These are really excellent tyres, I've been very impressed by them. Grip is superb in both wet and dry, and they let go in a very gentle way. No issues with aquaplaning. Steering weight is a little light for my tastes, but the tyres are responsive and adjustable on the bends. Very nice handling characteristics. No tramlining at all - this has been a pleasant surprise!! Reasonably quiet, not the best but not noisy either, and a nice smooth ride. Best thing though... for a high performance tyre, the wear rate is exceptional!!! Just rotated my tyres at 13,000 miles and there's still plenty of tread, enough for me to get close to 25,000 out of the set I reckon. Highly recommended, a great all rounder.
Used this tyre on my Civic 2.0 FD2A;road handling in dry & wet is great; wear for me was low & lasted 65,000km. Only dislike was the Rough Noise it gives especially after 50% tyre wear........ Will try other tyres like F1 Asymmetric hopefully with lower road noise.....

Hmmm. I think the best thing that can be said about these tyres is that they last. And last. And last. A long time. As such they're great value and they offer excellent levels of grip. However, it stops there. I found the ride quite hard (compared to other tyres on the car) and noisy, with a distinct roar. Feedback and progressiveness- forget about it. Steering response is nothing to write home about, and these tyres tramline and pull your steering around quite badly. So they're not too pleasant to drive on twisty rough roads (especially considering the poor comfort issues). If you're doing a lot of motorway miles and you have a car with soft supension that's well insulated from noise, these could prove a great tyre. Otherwise no thanks!

came fitted on the car. they lasted forever, around 24000 miles. that was the only good point
poor grip in the wet and dry. the compound is just made for longevity. sidewalls are so soft the letters have worn off them due to hard cornering
did not inspire any confidence in the car
noisy at high speed on the motorway, screechy when cornering fast
very expensive to buy!!!!!
they lasted forever but i couldnt wait to get rid.
replaced with vredestein ultrac sessantas and transformed the car.
