These were surprisingly decent tires, especially for the price. Dry grip was fine, wet grip was quite good. I never had an issue in the wet for 33K miles (completely worn out at 33K miles). Feedback, progressiveness, noise, all fine. These aren't track/race tires, but they were fine for everyday commuting. I road race motorcycles, so I'm probably more conditioned than most to always be smooth no matter what I'm driving. I was never fearful of conditions while driving on these tires. Never had a failure although a nail puncture did require a plug. I'd definitely buy again. (I may have mistakenly left a similar response for the 918 model thinking I was leaving feedback on the 928 - apologies).

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.
