After Nokian Line, Goodyear UG 9, Dunlop SPT Blueresponse, Kleber Dynaher HP3, Fulda Ecocontrol HP at 15 inches, and Falken EW HS01 at 16inches, i went for this Kleber. Must say, i wanted Hankook VP 3, but in this Ford's non standard dimension, i didn't have a choice. Kleber was the only manufacturer with 2021 dot, and with price of 90 euros, pretty expensive.
I was a little bit worried, because there is a very small amount of tyre tests and thoughts about this Kleber, but... Tyre is absolutely safe and in one thing especially good, noise. It is very, very quite. In first two days, 800km of mountin roads and highways combined, with havy rain, very good braking (progressive) and handling. Sligtly week in aquaplaning under 95km/h.
Dry braking is great, handling too. My Focus is fitted with Eibach Pro Kit springs, and i was expecting worse comfort, but in combination with this tyre, comfort is good, must say. Rolling resistance is small, in comparing to winter Falken.
When you switch to sporty driving, it tends to curl in sharper curves, but nothing big or dramatic.
For now, can't say anything about wear.
For me, this tyre is VERY RECOMENDED.
