a combination of roads for 7000
spirited miles
Bought to replace worn Pilot Exaltos as I was on a budget. Once they had a few hundred miles on them and the initial greasy feel of new tires had gone they perfomed very well. They are MUCH quieter that the pilots, although the pilots were worn and worn tires can get louder. They squeel sooner than the pilots but outright dry grip is only very slightly lower, if at all. Wet grip is great both under braking, you have to really try to get the ABS to come on, and cornering. Both Dry and Wet this is a prdictable and progressive tire with good feed back and a quiet comfortable ride. They are wearing reasonably well so far with 7000 miles on them and about 50% wear on the fronts having been driven quite hard on a 170hp front drive car. But at the price if they only last 10000 then still a bargin. If you dont mind not having, or paying for, a premium name then these are great (and they are owned by Continental)
