Like other reviews said, noisy tires, if you live where it frequently rains, avoid this tire. It likes dry roads.

These tyres have turned my car into a death trap in the wet. I do not know how they passed any kind of test in wet conditions. Very dangerous, I have almost crashed several times before changing them with 70% tread left!

Given 60% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDI 140 SLine (245/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 46,000 average miles
The weirdest tyre I have ever driven on, 75000 km of unbridled weirdness. I threw them on in a pinch to pass the NCT (Irish annual test) for the daily. It was my intention to burn through them relatively quickly and change onto a premium brand again. However, they have gotten to a point where they are so hard that all wet weather grip is gone, yet there is still plenty of tread left. When initially put on the front, they had reasonable grip, feeling was a bit spongey and they were noisy but again, I can't fault the dry grip. Braking distances were decent in the dry but you were living on the edge in the rain. No repeatability in how they behaved whatsoever. Feedback and handling were middle of the road for dry, again wet weather was woeful. I would not recommend these to anyone in an EU country with plenty of rain. Wear is a hard one to score, as I said, tens of thousands of kilometres with minimal wear, but I don't think it is a good thing, I'd take half the life and twice the wet weather performance if possible. Don't have them on any car over 100 kW if you want to be safe when driving fast.

Noisy after about 10,000km Rubbish with any moisture on the ground Have decided to chagne after 15,000km due to poor performance

Very good and quality looking tyres. However when I got them fitted with the alloy rims I have for my car, they tend to be really noisy and the noise level is uncomfortable at freeway speed. I wouldn't buy them again
