and there was still plenty of thread on them.
The grip is fine. I drive in rain and sleet on motorways and minor country roads. Surley long wearing tyres means the rubber is harder which gives less grip. Softer tyres offer more grip - I don't believe you can't have it both ways!
