★★★☆☆

<p>Run these on a 2019 Range Rover SV AUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC 565BHP. after just over one year , the fronts need replaced . Have had the alignment done twice , replaced lower arms too. Great tyres but for longevity, I’d be looking at alternatives . Really heavy feathering , pressures etc checked every month too. Just too soft for the application . I do run these on a panamera turbo too, admittedly doing a lot less miles and they are wearing great . So looks like I’ll be going down the route of the asymmetric 6 for the Range Rover, fingers crossed they wear better .</p><p>Used to run ps4s on my old sdv8 Range Rover and they were fabulous for wear .</p>

★★★★☆

<p>I’ve had both on my Alfa GT FWD, and now I’ve got a fresh set on my Giulia Q2 2.0T.</p><p>In the wet, these tyres are amazing and give you loads of feedback. In the dry, they offer the same great feedback and grip. I’ve even used them on track wet and dry , and they definitely don’t disappoint.</p><p>The only downside is that they don’t retain that level of grip for as long as a proper semi slick would.</p><p>For a high performance tyre in its class, they’re hands down one of the best.</p>

255/45 R21 · 9 737 km
★★★★☆

<p>The overall experience of the SC7 is quite good, but when the temperature drops to around 18 degrees Celsius, coupled with light rain and wet ground, the confidence one feels when driving at high speeds through corners is not very strong.</p>
