Fitted to BMW 120d e82. Car is 230bhp remapped and rwd.
Use to drive ventus primes tyres and the difference is very noticeable. The accelera has no grip, the car spins its wheels in 3rd when before, the car did not spin at all. Wet weather is very unstable. The car use to glide in the rain and feel in control at 160km/h easy, now it feels dangerous at 100km/hr.
Driving on country roads is also hairy. Any bump in the road will throw the balance out and the tyres are unpredictable. Sometimes it understeers, other times it oversteer. You cannot feel the car like with the higher tier tyre. Would be fine on a city car not doing long motorway mikes or fast country roads and on a small city car with no power, however in the BMW it’s a definite no go. Will be switching back to a premium tyres asap
