Key words for the High Performer HS2 195/55 R15 85H on my Peugeot 306 HDI is CHEAP and honest. With this in mind it's a fair tire. I assembled them myself to avoid further troubles as I already experienced several times with jobs done by some "professionals". So properly assembled they work flawlessly. Don't expect high end performance for this price range. But they surely do the job as expected. Dry - quite good. Wet - Honest behavior always with a calm driving style. Never skid them or they skid on me, for that matter. They are matching a set of Federal on the back (now) and are so much better, them the Federal, another cheap brand. Smoother, more quiet/comfortable them their counter part. A heavy front Diesel car put them trough it's paces on tight curves, but they hold without giving you a heart attack. In all honesty the Federal could have been a closer match if they had been assembled properly in the first place. During this use the HS2 showed no signs of wear, but they didn't do so many km's yet. Look pretty new in fact. With new wheels properly matched / assembled. You'll have tires for quite a few kms / miles. No sport driving opinion because I didn't do it. No snow / ice opinion because for that I use winter tires (Michelin).
