I replaced the front 2 before driving from Dublin,Ireland to Arzachena, Sardinia, Italy, Through England, France, Corsica then into northern sardinia, all motorways and secondary roads June 2010. could not fault the tyre, so far. I have done some off-roading too, soil and stone, and all ok there too. still too early to give a full judgement on the tyre. best advice is to research tyre well, and decide what you want , summer, winter or all season.
