I have found the tyre to have good grip and good handling in all conditions also, they're much quieter than my old tyres on most road surfaces.

Tend to be quite a conservative driver, and would say that these tyres "seem ok".

They feel great and I can feel just as much if not more through the steering wheel as my old brand.

In the first 10 miles I knew I made a mistake putting budget tyres on an EV. now after 2000 miles I am now saving to replace them even though they are hardly worn. 1. they are extremely hard. 2. they rumble anywhere near the speed limit 3. they rumble and vibrate at dual carriage/motorway speeds. 4. they are dangerous in the wet. (break traction at a moments notice) Avoid these tyres..

I’m enjoying the driving feel with the tyres and feel that the grip they offer is very good in normal driving circumstances but can feel a little less self assured in wetter weather. One thing I have noticed is a definite improvement in fuel economy on my regular commute and a lot less road noise.

Unfortunately it has always been wet (good for tyres) but replaced due to slow puncture not tread. Tyre guy gave amazing service

Though I don’t drive much today I found the new tyres gave me confidence cornering & in the wet. All round they are great for me & the price was reasonable for 4 tyres.
