Review
A very soft and comfortable tyre suitable for daily driving. It can handle speed above 160kmh quite decently, but when approaching a sharp corner, it gives a "jelly" feel like handling with minimal steering response. I suppose it is not a performance kind of tyre given the characterisics that i have mentioned. The grip during dry was great, and on the wet, it is acceptable. Had given me a shocking skid once or twice the other during the heavy rain(I was driving at a high speed). It gives a good mileage with good wear and tear rate. The noise on these are absolutely minimal! I would really recommend this for the average, daily drivers.
What I like
Very commendable on its abilities for daily driving!
What I do not like
Has limited performance feature.
I installed this on
Nissan Qashqai
Review
Not bad at all, very comfortable and a quiet tyre. However, the downside is that these tyres are quite soft, so they roll a bit on the corners. These are not top-performance tyres at all but will be fine for a family car. Grip on dry tarmac is excellent, wet is better than average but not fantastic. Feedback from the road is more than I'm used to though. The tyres seem to tramline a bit. Also, the steering now feels very light, presumably due to the lack of friction between rubber and road. It often feels like you are not in control of the wheels. Safety would be a factor, hence this tyres don't meet this criteria all too well.
What I like
Good performance on the road, gripping well on both dry and wet roads, quiet and comfortable.
What I do not like
The soft sidewalls of these tyres makes it a chore to do cornering. Most newbies to these set of tyres would feel insecure.
