185/60R15, Opel Combo tour(08), typical in-city driving and travel on motorways aprox. 1250 km per month., general mileage on tires: 50k km after 4 years.
DRY - stable tyre, quiet on different surfaces, when attacking the corner with high speed doesn't squeeze a lot (remember it's 60s profile) and doesn't squeak as a result. Could be better on road signs and sewer manholes - avoid slippery paint. Difficult to compare on dry to other manufactures, very similar handling. More differences on wet.
WET - astonishing good, 1st tires in my life which don't pull to the side after driving into a puddle, compared to: Michelin Primacy (1st tires on this car, OEM, dont remember which version of primacys they were), one set of Goodyears efficients (dont remember exact model - they were rubbish, changed after half of a year). Gives a sound feedback if there's too much water (the frequency of sound changes to higher and more...?stertorous?). Still quiet, like on the dry conditions.
HANDLING - there's a feel in active steering that the steering wheel is turning, later the tire on its sides and later the car. It is although predictible and drive-secure. Low rolling resistance is feelable. After 4 years still more than 6mm of thread.
