Awful howling cavity noise at around 200hz on anything but the smoothest of roads. I've driven other lower profile tires which were a lot quieter than these. Otherwise an ok performance tire.

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 SEAT Cupra Born drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Although it has really good grip, it takes a lot of temperature to get that grip on dry roads.
On the other hand the wet grip is grate even when cold.
In both conditions it is very predictable when up to temperature witch gives a lot of confidence when pushing it on fun back roads.
Unfortunately they degrade very fast, thus far I have been driving them for about 800km and there is only about 3mm of tread depth left from the 7.5mm when new.
Overall it's a fun tire with alot of feedback, but I would not recommend it unless you want to buy new ones every summer.

While the dry grip left a little bit to desire, it is a wonderful and well-rounded tire in snow and icey conditions.
The feeling you get in slippy conditions was a very linear feeling that give you the confidence that you know exactly when you will step over the line. When you finally step over the line, you hav a very easy time regaining grip again due to the linear grip.
