Had these tyres on a clio 182 used for sprints and hillclimbs, they had good grip and were predictable but do require a little warming up, very good handling due to a very stiff sidewall, good grip in the dry and wet for a 1b list tyre but didn’t compare to the a052 in the dry but do last a lot longer.
