Excellent tyres for wet roads - no slipping when accelerating / overtaking / cornering, or when hitting unseen standing water, or more generally, bouncing around on poorly-surfaced potholed roads - so well-suited to driving in England this Summer... Also grip well in the dry, and they're quiet at lower speeds - very important for a convertible which came with large, wide alloys and rubber-band tyres. Am also achieving more miles per gallon - never seen 33 mpg previously (30 was the best) - so as nothing else has changed, the new tyres' construction/composition must be responsible. Plus, they were attractively priced.

Have only driven 1,500 miles so far, but pleased that I took a gamble on tyres with barely any reviews available. These are certainly better than previous Toyo Proxes or Falkens, and seem to be more in line with the parent Bridgestone's tyre designs (mine are made in Poland, not Italy as the website suggests). I've long preferred Japanese tyre designs for their combination of grip, comfort and quietness, although they tend to wear down faster, after disappointing experiences with the main Italian and German offerings.

Travelled around 7000km with these tires now, they are really great. Excellent properties in the wet while also quiet and grippy in dry. Good rim protection, appealing tread pattern. No negative aspects so far.

I bought these to replace Avon tyres that had cracked too much after 18 months and I'm impressed so much I went the next week and got same but in 275/35 fitted to the rear, wet grip is excellent, pretty much feels dry.
I live in Scotland so wet grip is the most important performance to myself as in the dry most tyres perform similar, I certainly don't have the ability to explore the limits safely.
Very quite tyre and my mpg increased.
They don't tramline nowhere near as much as my last tyres did.
I've not had them long enough to review wear but so far highly recommended.
