I only had the tyres fitted for about 6 months before I sold the car so I can’t really give it a “full” review. However the initial feeling was the tyres felt quite compared to the previous tyre which were a premium brand but can’t remember. As I only do weekend driving I only do normally 3000/4000 miles a year but in the time I had the car I used them in cold and hot conditions and round town and motorways were they felt ok and quite quiet. However if you pushed the car it did under steer but we’re talking a family car no nothing to worry about. Would I buy again yes but not on a sports car

They give the feeling of being very sure footed particularly in the extreme wet weather and driving through floods.

The tyres are good. However their sidewalls are too soft for the recommended pressures for my car. The car recommended pressures on these tyres introduced understeer at all speeds but most noticeable at low speeds. It also made the steering super slow to respond. This was fixed by upping the pressures in my case by 4 psi. The pros of the tyre however is that they feel safe after increasing the pressures; they are quiet; and they look good. I would recommend these tyres if they are on offer.

Ok. Tyre pressure was incorrect on both new front tyres. Both should be 38psi. One was 33 and one was 45psi!

Mpg is around the same and you can physically feel the increase in the rolling resistance. I feel more planted and secure to the road. This is essential for a good safe experience living on country roads in Scotland.
