★★★★☆

<p>Drives quite well, haven't got a lot of others to compare with. Can be a bit finicky in wet conditions in a front wheel drive car under acceleration.
Noise is OK, can be a bit sensitive in the morning after standing all night long where it feels like they have flat spots (pressure is 34 psi on all four), but after some driving that disappears completely.</p>

SEAT Leon FR Plus · 225/45 R17 · 48 280 km
★★★☆☆

I got them on the front tires with my second hand Seat Leon Mk4, almost new when i got the car ~90%. Ok tires, didnt have any trouble in the dry either the wet, although tires wanted to spin at some specific roundabouts when i wanted to launch somewhat quick. Ok handling and comfort, squishy sidewall that didn't like rapid direction changes. Lasted ~30.000km but the noise they developed at the last ~15.000 was really horrendous, lots of road noise on certain roads. They developed a slight imbalance at the last ~10.000km, but nothing extraordinary, i waited until they weared out to change them. I changed them for a set of Pirelli P7C2, first impressions Pirelli's are a lot better in road noise and handling.
