I've bought these for my ford focus estate 1.6 tdci 3 years ago. I didnt know much back then and I wouldn't buy these tyres again. The grip in wet is terrible, however it's pretty good in dry and it aquaplanes pretty good. I've done around 40k km on these and I'll probably use them for another 20 so the wear is good.

These came fitted to an Impreza 1.5R they are reasonably quiet and dry grip is acceptable, Gauging wet grip is hard as the car is AWD, they are down to the wear indicators already at less than 20k km. I wouldn't recommend these if you want more life from a tyre.
As a positive they are quiet but with soft sidewalls they are a bit floaty.

The review is about Sportiva SUPER Z+ for all those of you who wonder to buy them or not! Do it!.Awesome tyre with a good price bought them for 50 euro each!The grip is far than good on dry and wet asphalt.Quiet tyre.The only minus is the bord is abit weak and soft and if you drive on a road with holes you have to be more than carefull because they might get damaged.Overall i recomend them if you drive 15/20k km a year and change them every 3/4 years.
