Front tyre threads were worn out within a year (~17.5k km)! After the threads were worn, all performance aspects, particularly dry grip, seemed worse. Do not think this has anything to do with my vehicle (Toyota Sienta ‘16) or my driving style (pretty normal, not aggressive).

What drivers say about their 180/60 R15 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
The dry grip is good, in the wet the tyre can let go quite quickly. The main issue is that all 4 tyres developed tiny cracks on the edges after just over 2 years and 15k miles. The front two were really bad so it was MOT failure. So with 5mm front/6mm rear they had to be replaced.
Not a good tyre wet handling is very poor prev michalin energy lasted alot longer keep well away
