Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Imperial All Season Driver belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

★★★★☆

Good tyres for the money. Dry grip is decent but you will find the limits quickly, wet grip is not the best but that's not what these tyres are about!
I didn't get to test them on snow but we did get icy roads with temps s low as -10 and that's were these tyre really came to life. While other cars struggled with the slippery conditions I was able to just sail by. I would definitely but them again

On my third set of Imps on three different cars. First set were changed from Michelin Crossclimates (225/45 17s) and hardly any difference between them - no way enough to justify Michelin's silly prices. Grippy and last really well.

after 30,000 km 2 of 4 tires (28/19) lost geometry - became oval !!! 90% motorway, average speed 110 km / h
