I am a peaceful driver who has never pushed my tyres anywhere close to their limits. I have no issues with any tyre I have driven on. I have no issues with this one other than cost.

They performed very well but were only purchased to replace the well worn rear tyres on the car. I have now sold the car so can no longer comment during the latest poor weather.
