Overall opinion / comments / strengths / weaknesses: I have only been using this tyre for a matter of weeks now so nog term review as yet. For the first 500 miles the tyres struggled in wet and dry conditions and I was wondering where all the previous good reviews had come from. They appear now to have bedded in now and grip is excellent especially in the dry and the car will change direction without any issues at all. The tyre has a race look and sloping shoulder which takes a bit of getting used to as it appears to slide during the first 500 miles and doesn't thrill you with confidence. This slowly wears off after that and the tyres behave impeccably after that.
Price paid and from where: Locally fitted about £86 each. Can be easily bought online delivered and unfitted for around the same price.
