What owners say
Very comfortable, silent and safe tyre.It's a good option for those who have a quite ride.
Good budget tire, but very poor wet traction, even with a 90hp car.
Great summer tires:
- Amazing quality/price ratio when bought in 2021
- Excellent on dry roads: good lateral grip, short braking distance
- Good comfort/handling balance: good steering feedback, predictable handling, handle well rough roads as well as highways
- Decent lifespan : 32'000km
- Average good on wet roads: good lateral grip when new, hydroplaning can happen below 3mm of tread, poor grip on cold wet roads around 3-5°C, when you'd normally switch to winter tires
- Quiet when new and got a little noisy after a year and 6'000km
- Cope decently well with the heat, they can do 15~20km on a race track before handling gets sloppy. Handling when hot is still safe and gets back to normal once cooled down. There's no way to overheat them on open roads.
If you say that it is sufficient for average use, I am neither calm nor aggressive, I have a use that is exactly in the middle, this tire will impress you. I have used it for 2 years and 8 months and 33,000 km and the cracks on the sidewalls have occurred excessively. The service life is short. The excellent dry ground braking performance that was in the beginning drops to average. After the tire wears a little, the road holding is ideal and there is no visible loss of grip after wear. Would I recommend it? Yes, I actually do. But for those who do not care about the life of the tire and say that quick wear and cracking on the sidewalls is not a problem and I constantly buy new tires, I recommend it. However, it is not suitable for those who want the tire to provide full performance and durability for a long time, because the performance and service life of the tire wears out quickly in a short time.
Great bang for a buck, these affordable tires are very good on dry roads, and acceptable on wet roads. Noise is acceptable.
