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.

Rear tyres so impossible to really detect any change in driving performance, especially as we have had no rain!

They're ok. We've had no issues. We don't race and we don't go out in extreme weather, so they're performing as expected.
