These tyres were unfortunately fitted by a dealer when I bought a BMW 530D from them......
They are simply abysmal! In the dry they are ok ish (but most any tyre would give some dry grip), however, in the wet, they are totally unpredictable,with no feedback, the only thing you can safely predict is that the wheels will spin incessantly (traction control or not)- and any corners have to be taken with a good deal of trepidation. In the hands of an inexperienced driver I fear that any car would soon be proceeding (probably sideways) towards the scene of a nasty accident. Incidentally, the noise from these tyres is a constant reminder that they are total CRAP.
I cannot imagine that there could be a worse tyre on sale. It certainly seems that you pay for what you get with tyres, so do like I'm doing, and get a proper, branded set of tyres fitted before it's too late!
