Renault Clio 1.4 16v
(185/55 R15 H) on
mostly motorways
for 5,000
average miles
Bought these tires based on generally good reviews for grip on wet roads, wear etc. Considering the wet climate in The Netherlands, this counts for me. Also, wear, because I don't like spending too much on the rubber.
I've had them fitted in september '12 and drive the car on a daily basis, mainly to work via motorway.
The tires somewhat disappoint me! I haven't put that many miles on the clock since but still the front tires are already starting to wear down quite a bit!
Also, the grip on the wet is just bad, bad, bad... I've had ABS take over when breaking just a bit harder than usual when people started to act like idiots in front of my while doing 80 mph... And just yesterday when exiting a roundabout just a little sportyer than usual, the front just goes all over the place.
And this is a 101 HP car weighing 1100+ kilo's...
So yes, the price is OK, not too noisy and the comfort is OK but I don't trust them too much on the wet in fast corners etc. Where I used to trust my old worn tires to hold a straight line, on these I will slow down.
