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.
