Very comfortable tyre, good aquaplaning resistance, quiet. Wear seems good to. The only thing it does very bad is the grip in snow. Absolutely inconsistent, absolutely no traction even with 2 cm. of snow. Keep away from such products.

Tables are ranked by TR Score, which rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and owner reviews weighted by how much evidence backs them. Unscored tyres link to their pages, where a review counts towards a score.

New tyres take time to earn a TR Score - tests have to be run and owner reviews have to arrive. A missing score is a data gap, not a verdict.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
A budget priced tyre, but essentially a re-branded Goodyear Asymmetric 2 by all accounts. Had on for approx 500 miles now, and have to say im quite impressed. Fitted two on the front of my Audi A4 Avant S-line TDI, and they cope pretty well with the mountains of torque this car generates. Handling is as good as the previous Continentals i had on the front, and seem to offer better wet weather grip and braking. I expect that they are a reasonably soft compound based on the high wet grip, so time will tell to see how long they last.

About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
