Good tyre for the price. The grip felt good in dry but I didn’t push it, road undulations seem to unsettle the tyre. Some wheel spin noted on occasion even when not accelerating with full power. In the wet drove carefully as I didn’t have confidence in the tyre. Drove well around town and motorways. One tyre blew out when I hit a small rock at low speed. Sidewall burst. Overall I wouldn’t buy this tyre again, but if budget is an issue, then yes but would drive more carefully than usual.

I've had these for several months and now changing the rims from 18 to 19 and will buy these again. I have done some high speed driving, sharp high speed cornering, sharp braking, even some burnouts and they handled everything great. They are now half way down but considering my aggressive driving I'm not surprised. From what I see I could still go for one or even two moderate driving seasons. They are a bit slippery on wet but not too much, they still do a great job especially for this price.

2000 miles on a supercharged MX5. Quieter than the previous good year GSD3, wet grip better, dry grip excellent but shoulders a little softer leading to some turn in on hard tight cornering. Buy again...Yes!

I bought these have different size rims front and back rims have 245/40/19 fronts and 275/35/19's rear
Bought the car on the 29/7/13 online flew down to pick it up in cooggee Sydney from QLD
Decided to do a bit of family and sightseeing at the same time
After leaving the sellers home I drove to the nearest service station checked all the fluids and tyre pressures tyre pressures where ridiculously low 26 and 28 psi immediately thought hope the rims aren't to buckled by such low tyre pressures tyres where also nearly bald

I figured they would last from Sydney to Wollongong then to Melbourne then back to QLD
on the way to Melbourne I noticed lots of black clouds and got nervous with the tyres so while my wife was driving I got on the phone and started ringing round see who had these sizes in stock didn't want to wait days for anyone to get them in
one guy had these kin forests in stock
I thought better than the old ones the steering wheel shimmied and shook

Rolled in to Melbourne the guy fitted and balanced them I asked him to put the wheels on the machine first without the tyres so I could see if they where buckled considering the idiotic low pressures run in them for such a low profile tyre

Rims where acceptable tyres fitted problem solved drove back to QLD no problems no shudder in the steering wheel hardly any puling in any direction although the previous owner said he had recently had an alignment couldn't believe anyone would align tyres that far gone

The day after getting back took the car to an alignment specialist only does alignments nothing else its been nearly 3 years since then had one follow-up alignment early this year needed no adjustments

I drive the car fairly hard its my 4th jaguar I have tried to drift it like my old XJR6 but this one has a stupid electronic diff and traction control so no fun there slowed me down a bit suppose that couldn't hurt (LOL)

This car has been driven at very high speeds on concrete motorways and country roads as well as by my wife around town shopping it has been driven in extreme hard rain when everyone was pulling over and stopping I continued to drive at 120KMH car felt fine (Have had cars that did not in this sort of weather)tread wear is excellent I probably will buy new tyres next year regardless of mileage they will be 4 years old by then probably be perished by then
I have done 35,000 k,s with them so far and the look hardly worn If they still make them in this pattern
I will buy them again especially if they are $550au for a full set again

First review posted @ 10,000 k's ... Now, to date, they've travelled 20,000k's, with intensity! (on all road surfaces Australia has to offer) ... cannot fault their reliability, saftey and comfort, especially to what they are subjected to!.. Wear on Front's @ 50% and Rear's @ 65% .. but still, symmetrical on all 4's, and they've maintained their performance since new.
So with prob a million k's covered in 45years of driving, in search of sun n surf, I'll replace tyres with the same on the proviso compounds and tread patterns remain same ...

I had the misfortune of driving a friends car with these tyres attached. If you think these tyres are good you haven't driven on even a basic tyre from a name brand.Horrible grip and response even with correct pressure.

These are for those with even less money than sense.
