At first when I read review thru online it seem pretty good for the tyre, then I give it a try for this tyres but pretty upset wet grip it's horrible like sliding scary asf. On dry road pretty average, I use it for temporary then will switch it to yokohama v601.

Driven 25000km's (15.000miles) on these tyres so far and the first thing you notice is how good the tyre is on wear. They still have more than half of the thread left on all 4 tyres.

They're pretty good in the rain, car feels stable but with standing water, it feels a bit like the car is floating.

Dry grip isn't bad, long corners are no problem for these, but under rapid and continuous direction changes, the tyres start to show their limit. But this isn't a sports tyre anyway..

A major downside for me is noise. At halfway through their life there is a very consistent noise (that might also be because the car is very silent). Almost as loud as the Bridgestone winter tyres.

I'm probably gonna switch to Yokohama Bluearth ES32 when these are worn, but i do recommend the E51 for drivers that seek comfort and longlivety from their tyres.

These were fitted as standard on a new Lexus NX 300H. They are exceptionally noisy on most road surfaces and seem to invoke a high frequency vibration throughout the vehicle which makes it create a noise like one of the vehicles windows is a tiny bit ajar. On some motorways at 70 mph its almost impossible to hold a conversation with a passenger because of the high cabin noise.
