I got one of these for my E Class Merc , it was a rushed purchase due to needing MOT. I usually put Continentals all over my car. My car is a rear wheel drive car and has a powerful 3.0 engine. In the wet the tyre will not maintain grip and it freaks out the cars computer which will flash , low traction warning, then it can place the car in low boost ( limp home mode) until you stop and restart the car. Tyres on the rear no longer match and that seems to be very bad, also this tyre does not seem to perform well. It seems ok in dry condition's though and cant really complain..

Tyres are not to bad when just driving around town but give them a open road and do not expect much Very low on grip in the rain and in the dry there below par on previous tyres I've owned around the same price Comfort wise they have quite a soft sidewall so gives more of a smoother ride and noise is also low Have done around 5500miles on the tyres and they have not worn much despite being quite a soft tyre
