Bought these to replace the fronts on my wife's car, thinking I should go with a good brand as she has the kids in the car. To be honest, im not overly impressed with them. Grip is fine, I cant fault them there, bu being a people carrier its not driven in a spirited way. Where I do fault them is on wear, its awful, car is setup fine, but these have buffed off on the corners bad and required to be swapped around. On the plus, they are not directional, so you can get away with left to right swap.
In contrast, previously I had an impreza for about 6 years, and that came with Nankang NS2 fitted from the dealer. Thinking initially these would be budget, they just lasted and lasted. The rears I never replaced, and sold with the car 6 years on and 34k later, the fronts only got replaced due to 2 damages to objects, but they would have pushed 20k I think.
So I have paid for Conti's and not impressed, driven budget and been surprised.
