These tires covered roughly 22,500 miles.
The car is a South Western United States car, so driving in the wet is rather uncommon and therefore not going to be covered very thoroughly in this review.
Dry grip, however, is solid. I do not currently have another tire to compare to, so this will stand as my baseline.
The tire has a very stiff sidewall, which does not offer much in terms of body roll. This does, however, add to road noise and ride stiffness by a fair amount.
Daily driving on this tire is rather unremarkable. It does all that is necessary and nothing more. It's gotten me through the thick of standing water on a freeway in Arizona during monsoon season, so wet grip within limits is good.
The Turbo X is a manual sedan, and by default a rather front heavy car, so the shoulders of this tire wore very quickly during spirited driving. It grips all the way to the limit, and then begins to step out right outside of my comfortable driving pace. I usually lose the rear prior to the front when pushing it to my limits. Understeer is horrendous, but that is more likely due to my driving style.
All in all, a well rounded tire and can't complain about the price.
(Note: this review does not cover snow or ice grip)
