This tire is definitely a good choice for average users, unfortunately, based on my experience and usage, the tire did not perform well. It provides adequate lateral grip on both wet and dry roads, but it spins easily when accelerating and I do not feel confident when braking either. Probably due to the way it was used or a manufacturing defect, the tire started to wear out after the first season. This was the second season I've run it, and I feel like it's time for a change. The tread is now very badly damaged and I don't feel safe. 26.000 km / 16.000 miles

Confidence inspiring tyre. I chose this tire for its exceptional wet handling. Nowadays we didn't see a lot of snow in the winter however (because of high yearly mileage) I didn't want to buy an all season tyre just yet. I made an excellent choice in my opinion for these type of conditions.

Dry grip is as good as any other performance tyre, wet grip is also up there with the other performance tyres.

Bare in mind before you read this review, I had these tires on a 170 HP VW, so I might not have the most fair review... but man these tires rock. I can never break traction in the dry, and almost never do in the wet. Only complaint is they don't last at all.

Nice tire, first year of use is pleasing, wet as well, afterwards it's more for dry weather, in rain you need to be more cautious as they are stable in turns but lack grip in braking and accelerating. After 19000 miles they were with 3-4 mm of tread - I changed it due safety reasons. I recomend tires if you get it as low as I got them - cca 60 € for a pcs.

The tyre has egg shape and no balancing can fix it. I went back to the seller and they send the tyre to the factory for testing and they said its in the normal specification. At 110kmh and more the druving is uncomfortable because the vibrations from tyre. Very disapointed at the factory testing...

Bought them brand new. Good dry and wet grip. They are noisy tires and comfort is kinda worse compared to Pirelli Cinturato P7 which I had before. Overall definitely a good tire.
I'd probably buy them again, even more if they improve noise in the next revision.
