I have fitted these tires on my Giulietta last summer and the car felt worse from the beginning. The ride was rough and there were vibrations felt through the seat and in the steering wheel at high speeds. I tried balancing several times, even at a road force balancing machine that revealed uniformity issues. Indeed, during these 5000 miles I had to rebalance them every so often. As it is mentioned in other posts, the deflection of these tires is huge, the sidewalls seem very soft and therefore cornering is a mess. I didn't find them quiet either and their wear rate was poor. First, they have around 7mm when they are brand new and they were down to 4.5-5mm in 5000 miles of really average driving. Overall, I cannot recommend this tire especially when you can buy a premium one at this price range.

Came with car as factory fit, very good dry and wet grip, for normal driving (without any sport driving intentions because when you push them to a limit they start to loose grip easly) handling is more than fine, on higher speeds can get noisy. Most of the time II had feeling that I don't feel what's happening with car, and in my opinion road feedback is not so good. I wouldn't recommend buying these tires to premium or any other cars than small or city cars. They are ok tires, although there are better out there for the same price.

Have these on the front of my alfa gtv 2.0 ,Bit of a mixed bag to be honest feel very grippy in the dry but I dont think they do much for the handling at all have had them push out in the dry on corners and
they seem to cause the front of the car to bounce around. The bigest surprise was the loss of traction in the wet in a straight line , the gtv is no rocket ship but they wheel spin in the wet when the t spark engine hits the power band not good at all, they are being put on the back of the car and replaced with somthing that is a lot firmer

I have recently fitted these tires to the rear of my car (RWD). So far they have been a comfortable, grippy tire in the wet and dry, although I have not found its limit yet. The downsides I have found with this tire are that they don't come with a rim protector, which added to the overall look of the tire. As a result, the sidewall looks a bit thinner than it is. The sidewall is also very soft, to the touch and to look at. The tire constantly looks under-inflated when in fact it is not.
And finally the biggest downside - as mentioned by other posters - the tire only comes with a tread depth of ~6mm when new. This is less than any other new tire I have bought.
Overall, a good performing, reasonably prices tire, although there are better out there for the same price.

For this price tires are really good. Excellent dry grip. I recenty bought them and didnt drive at wet condition. Looks like there is less than 8mm of tire when bought new.They are produced in new Bridgestone factory in Hungary.
They have much better grip then 3,5 years old Michelins, that I had before. On other car I drive new Nokian Line, and this tire feels the same at road. Sidewall looks a little bit softer when touched then expected. I would allways recommend Continental if you have money, but if budget is too low this tire does the same job.

Just an update on my tires after a trip to Cornwall, my overall advice is don't put these on the front of the car, the deflection ( bulge ) is too great this is a straight line tire it does not like sweeping bends at all. It is a very comfy tire its good in the wet its good in the dry but only at low speeds do not push this tire it cant take it. Even my partner has commented are they low on pressure, they are on eco pressures at the mo 36psi and they still look low the sidewall just pushes outwards they are weak. The other tires I have used are of a stiffer side wall and hold themselves on bends and I am not concerned but these on moderate fast roads are a nightmare on the front.
cheers

Tuff Tire to review, its a very soft tire compared to others very soft sidewall I am on 36psi on the front to decrease tire deflection should be 31psi in summer and its still a sponge, dry cornering is noisy because of the tire flexing straight line is fine also its a very comfy ride. In the wet its brill coz its a soft tire and is not a worry at all. One thing because this tire is not sold outside of the UK there are is no information on the sidewall apart from size and speed and load there is no maxx cold psi at all they are not obligated to put any information on the side wall. I spoke to Firestone and they said if you need to know anything about the psi loading you have to phone them to calculate axle weight load rate for them to tell you what air pressure you can inflate the tire to and they will not tell you treadwear at all..I know its pants.

I will not buy this tire again because i like to read the information I require from the sidewall, and not have to contact the manufacturer.

as to wet grip/road feedback and handling never drove to the limit but normal driving with occasional fairly fast cornering
they hold a 40 degree 1 in 8 bend well at 80+ .....but after having a free health check done on the car after a small repair
found out my 6 months old less than 1500mls travel depths were 5m on both front tires...
Comfort medium and noise slightly raised.... need to think price over necessity before buying again..

I feel very safe with these tire. Much better then Michelin

not good in snow no grip

Shite wear rate you'll be lucky to see 9000 miles out of them. A disgrace!

Bought two new front tires on Astra Diesel (2012) they've lasted 11000 miles and are down to 1.6! £89 each . Not good at all. Changed to Dunlop this time.
