These tires were standard fitment to our Skoda Octavia VRS MY14 Sedan. We live in Queensland, Australia and have used them in all kinds of travel, commuting, short trips, extended trips (4000 km), towing across a wide range a road surfaces, suburban streets, motorway travel, highway (Australian versions, insert ironic laugh), dirt roads, all wet and dry conditions. In other words they have had a good all round usage. I have found them to be very good at most things. I have never had any safety issues. I am an operational police officer and trained and experienced in high speed pursuit driving. These tires provide me with much confidence in the wet and dry. I drive mostly conservatively and look after my tires by adhering to proper tire rotation and correct tire pressures. Still I am surprised at the 63,000 km we have achieved. We still have the same brake pads and disks as well which may indicate my driving style. However when I get up it, the car is responsive, tracks well in corners and brakes well. The only sour note would be the loud drone on concrete and some bitumen road surfaces. On other bitumen surfaces it is quite acceptable. I just turn up the Black Sabbath and carry on?? The car will only chirp in first gear with a bit of torque steer but other than that it is good. Recommended and will get a set of BS Adrenaline RE003 as next iteration of excellence hopefully.
