I've had cheap tyres on the old fiat that were fine in a straight line but the minute it was cold and damp - not even wet - they would let go with very little warning and wash out when cornering.
You'll find that actual full tyre tests carried out don't tend to correlate to the EU labels well at all.
The Auto Express tests seemed to be fairly comprehensive when I was looking for tyres last year.
