I really like these tyres for the colder months. I use them as a winter tyre and switch to summer tyres above 6 degrees C. They are much better than the Michelin Cross Climate fitted to my other car. In the wet they are also better than my summer tyre Toyo TR1.That surprised me! I will buy these again unless something better is produced at the same price. They're great value.

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 Thalia 1.416V drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
This was my second summer with this tyre (20,000km/12.500 miles) and I am just trying to wear them out, so I can replace them. It was a dry summer, atypical for Hungary, so the inadequacies in the wet were not exposed too often. However, even a damp road causes embarrassing wheel-spin (only 72kW/98BHP) at traffic lights and squealing tyres on familiar sharp corners, taken enthusiastically. No such problem with my all-season Hankook 4S2 tyres, which are used only for winter.
As an update, I can confirm that these are not great tyres. With another 10000km, I wish they would wear out faster. I'll sell the car soon, with them still only half-worn. They are far from the worst tyre but I am underwhelmed.
I was surprised that such a well-priced all-season tyre could be so good in the wet. Much better in the wet (traction, braking and handling) than my summer Toyo TR1 tyre and nearly as good in the dry. We don't get much snow here (Hungary), ice and rain are more common, especially the latter. Hence I opted for all-season for winter driving BUT they work well enough in snow, which also surprised me. I was tempted to use them all year around but for the extreme summer heat. Coming from down-under, I was unprepared for the continental climate extremes. I obviously need better summer tyres but I will be getting new Hankook 4S2s when the time comes to replace them. I've done about 15,000km so far. I am about to bolt the winter rims back on this weekend (late October) and I still have 5-6mm of tread left. I'm looking forward to improved grip in the wet, especially.
