These are the first Premium tyres I have ever purchased, with many pros and cons.

Handling & Performance - With a reasonable tread these were awsome on cornering and grip but they grip the road too well which leads to problems with handling on deviations in the road surface. This is something that gets worse the more the tyre wears. Accelerating from a standstill however has resulted in zero skids even in the wet. I have noticed however that the tyres are not very good in the snow. They can get up a hill no problem but even light breaking on compacted snow causes the ABS to kick in.

Comfort - The compound of the tyres must be quite hard as you do feel every bump and pot hole which does not make for a comfortable ride. As a result, i've had to replace 2 front coil springs and an ABS ring within the last 12 months.

As these are run flat tyres you can safely drive them to a garage when flat without having to lower your speed to a crawling pace or shread the tyre. With budget or some mid range tyres I used to constantly get screw and nail punctures but in the 2 years I've had these i've not had one.

Overall - Great for grip, reasonable tyre wear, hard to puncture but poor handling below 3m tread (pulling side to side).
