These were a direct replacement for the existing tyres on the car, with the exception that I went down a load rating (from an XL to a non-XL tyre) because I wanted better feedback and roadholding. As a result it rides much better and feels more confident when pushed through corners. Whilst they tend to be rated as a Summer tyre, they seem to displace water well and cope with the worst the British seasons can throw at it.

Theses tyres are wearing evenly and still in great condition with loads of tread left on them and still well balanced - no deterioration in the sidewalls. So still all good - Great tyres, relatively quiet and wear is even - no issues whatsoever! - Very good grip and stability
