An absolultely appalling tyre. Three significant draw backs: wear, comfort, and wet weather performance.
On a 1500kg, 220hp front-drive car, lasted only 12000km with an easy driving style. Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 lasted over 50000km, Bridgestone Potenza GIII lasted a similar distance.
Stiff sidewalls were ok for initial turn-in, but crueled ride terribly.
But the killer was wet weather performance - it felt as though the tyre rigidity increased about 4 fold when they hit a bump or road reflector in the wet. The one of the first significant drives I did when fitted was a highway drive in the wet, whenever the tyres hit a road reflector the car would literally jump sideways. Performance was so poor, Bridgestone Australia replaced them with ER300 Turanza without an argument.
I would not recommend these tyres, Goodyear Eagle GSD3 (though no longer sold) were a vastly superior tyre in every respect except, perhaps, willingness on initial turn-in.

I wasn't happy with the wear as the rears of my Magna VRX became slicks after 7,000 km post X-rotation (27.000km in total. That's 20,000 km as front tyres and 7,000 km as rears). However, I am intending to buy GR-90 (or newer generations) again after the Michelins I have got.
