I've a rear wheel drive V6 and these tyres are average in the dry and a complete waste in the wet.
They came already fitted to the car, so thought I'd give them a go. Jut ordered some Pirelli as I'm so unimpressed.
They don't age well, they have gone a dull rubber look after only a couple of months (about 3000 miles), so they spoil the look of the car. (yes I clean and detail).
In the dry, they're ok. Not great, but ok.
In the wet they're a complete nightmare. Having a torque'y rear wheel drive car means you have to slow right down. I have to go slower than 1 litre Micra exiting a roundabout, they offer no grip at all on a damp road. The traction control light is constantly on, even when in safe mode.
these tyres would suit a company car on a commuter route. They'll do the job at a great price, so for those drivers and aspects I would recommend.
For a car with any grunt or even any rear wheel drive car I would avoid like the plague in the UK. They're not for twisty roads, roundabouts or even a hint of moisture
