Terrible. Sidwall is soft, as are the tread blocks. Initial turn-in is vague, then the tyre wall collapses, and then the tread blocks squirm. Does not give confidence, or road feedback, so you're not feeling connected.
Due to the soft walls the shoulders scrub off in no time, and in fact scrubbing can be seen coming up the tyre wall! Folk overinflate them in an attempt to mitigate the softness, but trying to fix something.
They are after all a budget tyre. Went to a Yokohama AD08 which is staggeringly good
