One word summarises these tyres up. Appalling. These tyres came with my car when I first bought it and the day I got rid of them for some Uniroyal RainExpert 3's was probably one of the best days of my life. The Uniroyals transformed the ride quality and handling of my car massively.
Where do I begin? The dry grip was poor and even relatively laid back driving could get them to squeal and lose traction. If you needed to get going at a junction or wanted a good set off, they'd judder and not provide good grip. The wet grip was appalling and even gentle set offs would result in heavy wheel spin and juddering. They provided 0 grip in wet and damp conditions. The handling felt imprecise and sloppy, with the grip levels being poor. I got to 60mph on a straight stretch of road and they felt very unstable! The ride quality was abysmal, making my car feel bumpy on even some of the best roads. They were very noisy as well. The wet and dry braking was poor. My fuel economy was terrible with these tyres on and they had some horribly soft sidewalls so it constantly looked like I had flat tyres, despite even bumping up the pressure slightly above what the manufacturer states. The only positive thing I can bring away is that they wore down at an alright pace, but I wouldn't even debate putting these on even if they lasted forever.
I doubt this tyre is even sold anymore, however if you find some, do avoid them.
