It’s hard to review the tyres fully as we’ve come to realise our cars wear on tyres is particularly high and therefore are now in a position where by we need to buy another brand for comparison of wear rates.

These tyres were fitted to my VW Scirocco R from new, they provide outstanding grip and stability in all conditions. There may be better tyres available, but I cannot fault these tyres which are perfectly suited to my car, so there is no reason to try anything else.

They lasted 6 months which I was deeply unhappy with. Moved to Michelin 4s which have been much better all round. - Bit soft for living in the highlands of Scotland so I think I will change to Michelin’s from Black Circles next time. Price online looks good.
