This was the worst tyres I ever purchase. Word of warning NEVER EVER buy this model of tyres, if you value your life or your family, never purchase this tyres. Since my car was turbo R34 GTT skyline, rear wheel drive. This tyres make the car more dangerously to drive. Since I got this, the tyres was so slipper even in dry road make the car traction control system goes crazy. Can you imagine what it would be like in wet condition. I guess what you pay is what you get.

If anyone think about purchasing this tyres all I can say is please think again, you been warned.

My size is 235/45/17. Car weight: 1650kg. Rear wheel drive. Very good value for money tyre. Lasted 65000 KM. Still not reached the TWI. The inside of the tyres were wearing more due to my car's setup, so I had to replace them. During the last 10000km, the tyres became slippery in the wet.
