I bought my Rs225 with shot tires.got Kendra on price. $100 a corner.
In wet weather my car becomes a drift car. Dry not bad....they take a while to warm up. Not a tire for perfomance car !

These were fitted to my car when i bought it, they were brand new at th time and so i decided i would get some use out of them before changing them. I bought the car last october and so the first few months usage was in cold, wet and icy conditions and to be honest they performed well in those conditions. We had 12inches of snow and maybe its the hard compound but i was suprised at the grip in compacted snow.

I've covered nearly 7k miles with them now and they'll be coming off the car soon. They are very noisey, it sounds like i have worn bearings such is the noise. Wet grip is poor, push them at all and they squirm and slide on the road. I can spin the wheels in 3rd gear in the wet with them.

Dry grip can only be described as adequate but push them and the car seems to wander slightly on the road. Comfort is pretty good but overall theyre a poor tire and the only reason i can see for buying a set again is price. I however will never buy a set of them.

these tires came on my evo 5.... i will never have them again. they are dodgy in the dry and the worst tire in the wet. its like having a rwd!! the only positive for them is they last for ages and are pretty good in the snow

Got them with car. Will change as soon as possible. Do not want to wait warmer weather. But must give some honesty it was cold in last couple months 2-8 Celsius. So may be stiff just because weather. Safety however does not have price tag!

Given 60% while driving a SEAT Leon Cupra (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
Poor wet grip and very poor wet traction even in 3rd gear. They weren't quite as bad when they had more rubber on. Not bad dry grip though for the money. They've lasted 20k which is the same as the Bridgestones, Pirellis, Federals I've had on the same car.

I think these tires are great!
Paid $108 per corner fitted and balanced. Previously had Kumho KU31 and before that Toyo Proxes 4 and I can honestly say these are just as good!
For the price I paid i was blown away.
Very happy

These tires are useless! I cannot recommend them at all in any way, they are noisy with zero grip in the wet or dry.
