Good grip more comfortable road and quieter than the Dunlops they replaced.
The Bridgestones on the vehicle still had plenty of tread, but they were perishing. It remains to be seen if these last better
They were fitted as standard from the factory and have always kept with the same time I have renewed them. They offer really good grip and performance in all conditions.
I think they're okay for general use but as the car is a sportier package I feel they lack a huge amount in grip even under a relatively light load I wouldn't recommend them for any enthusiastic driving. More for someone who just likes to get from A-B. WIth the benefit of hindsight I would've perhaps swapped my choice of tyre to a dunlop sport max or bridgestone potenza for a more sporty grip.
They are simply brilliant. Very comfortable and plush ride quality, then when you want to drive in a spirited manner, they transform. Steering feel becomes sharper, the cornering super quick, and the road holding staggering. Previous tyres would scramble for traction, these just grip and go. Wet performance is much better too.
