I ordered a set of Autogreen tyres, the garage then couldn't supply them on the day do gave me these "more expensive" tyres, what a mistake to have taken them. They are incredibly long lasting and OK in warm and dry. Once below about 10 degrees they have poor levels of stopping ability and dire wet weather abilities, even given they are summer tyres. There is no way that the compound can be the same as when EU testing happened as they are certainly not B standard in the wet, it's a bit like driving on slush. I am a relatively relaxed and sedate driver in a 60hp car so this is not me driving like a fool. Despite having tonnes of rubber left I binned these off today, having aquaplaned in moderate rain in town and loosing traction whenever any moisture is in the about. Cheaper to replace the tyres than the car!
