while driving a
Renault Clio 1.5 DCi 65
(165/65 R14 T) on
a combination of roads
for 16,000
spirited miles
Tires were AVON CR 322
I bought these tires thinking they would be pretty good in the wet, for the past 16000 miles they have been. I do quite a bit of fast country roads and cross town driving, usually fast roundabout etc.
Tires have always been good grip in the dry, never ever broken away when ive pulled out of junctions, in the wet they are very solid and grip the road well. Ive noticed that they still hold there own, bit coming up to the end of there life and its now winter, they are finding it a bit difficult in the wet... im not having to pussy foot around, but have had the temptation to yank the hand brake as i can feel the car sliding about at corners, usually understeering into tight bends, nothing major but letting me know the tires are on the way out.
I havent had any problems with these tires, the clio has always been very sure footed and fine on the road, the suspension is quite firm and they do seem a bit hard sometimes, but always grip well, untill they are in wet slippery roads and there are pot holes, they tend to be bit hard and bounce on the road causing the ABS to kick in a bit. IE hitting a bump tires bounce and in the air they stop, usually all other tires ive had dont do this, but these are quite firm!
Other than that GREAT TYRE!! for the price its good in wet!! I drive very hard and they have been on for 18k!
