These tyres are still dangerous in cold damp conditions, they behave like budget tyres. I know they’re summer tyres but their prime operating window is so narrow, and the performance falls off a cliff face. They’re so bad I had to get them checked to see if they were fake.

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.

What Renault Austral Full hybrid drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
These tyres are just average in good dry weather, but when it gets cold and mildly damp, they behave like cheap budget tyres and I just lose all confidence in them. They rate really well on paper, but they are absolutely awful. I can’t wait to replace them which at 12k miles it would appear won’t be long.
These tyres are frightening on damp cold roads. Came new with my car and I can’t wait to replace them. They’re good in warm conditions but nothing special, but as soon as it gets cold they behave like budget tyres. I’ve had a lot of summer tyres in my time and none have suffered in the colder British weather like these do.
Performance on damp roads is poor and falls off the cliff edge when it’s cold outside. I appreciate they’re summer tyres but I’ve never had such notable drops in performance in all the summer tyres I’ve ever had on cars. The tyres are good when the weather is warm, but perform like cheap budget tyres when cold and damp and I lose all confidence in them. They came new with the car as standard but I can’t wait to change them out. Really disappointed.
These are slightly quieter than the factory fitted tyres ( Michelin) and notice no difference in dry or wet in summer but noticeable increase in grip and handling in the typical Highlands cold/very wet roads, been a very cold and very wet previous winter and has handled the snowy bits quite well ( not as good as crossclimate 2's in the snow) coming into another winter here in the Highlands, so will see how this winter pans out.
Very pleased with the product and performance and at over £200 cheaper for a full set than the Michelins all seasons, very happy with the tyres.
