Good value tyre - BUT...
The fuel economy has dropped *significantly*. I used to get 70 mpg on my work journey (11 miles, A roads): now even if I drive with a very light right foot I'm lucky to get 55. A definite drop in car performance too: is this just the tyres? Answer is - I don't know... but I went from (barely legal) Michelins to the Nexens, and changed nothing else. I will check the tracking/pressure but I am a little concerned that the softer compound hasn't helped.
Does stick reasonably well for its price - a little early to push to its limits but we shall see.
