Coming from a set of Bridgestone WeatherPeaks, the dry grip on these tires is leagues better. Honestly, better than some all-season tires that I've driven on. It is fairly easy to tell when you are on the limit of grip, and they maintain stability once you reach the limit. The tires are quite soft, so the steering is mildly vague, but for freeway cruising, they do the job well enough. Wet grip is also great, although I haven't fully tested these tires to the limit in rainy conditions. Road noise is slightly higher than I would like, as is rolling resistance, these tires return worse fuel economy. I have yet to test them in snowy conditions. Considering I have only driven 8000 miles, they are wearing moderately quickly, but plenty of those miles included carving corners and spirited driving. I would expect to get somewhere in the realm of 30-35K miles out of a set. Overall, considering the deal I got on these tires, I would definitely buy them again.

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.
