I bought these tyres 5 years ago. From the very first day it was a bit of disappointment, compared to my previous tyres (Goodyear excellence). The grip in both dry and wet conditions was not as good as the previous tyres, the wheels were spinning at the start even in the slightest hill, the breaking was making me nervous whenever I needed an emergency stop, gliding for several meters even at very low speeds, and rarely I had a sensation of sliding during turning, especially on wet conditions, or poor quality of tarmac.
I was very satisfied though by its fuel consumption and its wear... Its performance didn't drop much during these 5 years (60000 km), although it wasn't very good in the first place.
I would not recommend this tyre to anyone, except maybe someone who drives very carefully, in a very safe road and his only concern is a fuelsaving tyre that will last, with minimum requirements, for 30.000-40.000 miles (50.000-60.000 km)
