Quiet with a good ride. Grip fine wet and try. Turn in response to steering a little softer than previous Goodyears. Overall perfect for a family SUV.

They were bought as a match for existing tyres, so drove exactly the same. Very good tyre at a competitive price.

A well performing tyre in most situations. Prefer 4 season tyres for extreme winters but these tyres still have lots of life so not changing anytime soon.
