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
