I bought these tyres in June 2022 and having only done 6,000 miles since then, the car failed its MOT due to tyres tread being too low. Not impressed at all as I am not a boy racer and other mid-range brands I have had on the car over the last 10 years, lasted for around 20,000 miles. My journey to work involves using country roads with steep inclines and descents, so this brand is clearly not up to the job,- Avoid!

I have a Volvo v50 2.0d 12 months and 13000miles later I am confident enough to say still has 5mm tread left. I rate them above micheand on par with Goodyear Tyres are nitrogen filled and run 2lbs above recommended. I will certainly recommend them and also buy again

Dry grip is much better than the wet grip. The wet grip just below average. Wear is very bad, I just bought the tire about 1,5 month but the tire suddenly just blow-up. Very bad tire.
